    Who each paddle is for

    Six Zero Black Diamond 14mm

    Best for intermediate players (3.5-4.5) looking for a balanced upgrade who play with a balanced two-handed/one-handed mix. The widebody profile gives you a generous sweet spot, the 14mm core balances pop and control, and the raw carbon face bites on spin shots.

    Playing style: power

    Six Zero Ruby Pro 14mm

    Best for intermediate players (3.5-4.5) looking for a balanced upgrade who play with a balanced two-handed/one-handed mix. The hybrid shape splits the difference between reach and forgiveness, the 14mm core balances pop and control, and the face surface keeps spin honest without overdoing it.
