Who it's for
Best for 3.5+ players who prioritize control and reach who play with a balanced two-handed/one-handed mix. The widebody profile gives you a generous sweet spot, the 16mm core gives you a soft touch window, and the raw carbon face bites on spin shots.
Should you buy the Six Zero Double Black Diamond Control 16mm?
Best for
3.5+ control doubles dinkers; raw-carbon thermoformed face, elite spin and resets over raw power.
Who should buy the Double Black Diamond Control 16mm
Buy it if you're a 3.5+ control player who wants premium raw-carbon feel at well under flagship money. The Toray T700 thermoformed face bites for genuinely best-in-class spin that holds up over months, and the 16mm core deadens pace for resets and dinks while keeping a large, forgiving sweet spot. The control crowd's value darling.
Who should skip it
Skip it if you want easy power off the face or a paddle that feels right on day one. It's tuned to absorb pace, so bangers will want something livelier, and the thermoformed pop has a real learning curve - expect a few pop-ups and overhits until you trust how hot it plays on drives.
The main tradeoff
You trade out-of-the-wrapper readiness and put-away pop for control and elite spin. The deadening core makes resets easy and the thermoformed face grips hard, but it needs a break-in for your timing and you'll manufacture power with mechanics.
Is it worth it?
One of the best control values in the catalog - genuine raw-carbon flagship feel and elite, durable spin at $219.99, embarrassing the $300 names for control players specifically. If touch and spin are your game, you give up very little to the pricier paddles.
