Nice review. I'm really anxious to see what 2023 holds for new paddle technology. You're going to have your hands full with all the new paddles coming out. I'm glad you have a part of the review talking about what effect lead tape has on the particular paddle. I like what lead tape brings to any paddle. I'm already looking forward to your next review. Thanks again.

Ha I'm nervous about how many paddles are coming out. I'm going to have to be more selective this year, it's a lot of work.
Another great review, thanks. I appreciate that you incorporated the comparison to the CRBN 1x 16mm. With the wave of new raw carbon paddles out from CRBN, Six Zero, Legacy, Vatic as well as others to follow, it would be great to see some sort of multi-paddle comparison chart that ranks each on a few criteria, especially if it also had a popular category-leader paddle as a baseline. Perhaps something similar to the charts you included in your SLK Halo review write up? Personally, I would love to see those kind of charts for each of the three categories of paddles you reference on your site (control, all-court, power). Lastly, I would love your thoughts on the 14mm versions of the CRBN 1x and the Vatic (only two I know of that have 14mm versions) and how they compete in the power paddle category. I just got the 14mm 1x and although I have only played with it for about 3 days, I do like it so far. It would be helpful to hear your thoughts, especially as someone with more experience and a broader array of comparisons. I also know you have to be selective in your choice of reviews, thanks again!

Totally agree, I'm interested in that too. I'm talking with Legacy and Vatic and hope to get their paddles soon so I can hit them all and compare. I imagine they will all be similar but with some nuances like we saw with the wave of raw carbon paddles last year.
I’m currently playing with the Ruby and love it, however I’m looking for a paddle that’s a little more head light for more maneuverability at the kitchen (without compromising spin and power). Would you recommend the BD in this case? 8:18
@pickleballeffect
5 ай бұрын
Yes, if you like the little extra power the ruby gives you then the BD makes more sense than the DBD and is lighter. It does have a stiffer feel than the Ruby that will take a minute to get used to though.
As an amateur player, durability is the no 1 factor for consideration. I have a Joola Hyperion 14 mm paddle, delamination and surface carbon fiber peel-off start very early after purchase, and Joola said it is normal.

Great Review. On your written review, you had the DBD at 86 for control/feel and 83 for power. You said you added lead tape to the DBD (shown in the picture of the written review) and I was wondering what is the new number for control/feel and for power with the lead tape? Thanks
Is it worth buying DBD at $160 or Vatic pro Flash at $110? Which would you buy, and which paddle do u think will last longer?

Your reviews are always helpful and I really appreciate the comparison with the new CRBN1X, which is a paddle I'm interested in. Will you be reviewing the Legacy Pro 16mm anytime soon?

Thanks for watching. I don’t have a Legacy paddle yet, but have one in order when they are back in stock. Lots of interest around it so I’ll probably do a full review.
Thank you for another thorough and well thought out review. Another reviewer commented that he thought because of the way the perimeter carbon strip is fused to the face, it allows for some degree of flex as opposed to a one piece wrap. He also felt that because of that, there seems to be a break in period as the flex seems to increase a little. Is that something you felt too?
@pickleballeffect

There is definitely a difference in how these played using the carbon strip fuse rather than a 360 degree wrap. I'm not sure if there was a break in period but I certainly got used to the feel and they seemed softer to me overtime but I still thought they maintained the same power as they did out of the box.

Great review. Thanks for putting it out there -- I snagged the 16mm SixZero DBD and can't say enough good things about it. For me, I'm used to adding lead tape to my paddles to create some stability/control but this was the 1st paddle I haven't added any tape to. Pure stock configuration has been great. The spin is top tier (at least for H1'2023), sweet spot is huge, and the slight drop in power over pure power paddles is negligible and I like the handle length + low swing weight of the DBD out-the-box.

Yeah, I have one of the new Legacy paddles and have played with it quite a bit. It’s similar but something about the balance of it is off to me, I prefer the DBD 16. My Dupr is always fluctuating but it’s 4.9 something right now. I compete at the 5.0 level. I’ve medaled in a few but am usually in the middle of the pack.
How would you compare the pop vs Engage Pursuit? Was leaning toward the raw carbon as a replacement to my pursuit but you mentioned the fiberglass had more pop. I feel if the double black has similar pop to the pursuit I would pick the carbon for all the other control advantages.

The original pursuit series and the Black Diamond have similar power ratings but the new Pursuits probably have similar or less power than the DBD 16.
I was debating if I should buy the DBD 16mm or the Vatic Pro Flash 16mm. Do you know what the differences are? Online reviews are saying that they come from the same factory and virtually identical...do you agree? If so, should I just save money and go with the flash?

They are similar but not the same. They use a different carbon fiber weave. For me, I can control the DBD a little better but it’s not a huge difference.
What we need, Braydon, and apparently what you are striving for is the ability to compare the four edge foam brands (and evidently they are all made in the same factory in China, though customized by brand): CRBN 1/2X, Legacy Pro, SixZero C/P, and Vatic Pro Flash/V7. For Vatic I am sure you will be getting their “new batch” paddles with a tighter carbon fiber face weave and more compressed polypropylene honeycomb core cells. I am not making a purchase among them until I hear your reviews. I am particularly concerned about face material durability. Thank you.

Good question. I had a hard time deciding if the DBD should be categorized as a control paddle or all-court paddle. It does have more pop than your standard raw carbon but it's not a big jump. I personally prefer the softer feel of standard raw carbons and didn't think the little extra power it gave me was enough to justify its stiffer feel that I wasn't in love with though I could control it just fine. The BD, however, does have the pop to justify the not as soft feel and I thought it's raw fiberglass face was very innovative. I actually liked the BD more but I'm willing to bet more people will take to the DBD rather than the BD.

Hey Braydon, thanks for your review. I currently use a Vulcan V570CF2 and love it. Surprised I don't see anyone playing with it. I'd like to add a similar paddle to my tool bag with a slightly shorter handle and a little more pop. Definitely sticking to raw carbon fiber, so I'm looking at the double black diamond. The website lists the handle at 5.5" (same as my Vulcan), but you say it's 5.3" in this video. I know it's a tiny difference, but that's exactly what I'm looking for since I don't use two-handed backhand, but get a ton of spin and a bit more overhead power from the longer handle. Also, how does the DBD do on drop shots? bc my Vulcan drops are as good as I can get.

Hey Braydon! I’ve read through all the comments on the video and it’s been a little while since someone asked about an update. I ran into a few Reddit users that mentioned the BD has more of a softer feel than the DBD. I am heavily considering the DBD for the added control while still having high spin and lots of power. I’ve seen some of JohnKew’s videos where he shows the fiberglass on the BD playing a big part in the longevity. But the common theme in all the paddle reviews I’ve seen is the DBD is everyone’s favorite. Are you still using the DBD as your primary paddle? If not what’s your current go to? Side note: While I’m waiting on the DBD to get back in stock I picked up a Pro Line Energy paddle by Pickleball Apes. They have one of the longest handles at 6.25 and the face is a mix of Kevlar and carbon fiber. Figured with you being a paddle nerd maybe you’d think about reviewing it sometime. I have mine coming in the mail this week. Excited to test out the new facing material.

Gearbox uses their core to apply spin and doesn't totally rely on grit so the spin potential lasts longer.

You can tell a difference with the handle lengths for sure. The CRBN 1x feels longer and the head looks smaller. I actually really like the 5.3" handle length. There are lots of benefits to a longer handle but 5.5" eats into the paddle face too much for me so I like the slightly shorter handle of the Six Zeros. As for the extended length difference, the CRBN is obviously your standard elongated length but the hybrid length of the Six Zero felt more like a standard shape than an elongated shape to me.
