Thank you for the ad
Our pleasure!
Hey, this is fantastic info! Really, I think you nailed my pickleball elbow problem. But no one else is really talking about this, how do you know this? Any sources? Thank you
It’s from my personal trials and errors of myself having tennis elbow. I spoke with a orthopedic surgeon who told me that was the problem.
Hello, I watched your social video sharing and I think you are very suitable for the evaluation experience of our product. I don’t know if you are interested in our product experience. If you are interested, please reply to my message. Thank you!
My top pick for a beginner paddle and their new challenger is a perfect step up got a way better deal than advertised with code JADEN66185 as well
I’m looking to start playing this game and currently searching for paddles. From the videos I’ve been watching, this company pops up several times. I think I’ve made my decision. Now to figure out shoes that don’t break the bank!
Tennis Express has some cool tennis/ pickleball shoes...
Post more!! Love these reviews and in-depth analysis! Best KZreadr I’ve came across. Thanks!
Thanks, I have some more content coming up hopefully soon. I appreciate your patronage.
I heard that cleaning technique is different for the Ruby than the DBD. I just ordered my Ruby to compare with my DBD, but just being cautious with the Kevlar and cleaning technique.
Use a damp microfiber cloth, or order paddle reset off of Amazon. There are a couple of other cleaners on Amazon that work as well.
Horrible customer service. Purchased two Challenger paddles on Memorial Day sale. 4 days later price lower. Asked for price adjustment; customer would not give the adjustment; stated Memorial Day sale was a “flash” sale. It wasn’t a flash when deal was run over a week. Kinda a weasel company. Good luck if you need the 99 Day Happiness guarantee (watch out; it’s only valid on the og paddle). My next paddles will not be from this company And any time I’m asked about Friday (a play in PHX very active PB community), I will share the above experience.
Thank you for the in depth review! I've been using a Vatic Pro 16mm which I think is wearing down. For the price and the guarantee it sounds like the Friday paddles can't be beat! I''ll probably get the 2 for $139 Challenger T7. Cheers👍👍
Ok
being completely honest. i have the joola c2 ben johns paddle ($250 retail) and i hate it compared to the friday paddles. ended up buying 4 more to get my family playing. only downfall is that some of the paddles i ordered had a shaking sound. but they ended up shipping me another one and let me keep the faulty one.
the paint will also start to come off relatively fast w these bright color ways. but that doesnt bother me. theyre $50 and hit great
Cool guy keep it up
👍👌🙏🙏🙏
I have to disagree with the 7 for baseline. If you’re driving the ball you want to have a loosish grip so you can have sufficient lag on your wrist. In terms of drops I prefer a loose grip too but that could just be preference.
perfect review, not something paid for or regurgitated from a web article or magazine.
Great review!

I only saw one diamond on the paddle. That would not make it a DBD.
Dude looks like a 4.0 players at best.
If that. Most of the shots he hit were all arms. 4.0? Hhmm.
Nice paddle, just picked one up myself. Costco has a half decent set of cheap selkirks for beginners
Great info, but PLEASE lose the music, it's so distracting !!!

looks like a great workout of 85+
4.3
Ruby is 275
What currency are you using? It's $199 usd before my discount code which brings it to $179
What was the paddle that you used prior to the 6.0?
The gamma obsidian and prior to that, the gamma 205
That overhead went straight into the net. Guaranteed. The sound of the ball hitting the net gives it away.
Actually, it hit the top of the net and flipped over.

Very simple and good advice. I started playing pickleball recently and love how direct and applicable your content is. Thanks and subbed!
Thanks for your kind comment… I try to keep things as simple as possible. The mechanics of this game are not really hard, and if you build muscle memory with them, you could be a very good player and a pretty short time.
I’m still undecided. I drive better with the Ruby, but dink better with the DBD.
I have both paddles and use both, depending on how I feel on a certain day. They’re both great paddles for slightly different reasons. The ruby does take some getting used to because of the uniqueness of the face for sure.
Same
Am I missing something? It look like you are reviewing the Black Diamond and not the DBD.
It’s hard to see but the small print says DOUBLE BLACK.
No, it’s the double black diamond… I think the videographer took some stock photos off of the website and mistakenly put in the black diamond.
Yeah the photo inserts are black diamond. But he’s referring to the dbd
I have both the Ruby is a little hard to drop into the kitchen for resets due to how poppy it is. Power and Spin is great but it does feel harsh compared to the DBD. If you like plush get the DBD. I rarely play with my Ruby now.
See, I find the double black diamond a bit more poppy for dinks than the ruby. It’s all in how you play, and what muscles you use to dink with, and, of course, your feel. Both are great paddles, enjoy.
I like the feel of my Ruby a little better than the DBD.
Curious, do you have the 16 mm or 14 mm DBD? And if you played both, which do you prefer?
I bought the DBD on Boxing Day and they had a Holiday bundle package of 20% off if you bought a paddle and 2 accessories. So I got the eraser, and 3 over grips. I found the paddle to be a bit head heavy compared to my old paddle, but it didn't take long to get used to it. I found 3rd shot drops, resets, and dinks were like cheating as it seemed so easy. I come from tennis, so this paddle gives me all the power that i will ever need. My top spin servers are awesome to hit, and each time i hit it i think it is going out long, but the spin this paddle generates pulls the ball down so fast. I play indoors right now because of living in Canada, and the floor is concrete, and my slice returns stays so low that i get so many free points. I would definitely buy another DBD.
Agree! Ruby is awesome as well!
Good review. I looked at both and got the DBD for the somewhat lower swing weight. Either has enough power and pop for my game. I consider myself primarily a control player. Six Zero now calls the DBD their control paddle. Many reviewers describe it as a great all court paddle. I agree. On thing I like about the DBD versus my previous paddles is the sweet spot. I’ve tried a number of paddles. At some point I don’t really want to be a paddle nerd. I’m thinking the DBD is a good place to stay for a while.
That was my first thought as well… The sweet spot is much better than my former paddle, which is the primary reason I bought it.
i got the DBD,hits like a tank..i weighed mine stock with nothing added is 9.1 isnt that wrong..thinking of reaching out to 6.0
Yes, if it’s truly 9.1, that is almost a full ounce heavier than what we advertise. I would absolutely reach out to them.
Is that in ounces? Are you sure your scale is accurate? That's outside of the range of manufacturing variance for the DBD.
I picked up the ruby but it was actually too heavy for my taste. Not sure if I got an extra heavy model. I was missing the hand speed i had with the prism flash 16mm. switched to the dbd 14mm and i think it's the best of both worlds. great handspeed and pop, decent power, and still a good amount of control.
I haven’t tried the 14 mm paddle yet, but that’s my next order from them. Always been a control guy, but was curious about how much more pop I got from a 14 and how much less touch. Thanks for your update.
You might have gotten a heavy model. Mine is actually really light reminding me of some gen 1 paddles
Found this video very useful. I started using the Black Diamond when it first came out, then added the Double BD for my second paddle. I am a paddle nerd and have bought and played various Joola, Bread & Butter, and Gearbox paddles. All have been good paddles and some very good, but like you the Six-Zero paddles elevated my play. I have been going back and forth between adding a Ruby or a Gearbox Power Pro, and after watching your review think I'll try out a Ruby next .......... though I know I'll end up with Power pro elongated at some point as well. Only problem is the Ruby is out of stock until the end of the month, but I think Six Zero is a great company and make fantastic paddles!
They really do make great paddles… I did try the gearbox, PowerPro, and it has a ton of power. More than I really want to try to use. My game is a control game, not a power game and I rely on pinpoint dinks and passing shots as opposed to Slamming it and trying to overpower people. The gearbox power pro is much more powerful than the ruby, but it doesn’t have anywhere near the touch that the ruby has.
@@limitlesspickleball Have you tried the BD Infinity?

You also need weight transfer from Back Foot to Front Foot which you are doing naturally
No lag, no power.
Hey, that’s Gary’s favorite shot. 😀
This might be a good tip for beginners who do not want to do a lot of self analysis trying to understand the mechanics of the swing. After a while, this kind of a technique would look pretty silly. And it wouldn’t work at any sort of quasi-competitive level.
I work mostly with beginners, advanced, beginners, and low intermediate. They frequently have issues hitting the ball too high or into the net. The sequence I give them with this works very well for them. You can use what works well for you.
Please also make sure to teach the side shuffle! Doing a v around is good when it’s too late to overhead, but side shuffle allows you to cover ground easier and faster for overheads
For the serve should your feet be open or closed ?
We did a video on the best way to serve. Check it out kzread.info/dash/bejne/gpmbqZSiqNjZZbw.html
In general, closed with your toes and chest 90* to your target. But here’s the key… are you getting it in and deep consistently? If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!
The depressing thing about tennis (or in this case, pickleball) is that no matter how good I get, I'll never be as good as a wall. Mitch Hedberg
If the students are all beginners this might be good advice. For even 4.0+ players this is ridiculous.
I work mostly with beginners and intermediate players. Maybe you can do a video for 4.0+ players and show them the correct way?
Thank you for your clear, straightforward demo. I've had paddle probblem for some time.
Stable paddle face is ridiculous? Ever watch Ben Johns play?
@@kbotelho27 well, Ben Johns isn’t on my lesson list? I work mostly with 3.5 students and under who have flying elbows, flick their wrists, etc… if Ben calls me, I’ll pass along your advice
Why not?
When someone gives me a high serve I can hit it hard and deep with a lot of top spin. I prefer someone serves me high.
amazing techie... gold for coaches and trainers... PLEASE DO THIS AGAIN BUT WITH BETTER AUDIO... CAN YOU JUST VOICE OVER?? I'M HAVING A HARD TIME UNDERSTANDING. GRACIAS
FANTASTIC
Great video. If you can get a mic that would be good. I couldn't hear you too well but I heard the people in the background way too loud. Thanks
