Six Zero Ruby 16mm

#7 Best Seller
in SIX ZERO Collection

..

The Six Zero Ruby Pickleball Paddle is a world first paddle that uses 100% Aramid fiber, sourced from DuPont Kevlar® as its face material. The face material has a unique combination of high strength, high modulus, toughness and thermal stability. It has high impact resistance and is durable (abrasion resistant), meaning the paddle surface should last a long time and be more resistant to wear compared to existing carbon faced paddles**. In addition, the cross-weave cloth pattern provides a bump in spin, grip and feel. The way the face grabs the ball really stands out along with the power generated. Six Zero spent over 10 months developing the Ruby paddle.

There is a measurable difference between existing face materials and Kevlar® in terms of production workability and the process of imparting a raw textured surface. The Ruby paddle has an eye-catching red cloth matched with white trim highlights. The unibody paddle design builds on the carbon fusion edge thermoform technology developed by Six Zero across its Diamond Series. 

Custom Six Zero neoprene cover included with every Black Diamond Series paddle!

**Depending on play style, some users may notice our red cloth fibers on the face of the paddle. Please be advised this is normal for 100% Kevlar® texture and does not impact performance or playability of the paddle. This is considered regular wear and tear and will not be covered under our warranty.   In a normal carbon faced paddle the face cloth and epoxy will wear roughly together and both slough off as dust.  Whilst with a Kevlar® paddle, the tough wear resistant cloth remains and shows as small tufts as the epoxy wears.  In addition, we DO NOT recommend using a cleaning rubber on the Ruby as it may pull out small Kevlar® tufts.

High-Tech Production Process

To produce the highest quality and performance paddles our Ruby paddles are manufactured using multi-stage cold and hot mold process technology.

Aerodynamically Engineered Flared Design

The Ruby is designed to optimize reach and aerodynamics. A slightly flared shape improves the sweet spot in the core hitting zone of the paddle.

DuPont™ Kevlar® Textured Surface

A newly developed Premium American DuPont™ Kevlar® textured surface that provides amazing spin, grip and feel on the ball. Multiple interwoven layers add strength, power and controlled pop.

Carbon Fusion Edge Technology

To improve robustness, durability and responsiveness the Six Zero Team have developed Carbon Fusion Edge Technology.  Foam injection followed by a light-weight carbon seam fusing the top and bottom faces of the paddle results in a tighter crisp feel and an increased sweet spot that radiates around the paddle perimeter. 

Premium Honeycomb Polymer Core

Tried and tested to ensure the ultimate power engine for lasting performance. The 16mm thick core gives the best power to control ratio.

3D Carbon Forged Elongated Handle

To maximize strength and performance Six Zero engineers have designed a 3D carbon forged handle.  The carbon face and fusion edge technology extends down the full length of the handle and is forged together under heat and pressure – 3D carbon.  The construction is designed to reduce vibration, ensuring comfortable play and a responsive feel.  The design allows for optimal flex, improving the paddle neck sweet spot.  A tapered neck and a 5.5” elongated handle accommodates for double backhand players. The handle is finished with a premium custom Six Zero perforated leather grip with a 4.125-4.25” circumference – suited to all sized hands.

Perfectly Balanced

Our engineering and quality control team paid particular attention to the importance of a perfectly weighted and balanced paddle. Ergonomics play an important role in player comfort and control.

Great Paddle!!

Loving this paddle so far! Purchased this paddle on a whim and everything about it feels right. Great service by pickleball depot, received in 3 days!!

6.0 Ruby pickleball racquet just great

I have received this racket after 2 weeks from the order date. The package was delivered in good condition, however, the racket had a slight scoff mark on one side. I did not bother reporting it as it was slightly obvious. Now for the performance of the racket; being a 3.7 rating player I find this racket really helps my game. In that, (not to go in to much detail) mty short game has improved substantially and it has not really hindered my drives either. Although, my hard game has suffered slightly, but I give that up for the much appreciated short game and reset.

As for how long will this Kevlar surface last, only time will tell.

Cheers!

Like that paddle so much

It’s my 3rd one and by far my best one.
Great control and spin.
Lesss power than my Prokennex

Placement over Power

I’ve used my Ruby about a dozen times and I’m getting used to the new paddle.
It is significantly different than my carbon fibre paddle which was all pop and very unforgiving if my angle was off by a degree or two.
The Ruby doesn’t have the same pop but it does provide excellent catch and control. I have to punch a lot more if I want power but my drop shots and placement and digs are much better and I’m making far fewer unforced errors.
If you’re a 3.5 or below player then I think the Ruby will improve your game. If you’re 4.0 or above then you’ve already got the subtle control that the Ruby provides.
I’m winning more with the Ruby that my previous paddles.

The price and delivery time from Pickleball Depot was also excellent - thanks.
