%The Six Zero Black Diamond Power Elongated is made for aggressive players who want to dictate the pace of the game with heavy serves and fast drives. It offers a stiff, crisp feel that generates massive spin and effortless power, but you will need to put in some time to adjust your control on soft dinks and resets. Because it tends to overhit if you are not careful, it is probably not the right match if you rely on a touch-heavy soft game. However, if you are looking to add some serious offensive pressure and punchy put-aways to your singles or doubles matches, this paddle is worth a serious look.
