Double Black Diamond Control 15mm
A balanced all-court paddle that brings good spin and a forgiving feel, though the poppy face takes some getting used to on touch shots.
Pros
- Delivers good accuracy on overheads, volleys, and hard topspin serves
- Generates plenty of spin for drops and drives
- Sweet spot is forgiving enough to handle mishits near the edges
- Feels a bit more plush and less rigid than standard thermoformed paddles
Cons
- Poppy face makes early drops and dinks a bit difficult to control
- Takes some adjustment if you are coming from a traditional control paddle
- Stock grip tends to get slippery and sweaty during hot weather

%The Six Zero Double Black Diamond Control Elongated gives you a nice blend of workable power and strong spin without feeling overly stiff like some other thermoformed options. It has a pretty generous sweet spot that keeps mishits from dying on you, making it easier to maintain depth from the baseline. While it performs well during hand battles and drives, the responsive face can make dialing in your drops and dinks a bit tricky at first. It is a solid match for players looking to upgrade their all-court game, provided you do not mind swapping out the stock grip for something tackier.
