What's the deal w the grip? Is that a feature or something you added?

@jmac430 Год назад

I mean the hexagonal shapes under your over grip...

@PickleballStudio Год назад

Something I added. I'll pin this comment so people are aware. It was called a Hesacore and was something I tested briefly on the DBD. Personally wasn't my favorite grip attachment, but some people really like it.

@@jmac430 Correct, that's what I'm talking about. It's called Hesacore.

I've had the DBD for about 2 months now. I agree with your assessment of this paddle. There is a little adjustment to the feel type shots, but once you do adjust I feel I have very good control.

@user-fr9me5up8l Год назад

I did agree with you on the shortness of the handle piece. I took the handle form piece off an old paddle and configured it to attach to the top of their piece. This extended my handle by a 1/2 inch which made the paddle feel so much more comfortable and play so much better(note- it was already my favorite now there is no question to how good this paddle is). So if anyone from six zero sees this please extend the handle form.

@jamesbriggs1573 6 месяцев назад

Do you mind explaining how you did this?

@davegenet 4 месяца назад

I got one about six weeks ago. Loved it. Got another a couple weeks later because I like two and the face texture felt more substantial. The first one was the white on black paddle and the second was the cherry face paddle. Strange. May not make a difference in my game but it is in my head.

@akdemmitt1 Год назад

Truly an excellent paddle. Unfortunately my first one delaminated (it was manufactured in December, so I'm assuming the new ones will not suffer the same fate.) Waiting on my replacement now. Going back to my old CRBN1 16mm has been rough. Once you get used to the putaway power of the thermoformed paddle it is painful to go back.

@user-pv9qb7fz6j 7 месяцев назад

@philmeyer2367 9 месяцев назад

@sawyerfdouble Год назад

Recently bought both the DBD and the 16mm Flash and both are amazing they play virtually the exact same. Waiting for Chris's Vatic Pro review since those are $40 less right now.

@PickleballStudio Год назад

I have hit them both. So far they don't appear identical. They are however quite close. I've found the Vatic to feel less stable and perhaps a little more springy, so I prefer the DBD. However, more in-depth testing may change my opinion. I've talked to Will about it as well and we've both noted similar findings.

@PickleballStudio Год назад

I definitely think for $130 ish (with discount code) the Vatic is a pretty insane value.

@brianporter2806 Год назад

Just ordered one with your code! Looking forward to checking it out. I currently have the Legacy Pro, which was your last favorite. Curious how you would compare the two head to head other than you mentioned the Legacy has a bit more power. Do you feel the double black diamond has a better sweet spot than the Legacy? I too had a hard adjustment with the Legacy in the short game. Got it dialed in now, but still hard to put too much spin on the dinks without it transferring power and going too high.

@redequal7457 Год назад

@godgunsandgoldens Год назад

I’ve played the CRBN x1 16mm and 14 mm for 2 months and a friend let me mess around with his new double diamond switching paddles and the DD seemed spinner but slower. Maybe the spin made it seem slower but all my ground strokes hit short (maybe due to more spin?) but dinking was easier to control with DD over CRBN. Handle is much thicker then I like and not used to shorter handle. DD much more stable at the line IMO. Seems more solid. Not sold enough to buy it at this point.

@PartsNetWeb 9 месяцев назад

Quick question....I also have been using CRBN 1x 16mm. Are you saying the DBD is "Slower" meaning the ball comes off slower?

@mathaddicts100 Месяц назад

Six Zero lists the handle length as 5.5", but the handle felt too short to me, especially for my two-handed backhand. I feel like your 5.3" description was more accurate. I had to measure to the tippy top of the overgrip tape to get 5.5". Do you feel paddle manufacturers are measuring grip lengths accurately? Are they including the unwrapped neck in their measurements sometimes? What are your preferred characteristics for a paddle? Do you prefer stiff over plush or muted? Do you prefer poppy over feeling the paddle pocketing the ball (longer dwell time)? Do/can you generate enough power yourself, or do you like/rely on the paddle's pop to help you? Did you like the 14mm DBD?

I use a CRBN 2x and love it. I just tried the 6.0 DBD today and found that the ball was hard to feel on soft shots. The feedback from the paddle didn't allow me to really get a gauge on how hard to hit my dinks. It felt fine on 3rds and returns. What are your thoughts on this vs the CRBN 2x?

Personally, I don’t agree. The DBD feels more solid to me. However, the value of the Vatic is hard to ignore. I’d say for a lot of people the savings would be worth it. If I was spending my own money, I’d choose the DBD though. But that’s just my own personal preference.

Sweetspot is HUGE, control feels like aimbot for dinking/resets, and power is great from the baseline for me -- though I did note my put away shots from the kitchen felt slightly muted.

While I sent them a question through their web-portal about return policy, never heard back from them. Sorry but I am avoiding this company for two reasons, the price jump and their lack of response to their emails. It has been 24 hours. You might think that isn't that long, but with another company, I received an email immediately! Customer service means a lot to me, especially with all these paddle manufacturers.

@PickleballStudio 9 месяцев назад

The price isn't $225. If you look on their website they have a tool that lets you see the price in other currencies. It's $225 when you set it to AUD. It's $180 in USD. It's just a currency conversion for other countries that want to buy.

@gotsports 9 месяцев назад

@@PickleballStudio Yes you are correct! Thank you for your response and your videos. It helped me a lot from choosing my first Raw carbon fiber paddle. So as far as the pricing, I know it has nothing to do with your designing, but if you run a company, the website should recognize which region you are on so it can be priced accordingly. When and if my first raw carbon fiber paddle goes to the worn out state, I might go with the Double Black.

@DeathgripPowerPlayer Месяц назад

I bought mine Black Friday 2023 and have been so disappointed . From day one to the present, I just feel like the so called "sweet spot" is just dead. Unlike my Engage Pursuit 6.0 EX, there just is no pop when you hit dead on center paddle. Resets and drops are decent and dinks are easier with the longer handle but drives just feel like well - nothing. In fact, I and my fellow players have noted that my serves are lacking pace relative to the Pursuit paddle. Honestly, the inexpensive Selkirk Latitude that I started my pickleball journey with three years ago feels much more lively and with greater "touch". I truly am disappointed because I felt like this would be my next generation paddle and allow me to improve my two handed backhand but it's not going to happen and this paddle is going bye bye.

@PickleballStudio Год назад

Because I haven't tested the Vatic enough yet. They also aren't identical. Under a microscope, the Vatic Pro Flash 16mm uses the old grit texture (like CRBN) while the SixZero is the finer/tighter pattern. In my play testing so far, they don't play identical. I've found the Vatic to be less stable and a little more springy. It's harder for me to control,. Just feels less solid overall. I need to do more in-depth testing to find out. But just based on the microscope alone they clearly aren't complete clones of each other. If they were, I would have mentioned it.

@ng7377 Год назад

The 16mm Vatic Pro Flash definitely plays a lot different for me. Honestly it plays the softest of all the thermoformed paddles I have used so far (Predelamination). For me the control is pretty good, but it seems to be lacking power and put away potential (I get more power from my old 16mm Hyperion), but maybe I got a defective 16mm Vatic Pro Flash.😮‍💨

I do have both the new flash 16&14mm and I do like them both. After your comments I just placed an order for DBD 16mm. God I hate your Chris! 🤣. Love your podcast with Will. Keep up the amazing work and YES you guys are much better than the other Pro podcasters. Falling asleep listening to them 😴😴
