What's actually different
Generated from the brands' published specs. Nothing here comes from lab testing; see how we read specs.
Weight
The Six Zero Coral Pro Hybrid 16mm is 0.35 oz heavier: 8.15 oz against 7.8 oz. Static weight alone doesn't tell you how a paddle swings; swingweight does, when the brand publishes it.
Twistweight
The Six Zero Coral Pro Hybrid 16mm has the higher twistweight: 6.7 against 6.3. Higher twistweight resists twisting on off-center hits, so the Six Zero Coral Pro Hybrid 16mm should be the more forgiving of the two when you miss the middle.
Face and core
Face: T700 carbon fiber with 45-degree peel-ply texture (raw carbon) on the Franklin C45 Carbon Fiber Dynasty 16mm, Raw carbon fiber with Double Diamond Tough texture (raw carbon) on the Six Zero Coral Pro Hybrid 16mm. Core: PowerFlex polymer core with inner foam layer against Tectonic Core with ProPulsion foam.
Price
The Six Zero Coral Pro Hybrid 16mm costs $10 less right now: $220 at JustPaddles (checked Oct 20) against $230 at JustPaddles (checked Oct 20).
