Six Zero
A hybrid-shape raw carbon paddle that became the default 'just get this one' recommendation for players who want control, spin and a forgiving sweet spot at a fair price.
JOOLA
The elongated paddle that made 'power with spin' a mainstream category. Big plow-through, a long handle for two-handed backhands, and a textured carbon face, now at a lower list price as JOOLA's newer generations arrive.
Six Zero
Six Zero's aramid-faced paddle: a Kevlar weave instead of carbon on a thermoformed hybrid frame, aimed at players who want maximum control with spin.
