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.
Franklin
Franklin's flagship carbon paddle: a T700 face with an angled peel-ply texture over a foam-perimeter polymer core, with a long handle and a published swingweight.
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.
