Summary

The Six Zero Ruby 16mm is a hybrid-shaped paddle with a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core, known for balancing power and control. The Kevlar face material is less common than graphite or fiberglass. It weighs 8.3 oz and has a 5.5-inch grip. The 117 swing weight is in the medium range, indicating moderate maneuverability.

With a spin rating of 8.3/10 and a spin percentile of 92, the Ruby may offer above-average spin generation. Its drive speed and volley speed ratings are 6.4/10 and 5.0/10 respectively, suggesting moderate power and pop. The twist weight rating of 6.1/10 and percentile of 78 suggest decent stability on off-center hits.

The Ruby's specifications suggest it could be suitable for intermediate to advanced players seeking a balance of spin and control. The 16mm core thickness may enhance control, while the Kevlar face could provide a unique feel. Players prioritizing maximum power may find its drive and volley speed ratings less appealing. The medium swing weight may suit players who want a blend of maneuverability and power.
