Summary

The Six Zero Ruby 14mm is a hybrid-shaped paddle with a 14mm polypropylene honeycomb core, known for balancing power and control. The Kevlar face material is less common than graphite or fiberglass. Weighing 8.2 oz, it falls within a midweight range. Its 115 swing weight is considered medium, potentially offering moderate power without sacrificing maneuverability. The 5.5-inch grip length is standard.

With a spin rating of 7.9/10 and a spin percentile of 80.7%, the Ruby may offer above-average spin potential. Its drive speed rating of 7.2/10 and volley speed rating of 7.8/10, along with power and pop percentiles of 68.3% and 90.7% respectively, suggest potential strengths in both driving and volleying. The twist weight rating of 5.6/10 and percentile of 66.7% indicate moderate torsional stability.

This paddle might be suitable for intermediate to advanced players seeking a blend of power, control, and spin. The lighter weight could benefit players prioritizing quick hands and maneuverability. The 14mm core may provide a balance between power and control, while the Kevlar face might offer unique playing characteristics compared to more traditional materials. However, players accustomed to graphite or fiberglass faces may experience a different feel.
