New Ruby, First Kevlar surface paddle from Six Zero Pickleball

I think the Ruby is suitable for a broader range of players rather than catering to those seeking power, control, or spin exclusively because it offers a well-rounded combination of these aspects.

Furthermore, the Ruby comes at a really affordable price point ($199 as of my writing), especially when you consider the time and effort Six Zero’s Australian team invested in research and development. It’s worth noting that other new paddles on the market typically start at $250-$350.

I believe there’s room for improvement in the paddle, particularly by introducing an edgeless design to reduce swing weight and enhance hand speed. Perhaps a future version like the Ruby Infinity could explore these improvements.

Some articles and video reviews have suggested that the use of Kevlar might be more of a marketing strategy or hype. However, after playing with the Ruby for a few days and using it in a local tournament, it has become one of my favorite paddles. From my personal experience, I genuinely think it’s a fantastic paddle. If you are a player rated 3.0 or higher and you’re looking to improve your game by finding a paddle that offers a balance between control, power, and spin, the Ruby could be a great choice. View online.
