Excellent paddle, good power to go along with my spins.
All in all, I rate this paddle a 9.9. Always must have room for improvement or the next generation.
I'm a month almost 2 into playing pickleball. I went from a defensive paddle to this and boy, what a difference! Took a couple weeks to adjust (playing once a day) but once you do, you'll love it. I play with mid 3 to 4.0 players now and can hold my own! This paddle does everything! Short dinks in the kitchen, swallows a lot of hard shots and spin, and even has good power from afar! Amazing all around paddle! Totally recommend the thickest one for more control!
Defenetly as advertíced. It has really improve my game. As a new player in this sport I've try several paddles and by far this is a great choice.
I was very fortunate to receive my paddle as a gift from my family. I have found that my control and top spin , and in fact all aspects of my game have improved to the extent that I’m thoroughly enjoying my new paddle which has now given me more confidence. I love it!!
I’m super happy with the paddle. It’s working very well!
Love the spin. Power is better than I thought. The control on this paddle has helped my resets. Very pleased.
I purchased the Double Black Diamond Control 6.0 for my wife who is a 3.5 level player. She immediately noticed the impressive increase in power over her everyday paddle (a good quality name brand). She has been deadly with drop shots and lobs that stay inbounds but now she added a deadly drive to her arsenal. She has also seen improvement in topspin, which makes her 'patented' lob even more accurate. I tried the paddle myself but couldn't get past the drop off of the top corners, so while the paddle isn't for everyone, my wife is thrilled to have leveled up with it.
Purchased the double black diamond after two years using an average paddle. Amazing feel and control with plenty of power when needed. Great paddle! Should have done this sooner.
The Double Black Diamond has outstanding maneuverability and responsiveness. I noticed a remarkable improvement in my shots’ accuracy and spin, giving me an edge over opponents during intense matches. My hands battle also fast. Additionally, the paddle’s durability is commendable, as it has withstood rigorous use without showing any signs of wear and tear. This longevity ensures that the paddle remains reliable and consistent, making it a wise investment for serious pickleball enthusiasts. It’s the best price on the market for the quality after using discount (Alpha10). I bought another one as a backup and I highly recommend to anyone who wants to improve their game.
DBD 16 mm paddle feels solid and well made with a large sweet spot. Grip is comfortable and tacky, handle length is good. More pop than my Joola Vision and gritty surface provides excellent control. In just a few weeks my play has already improved.
