1234
Aug 16, 2026 · $220 · Full foam (Gen 4) Boulder Opal Sits between the Coral and the Black Opal: powerful but approachable, with more dwell. A $300 figure in circulation is an Australian-dollar price. USA Pickleball: approved · UPA-A: approved
1234
Jun 2026 · $220 · Full foam (Gen 4) Coral Pro More spin, and it lasts: no measurable loss in John Kew's wear test. An easy recommendation unless you need USAP approval. Six Zero now sells one Coral per rulebook. USA Pickleball: not on the list · UPA-A: approved
12
Nov 27, 2025 · $200 · Full foam (Gen 4) Coral Positioned as the successor to the Double Black Diamond. Pickleball Effect called it a clear and manageable step up in offense and one of the best all-court paddles available, with the elongated the weakest of the three shapes. Six Zero says it won Pickleball Effect's all-court paddle of the year and that John Kew named Diamond Tough the paddle innovation of the year. USA Pickleball: not confirmed here · UPA-A: approved
123
Oct 19, 2025 · $250 · Full foam (Gen 4) Black Opal Six Zero's first new paddle in almost two years, pre-released at a Kuala Lumpur venue before the Oct 19 global launch. Pickleball Effect called it one of the hardest-hitting paddles he had tested, dense and springy with an average sweet spot, and best for advanced aggressive players; Pickleheads found the 14mm core stiffer than 16mm foam rivals. It introduced the Diamond Tough surface that the Ruby Pro and Coral also use. USA Pickleball: not confirmed here · UPA-A: not confirmed here
12
Oct 2025 · $225 · Polymer honeycomb Ruby Pro 14mm An upgrade of the Ruby that keeps a polymer honeycomb core while the rest of the 2025 field moved to foam. Pickleball Globe called it one of the most exciting Gen 2 paddles of the year, plush for a 14mm with very high spin. Its role in 2025 was as a second carrier for the Diamond Tough grit. USA Pickleball: approved · UPA-A: not confirmed here
12
Jan 2024 · $220 · Honeycomb + foam (Gen 3) Infinity Edgeless Double Black Diamond Control Pickleheads scored it a perfect 5.0 and called it a favorite of 2024, citing 9/10 power, 9.5/10 control and 10/10 spin. It mattered because it put Six Zero's best-selling DBD recipe into the edgeless format that 2024 buyers wanted. Launch timing is only loosely pinned: retail listings appear by mid-January 2024.
