Overview

The Black Opal is Six Zero's most technically ambitious paddle — built with a G4 aerospace solid foam core that floats inside a Carbon Lite frame, with a Diamond Tough face that holds its spin texture deep into the paddle's lifespan. The 14 mm build keeps hand speed high at the kitchen while the engineering behind the core transfers energy more efficiently than a standard polymer honeycomb. This is a paddle for serious players who've tried the Double Black Diamond and want more.

Highlights

  • G4 aerospace solid foam core — a floating design that transfers energy more efficiently than honeycomb for cleaner, more explosive contact
  • Diamond Tough carbon face — 2,200+ RPM spin with durability rated well beyond standard raw carbon
  • Carbon Lite frame — a lightweight structural shell keeps the swing weight manageable at 114
  • 14 mm thickness, feels like 16 mm — combines the speed of a thin paddle with the stability of a thicker one
