thermoformed paddle is the Kevlar®️ Fiber hitting surface. This material spans the aerodynamically flared 7.5 – 7.7" face The hybrid 16.3" paddle length While the Kevlar®️ hitting surface immediately caught our attention, the Ruby Kevlar Paddle from Six Zero boasts other impressive tech. Working with the hitting surface is a 16mm honeycomb polymer core with a foam-reinforced edgewall. This core provides cushion with every impact while adding a little pop for a smidge of power. The edgewall adds strength with every strike by upping plow-through ability and eating up pesky vibrations. Impressively, Six Zero didn’t overlook the 5.5" long handle and instead packed it with 3D Carbon Forged technology. This technology relies on extending the Kevlar®️ face and fusion edge technology all the way through the handle to limit vibrations for comfortable confidence with every shot.
