I always like my Selkirk paddle the best. But I wanted something different so I ordered the double black diamond 6.0 and the second day I used it in a tournament and took second place. If I have to order another one in a few years or sooner, I will get the exact same paddle.. everybody I play with ask me what paddle I’m using, and they absolutely love it when they put it in their hands
My control and power has improved. The paddle is very responsive.
Paddle is as advertised. I spent days watching online reviews of paddles and filled out several paddle fit surveys and multiple surveys this was at the top of the list. I am a beginner and wanted a paddle that would be a good choice for me to grow into an intermediate player and withstand the abuse of a new player. I feel like I have improved from the first day using the paddle with plenty of control but also having enough power to return the more advanced serves without spraying the ball everywhere. I couldn't be happier withs my choice.
I love my ‘DBD’. I've been playing since last year and I've tried several different paddles prior to this one. This is a very forgiving paddle, but still performs with plenty of power. My placement has improved dramatically. My hand speed is one of the better parts of my game and I like playing up at the net. So I wanted to take advantage of a lighter weight paddle to see if I could build on what I was doing. Honestly, it doesn't feel much lighter. I can't tell the difference in which is heavier when holding two paddles. I have noticed my hand speed seems to have increased as well. This paddle is the best price on the market for the quality after using discount ‘Alpha10’. I would recommend to anyone who wants to look for a new main paddle.
Really like this paddle for power and control. Truth be known, it probably a more advanced paddle than I am a player but this gives me room to grow into it.
