6.0 Infinity Black Diamond - Full Pickleball Paddle Review

[@frankparisi2433]

Really nice video. Just got my ibd today, so I haven't tried it yet. I had a dbd. Great paddle too. I was surprised that the Infinity paddle, imho, isnt a true edgless like the Luxx, or Slk Omega. Right now my go to paddle is the Neonic Flow which is a really nice all court paddle. Had a Luxx too but returned it. Very head heavybl and lacked power.

Could the lead tape on the bottom corners help w/ the resets in the transition zone?

[@robertodelbusto6544]

Great in depth review!

[@paulelkins425]

Great review of another tempting offer from 6.0. Regarding the twistweight, it seems easily remedied with some lead tape at the bottom corners. That should provide a significant increase in stability with a minimal incease in swingweight.

[@bk_pickleball]

Precisely what I did, if you look REAL close on my game footage, you'll see a couple strips on each side at the bottom of the face. It's not perfect, but it definitely helps!

[@RichM3215]

So the tape would be at the bottom corners, and how far up the side did you go? Did you go from the corners down to the grip? Thanks.

Thank you for your time and posting. I'm thinking of this or Zane's ProXR.

[@bk_pickleball]

The Zane Signature has a 6 inch handle, so if you're looking for a paddle with extra reach, the ProXR is a fantastic option. They do have a Standard version as well, but the SixZero feels better on court than the ProXR Standard in my opinion.

BK, I like your videos on six zero paddles, I play with with DBD 16mm, missing the power of the Joola Gen 3 paddle i was playing with before the ban, according to the attached chart from six zero the Black Infinity Diamond is a better paddle with power, pop, spin and not bad on control which from six zero chart just one below the BDI, the reason for the email, is I am looking for more spin and Power and like control over all and like the six zero line up, do you recommend getting the BDI or keep using the DBD 16mm?

great review

[@bk_pickleball]

Thank you so much!! Appreciate all the support, been putting a lot of work into it!

[@iKumala]

great review. That is a bit disappointing on the twist weight, however that swing weight somewhat makes up for it. Seems to be more suited to an advanced player.

[@bk_pickleball]

Definitely geared more towards an advanced power player that likes to play a very offensive style of game!

[@RHPDaddy]

Is this the pre-production version of the infinity black diamond? John Kew stated they made modifications between pre-production and the production models. Something about the perimeter weighting.

[@its_maxbro]

I just got one of these last week! I LOVE it. But I have a question about cleaning. I had a nice eraser for my old DBD 14mm but that's raw carbon face. This fiberglass face is different and I'm wondering if I can use paddle cleaning eraser on it? or if i should clean it some other way.

[@chums101]

What paddle would you recommend for singles where plays at the net are not as frequent?

[@AllHijinksNoHighDinks]

Power = big swing (drive). Pop = short swing (punch volley). All that language about a dead ball is confusing, because you can drive a ball that's moving fast.

[@johnlheibel5733]

Great review. I have the 14mm DBD but would like a better swing weight. Have you looked at the DBD Infinity? How does this compare to the DBD Infinity?

[@bk_pickleball]

Honestly, I'm not a huge fan of the Infinity DBD, it's a very hard paddle to play with because it doesn't really stand out in any aspect of the game. I think the Infinity BD is much better and would be a better alternative to the 14mm DBD. You would have to add some weight to the face to negate the twist weight issues, but it's a much closer comparison to the 14mm DBD.

[@robedwards6926]

Is this the best playing 6.0 paddle at the net in your opinion? The swingweight is super low.

[@bk_pickleball]

Definitely the best playing 6.0 paddle at the net! Fantastic in hands battles, low balance point makes it comfortable to dink and the counter pop is great to put balls away!

[@garygorgo3600]

Which do you prefer, Ruby or this paddle?

[@bk_pickleball]

There are aspects I like about both, definitely the Infinity BD for a power game, and the Ruby for a more control game. Overall, I do believe the Ruby is a better paddle for most players.

[@mlee9049]

Personally, I don't consider it a power paddle. It doesn't really excel at deep/strong serves and baseline drives. It definitely excels at or close to the net.

[@SultanKhan66]

Yeah 220 dollars for a paddle is a little ridiculous. Nice they threw you one for free yes? Maybe I'll start a pickleball channel get more than 2 thousand subscribers and get all my shit for free too.

[@konnmehameha]

He's just reviewing it so people can know what it plays like. He also recommended some cheaper in the video. No reason to be so negative lol. There is a 99$ paddle that you should get if you care about price. The vatic pro line. I'm sure this guy has a review on it.

[@bk_pickleball]

Haha, I wish they'd send me it for free! I paid for it just so I can give you guys a review before you pay for it too, I don't have enough clout for free stuff yet lol.

[@SultanKhan66]

@@bk_pickleball My apologies.

[@pjpj2639]

Interesting…kews review is a bit different he says less power great pop and spin……thought the sweet spot was better than the twist rate suggested……I am tempted to get it really for the pop and added hand speed as that is where games are won and lost…..the difficulty with resets is troubling….off the bounce….
