Six Zero Ruby Review | Pro Line Energy S vs DBD vs Ruby

[@duanehensley8835]

You have to wait for the Ruby to go through a break in period before you can really appreciate how great this paddle really is. Now that my Ruby is broken in after 4 or 5 sessions of hours of play each time, the paddle plays so different than when it was brand new. What I have noticed the most is the plushness of this paddle emerged and now it seemingly has all aspects of a near perfect paddle. Control is great due to the plushness and spin qualities; the power has ramped up somehow as well and has more of a trampolene effect, and this paddle has no discernable dead spots. In other words, the sweet spot is insane on this paddle. This paddle is also a resetting machine. If I can get the paddle on the ball that ball will clear the net 90% of the time and in a controllable fasion. I think Chris needs to continue to break the paddle in and then do another reveiw. I have a feeling his opinion about it will change.

[@sesamesprinkles]

Hows the spin after the break in period? Have you felt smoothing as well as minor loss in spin?

[@duanehensley8835]

@@sesamesprinkles Spin seems the same so far after a couple of months. I don't notice a difference.

[@johnkewpickleball]

Dang, Chris - you had me at 0:17 with all the slick production lighting and smoke. Made me want to make an impulse purchase right then, and I already own two!🤣

[@PickleballStudio]

Hahaha! Thanks John!!

[@jimwaldemarsen472]

Chris great review. I for one have been waiting for this, and to have you compare all three together was epic. You are truly a rock star in the paddle business. People really wait to hear your opinion on the reviews. Not bad for a kid from Minny. As a fellow Minnesotan I'm proud of the niche you've carved out for yourself. Keep up the great work. Don't stand pat. Keep trying to reinvent yourself all the time to stay ahead of the game. So fun to see guys making a career out of this doing something other than being a player. Well not yet anyway right!!!

[@PTL4179]

Top notch production. Excellent graphics and presentation making the contents easier to consume. Currently is playing with DBD and the Ruby just arrived, this weekend will fun.

[@stephenhester24]

Which do you like better?

[@RichardsWorld]

The DBD was ahead of it's time. It is still on the top of the list.

[@xXSoccerAmazeXx]

Agree with ya on this one. I use the dbd and love it. I just got in the Ruby but will ship it back as it’s not worth the cost of using another paddle when my dbd is the jack of all trades

[@thehiddenfamily]

I was okay with it. Coming from tennis it just didn’t give me the substantial feeling I was hoping for. The DBD feels almost hollow or crisp and it’s just not for me. Good paddle though

[@xXSoccerAmazeXx]

@@thehiddenfamily for sure it’s all personal preference. I eventually got tired of the weight of the paddle and stability because I really like to shape my shots. But lead tape can do wonders to a paddle. Also the length of the handle I wish was longer after playing with it a while was longer

[@DogBehaviorSolutions]

Agreed. I’ve tried different kinds, but I always come back to my DBD. Currently playing with the Ruby and it feels like if the BD and the DBD had a baby.

[@rvilla1975]

In my opinion this review is not accurate. The Ruby is an upgrade in all areas over the DBD in my opinion. Ball seems to go where you want it. Less work in getting the ball where you want it to go. Unfortunately, with the “barely better than DBD reviews” caused me to not purchase when available. The Ruby is awesome, and will be purchasing when it’s available. I currently play with the DBD.

[@AlexanderMacDonald-j5v]

Great Review! Exactly, what I needed to know. Appreciate the realness and honesty!!!

[@pickleballeffect]

Appreciate your thoughts on Kevlar. I’m glad I’m not the only one that sees it the same way.

[@ThePickleballPirates]

Thats what i thought as well, they "claim" it will last longer but lets see after 100 hours of use.

[@pickleballeffect]

@@ThePickleballPiratesyes, that too, but I meant like that Kevlar isn’t the next best big thing in paddle innovation and to be careful of the hype.

[@jonhidey2818]

I think I got the freak paddle. My Ruby came stock at 8.13oz. After overgrip and edge guard it weighed in at 8.54oz. Played really good and don’t think I need to add lead. That being said I love my dbd. It’s my go to paddle. Honestly beside a touch more power and the feel I could easily grab either paddle and play the same game. Wanna say thanks Chris for doing what you do. You tell it like it is unlike a lot of others who are obviously in the pockets of manufacturers. Keep it up bro!!!

[@MKrocket91]

I’ve been playing with PLES for a few weeks and very satisfied. I play a lot of doubles with a focus on control and dinks and it’s performed very well. Have had no issue putting the ball away with power

[@yamadawg619]

Comparing the Ruby to the DBD and relating it to the iPhone being 6 and 6s was genius. Makes total sense when putting it that way.

[@daleyoung3265]

I think Chris has provided a very balanced review. The Ruby is a follow on option to the DBD base model. Kevlar will in theory be a longer lasting abrasion resistant material compared to carbon. The peel ply texture will wear at the same rate, though the underlying kevlar fabric with 3K twill has its own base texture and should provide a highly durable face plate.

[@cheevang9806]

Update on my Ruby. Played maybe less than 10 hrs and there are abrasions on the face. Scratch marks that you can see ripped fibers. Definitely no impressed especially with all the kevlar hype about durability

[@kevinwill8542]

my wife just got the pro line energy...i got dbd...her paddle puts super spin,specially on backhand

[@Jinxman729]

@pickleball studio Love your videos! I wish you would post rec games (maybe a separate channel?). I would totally watch them!

[@Vivi-by1bu]

Thank you for the review! I love my dbd but maybe in the future I'll look to the Ruby 👀

[@jeffleonard9983]

Just got mine today in 🇨🇦. Looking forward to trying it. I own the other two as well and my #1 so far is the DBD. Loved watching the rec play (especially the last clip). Wish you would put out a best of three video of those sometimes. Cheers! Keep up the good work.

[@rteitel1974]

Just about to use my Pro Line Energy S for the first time today...wish me luck!

[@tristanwilhelm9600]

I ordered on release day. Coming from volair and bread n butter filth , I immediately noticed it was noticeably less powerful, and also lacked pop. I don’t have a camera to do spin tests, but using the same techniques for my slice serve, I could easily tell my other paddles got more spin. This may be great for some people, but it was definitely not for me and I, sold it after two days

[@49pickles]

How do you like the Bread and Butter?

[@ronbroberg3022]

Great review. Was going to buy the DBD and then heard about the Ruby. After your review, Im buying the DBD tomorrow. I have played with the DBD a couple of hours and really liked it. Done deal now.

[@privatejoe4029]

Ive played the Black Diamond, DBD, and Gearbox and the Ruby IS A Game Changer for me ! Greatest balanced combination of Power and Control and Sweet Spot I've ever experienced...

[@kevinmontgomery1054]

Nailed it. Those 3 paddles were exactly what I was debating between.

[@danfraser107]

Excellent review! Thanks!! I have a Double Black Diamond and I need to replace it soon. I am considering buying another Double Black or a Ruby. Given their similarity, and my comfort with the Double Black Diamond, I am inclined to stick with the same model. But......my curiosity may get the better of me.

[@LeanneSchultz-x3y]

I used a Ruby for two months. Found myself going back to the DBD. It's a masterpiece. Sold the Ruby. Didn't like it as much on resets and dinks, and prefer the topspin rolls I get with the DBD

[@teenasuzuki2514]

ALOHA❣️Happy holidays PBSTUDIO 🎅🏻🎄

[@bruce3412]

Hi, great review, and i was waiting for your review. I have also watched other videos on the Ruby, but I do value everyone's opinion. Seeing as though the ruby and dbd i guess for me now is the longevity between the ruby and dbd.

[@brianbanks3044]

after using the Ruby since it came out, it is my everyday paddle even after trying the Gear Box pro, the Mark Kinetic Kevlar paddle and even went back to try out my 14mm DBD and the Ruby is the CLEAR winner....no doubt about it...power, pop, control and spin are the best for my game...I didn't add any weight and use it stock all the time....I now have 4 in my rotation as the spin does decrease after months of use so now i get a gradual decrease using all 4 in rotation and there won't be much variation when switching from each paddle

[@86309]

the concept of peel ply has to be taught as most don't seem to know what really is, like you pull the paddle out of the vacuums bag mold and actually peel the fabric off the face of the paddle leaving the negative imprint in the resin on the surface. I do feel the next advancements in paddle tech will be this peel ply application and the ability to use more advanced last layer resin for the peel ply fabric. to imprint upon.

[@petercalomeris7971]

@PickleballStudio i played with my Ruby today and the face kept getting dirt on it that my DBD never did. Obviously the texture is different. How can i lightly clean it between points without rubbing off the texture? By the way i bought my DBD after your review. I felt like my dbd after 6 months had a dead spot at the tip of the paddle. It didn't bother me that much since most paddles don't have that big a sweet spot anyway. 6 zero was nice enough to give me a 50% off on my new paddle even though I was out of warrenty.

[@hunter_greene]

In my experience with the Ruby over the last month, it feels so incredibly balanced compared to other premium paddles. It’s a true all court paddle. Everyone who has demoed mine has loved it and I’ve sold 4-5. That said, I still use my DBD or Infinity DBD when playing with indoor balls and I use my JMV BD when playing with outdoor balls.

[@jnicoara11]

So many words to say you don't use your Ruby 😢

[@markfcal]

Great review as always!

[@IKabobI]

Good video! You did misspell “stiffer” at 3:51.

[@PickleballStudio]

Wouldn't be a PBSTUDIO video without a typo in a graphic. 😂

[@cwarner5909]

I really hope to see a 14mm hybrid shape with the kevlar top plate. I have the PLE-S with a little lead at the throat and it plays well but I think a 14mm would be a real winner.

[@cheevang9806]

Good stuff Chris! Some of these other reviewers need to go back and watch your video about how the peel ply, not carbon fiber or kevlar gives texture and is what wears out.

[@wafarris]

Do you have the title of that video or a link?

[@kyebean]

I'd love to see reviews of Hyperion C2 14mm and Electrum Stealth, thanks!

[@lesterma1608]

Grit is not the only factor for amount of spin, dwell time from core also effects spin.

[@JflipJedi]

Hey Chris! I have a suggestion for the spreadsheet. I run a decently sized pickleball group so I’m constantly using your spreadsheet to recommend paddles to people that are trying to change or upgrade their paddle. One thing that I would really love is a power/ control rating. You could do it on a 1-10 scale. So a “1” would be full control (project 003) and a “10” would be full power (Gearbox Pro Power). Then anything near the middle would just indicated how all court paddles lean. Or maybe having two separate ratings. One for power and one for control. Anyway, thanks for all you do! I really appreciate what you’ve already done with the spreadsheet. Just wanted to throw an idea out that might help myself and others.

[@bobbydigital7482]

When are they putting the grittier texture on the dbd???

[@logical333]

I returned the Ruby. Hit balls with it and noticed it doesn't have the nice dense plusher feel of the DBD. The Ruby felt stiffer and more hollow than my DBD. I ordered another DBD :) My Ruby came in at 8.1 oz. I added .2 oz and it still didn't feel as solid as much DBD. The DBD is just an awesome paddle.

[@susanheck8371]

Been waiting for your review as I was itching to buy the ruby. But I’m very happy with my 14mm DBD and am now convinced it’s not worth the purchase. Also almost bought the Engage Pro EX, but upon trying it out felt it was also close in performance to my DBD with a little less pop.

[@brianbanks3044]

since I have using the DBD 14mm since February, I think this will be a good test to see if the paddle is the real deal....the Gearbox Pro was too powerful for me so this new Kevlar material vs the Carbon fiber will be a real head to head test..I just wish it was available in the 14 mm so it was apple to apples comparison

[@ScottsdaleMark]

Loving my Ruby, but i have noticed that the grit texture is different on each side. I spoke with another Ruby owner who has high grit on both sides, but his buddies Ruby has almost no grit to the touch.

[@mrbojangles4155]

i thought the "peel-ply" texture was itself the kevlar weave, not any underneath layer.

[@MrSupasonics]

Thanks for review. MUVN-16H from Gruvn just got USAP pass, could you review several MUVN-16H (and other MUVNs if possible)? Looks like power paddle but not sure.

[@sfloam524]

Which is most similar to the Vatic Pro Prism Flash 16 MM (Purple)?

[@Mcancha]

My ruby core is crushed/broken after 5 weeks of use so Kevlar and revised manufacturing hasn’t solved the issue. This is likely more common when it is cold…

[@pharm30]

I love the ruby 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@Christopher-m9s]

hey chris, great work as always but i found myself disagree with somethings u stated here. i would like to say that i am 3-zero at best so... =P also, mr olsen also had significantly more time w the three paddles. i've had a very limited amount of time with all three paddles referenced here (5 hrs w the ruby, and 2 games with the other two), but from my three zero brain i would put the control and spin order 1)ruby 2)energy s 3)DBD-pro weighted version. the kevlar paddles seemed to 'grab' or 'hold' the ball milliseconds longer and had a 'tossing' feeling while the DBD was more of a bouncing off feel. for pop, 1)DBD 2)energy s 3)ruby - although the ruby was more gritty (and newer), and could b y it had less pop. power 1)ruby 2)energy s 3)DBD - i normally never get a 'whoa' reaction but i got a few w the ruby. drives felt similar with ruby n energy s. didnt feel too much power off the DBD, felt a lot like my nova r1 before i added lead to it. cant really speak on hand speed n sweet spot cuz my coordination is sh*t. def need to work on nvz net play and paddle control/hold. i agree with your iphone example, the ruby is a very nice iterative upgrade that i think would benefit lower lvl player vs more experienced. well theres my 3.0 2 cents. great work as always and love watching ur vids. sad ur taking a break but u deserve it!! on a side note i had the pleasure to run into pickleball will yesterday at a local court, was super nervous but got a selfie haha, made my day. wish a couldve hit some balls with him but i had to run.

[@tatecox9370]

Would love to see you do a review on the Holbrook Power Pro! Been using it for a week and it’s so good

[@erinsmith8702]

lol

[@jasonwalker1959]

I've had dbd for a bit and just played my Ruby for the first time yesterday. I agree with everything said here, especially the thoughts around the Ruby being "Plush" while the dbd "stiffer". I think if you like your dbd and are thinking of getting a new paddle due to wear, you may as well get the Ruby just in case the "kevlar lasts longer..." pans out.

[@RichM3215]

Chris, please do a review on the new 6.0 Diamond Infinity.

[@quy-le]

How does the B&B Loco compare to these paddles?

[@EricShapiro-wx5ju]

I believe John Kew compares them in his Loco review. Very similar with an edge to control on the Loco if I remember correctly.

[@richardb7093]

The iPhone comparison was weak. The question not answered was are the Kevlar claims accurate? If they’re accurate then it is a game changer.

[@privatejoe4029]

Agreed ! This paddle has been a game changer for me, best combination of Power, Control and Sweet Spot ever experienced...

[@jerrywilliams8950]

Have you heard any info on if there will be a 14mm ruby in the future? I like a lighter paddle.

[@andruu2645]

I feel Kevlar is really high quality compared to some Selkirk in terms of keeping its Grit, where my Ruby's grit hasn't changed in 6 months the grit on a selkirk wears off in 2 weeks

[@airwalkmike]

I love my Selkirk halo control.. thoughts on a switch to ruby?

[@yamigaruza1159]

Any cleaning recommendations for the Ruby?

[@erinsmith8702]

I think the best thing about Kevlar is the shock absorption. I have shoulder issues, and have not been able to afford a Ruby yet, but I've been playing with a couple second-hand Apes Proline Energy and Proline Energy S. I do have shoulder pain after playing because of the relatively high swing weight, BUT the pain does not last into the next day as it does with other carbon fiber, thermoformed, high swing weight paddles.

[@rshappy123]

Do you, use Edge tape around the entire paddle or just the top half and some to cover the lead tape

[@CyberSonic157]

0:44 I thought the average weight was 8.2 oz and the average swing weight was 117 according to the 6.0 website.

[@scottpriske6793]

Got mine 2 days ago. 8.2 oz on the dot

[@PickleballStudio]

Swing weights always vary because of the weight you get. Mine were 118 and 119.

[@nadzoll]

Coming from someone who is only hitting on a backboard currently, I feel the Ruby grabs the ball better for topspin. My DBD doesn't beat it in this regard.

[@gregs69rs]

I saw my first Ruby "in the wild" today and the guy let me hit it a bit. One thing that surprised me is that the face looked like it had some wear already. Sort of like a pick on a sweater. The color looked deeper red in a few spots as well. Have you seen any wear on yours yet?

[@rshappy123]

So for all you reviewers who reviewed the Ruby and claimed the pop was lacking put lead strips 10, 2,7,5 and 4,8. It's a total beast, with massive pop and a soft touch.

[@SEANRMZ]

still loving my DBD. I am just curious on my DBD surface fade.Chris, could you do an all around performance update on the DBD after a year of use? thanks sean fr: Montreal

[@elmersonreyes6052]

Another great video review Chis. Question, I don’t own a DBD paddle but I am planning to get one soon so should I get a Ruby instead?

[@phoenixeasyrider6026]

How is spin determined? Great review comparisons, I received my Ruby a week ago and have maybe 3 hours of play. This paddle is a big change from my Head pro gravity, but I already appreciate the increase in control, especially on finesse shots. The paddle is also more stable in my hand. When I serve hard the ball doesn't travel as deep into the court (spinnier paddle?). But most of all I love the way it looks!

[@mike_ikes3427]

From what I have seen, most paddle reviewers draw a spot on a ball, hit it with the most topspin they can, and measure the rpm from a large number of trials and averaging them out. I may be wrong but this is what I have seen.

[@peterjstrassberger6008]

I have a Pro Line Energy S. Is the Ruby a step up …should I buy ? Thanks for the excellent compare.

[@jeffreyaddison9120]

Been playing with the single Black Diamond and just purchased the Ruby. First impressions of the differences is that it does appear to provide more spin, similar power and better control than the SBD. I weight my paddles to approx. 9.5 ounces and did not notice much difference in power, maneuverability, or hand speed. I feel it was worth the upgrade.

[@Syndrome88]

U weight ur paddles to 9.5?

[@jeffreyaddison9120]

Yes. Took a step back a couple of years ago and analyzed most of my misses on dinks and third shots. Most frequent error was leaving them short. Added weight to paddle and it reduced the problem. Have been playing with 9.5 ounce paddles ever since. Hand speed is still one of best parts of game.

[@mlee9049]

Anyone here like the Gearbox pro? I played with it and wasn't very impressed. It's hard to put shape on the ball. And the spin seems average. Curious to know what others think.

[@PKB-AG]

Just FYI - John Kew had the DBD and the Proline Energy S in his year end review, both were in top 3 for "all court" category. It's good the quality is there if the prices remain around the average of 180.00. Chris said "subtle differences" so to me, where are the differences going to show? A: Only at the highest levels of play. Also - proline energy S spin stat confirmed - Chris was just having an off day measuring spin (LOL JK) Chris - Nice dinks in the B-roll.

There seems to be little reason to not make a good paddle now. We know the materials that work, how to do weight distribution for enhanced sweet spots and power and we know people want access to decent spin. For now we seem to be in refinement territory. I’m curios to see what 2024 brings.

As to durability, I’ve never heard of any law-enforcement or military personnel wearing a raw carbon fiber vest for body armor. On the issue of toughness, I think I’m going to go with Kevlar.

[@Jinxman729]

Well it takes 20-50 layers of kevlar to stop a bullet, first of all... Ruby is... 2 layers? Part of the reason law enforcement doesn't use carbon fiber armor is because it is MORE EXPENSIVE. However, apparently carbon fiber body armor is good because it is lighter than kevlar.

[@Joshisjanky]

How much more different is the Ruby vs Pro line energy power wise?

I tried to get a refund or replacement for my Ruby due to manufacturing defect. 6.0 refused unless it was core crushed, which it was as not. So their 12 months manufacturing defect warranty is a joke. They even acknowledged to me that it sounded hollow and was hitting weakly but unless i could prove core crushing they would not honor the warranty. I bought it directly from them, so no issue proving proof of purchase, they just refused my claim.
