Six Zero Ruby Infinity Review: Control and Spin Mastery
The Six Zero Ruby Infinity has landed and it’s not just another paddle in the sea of pickleball paddles. This is a statement, a declaration of the pursuit of precision and spin mastery on the court. Building on the legacy of the original Ruby, the Infinity is a refined design with new features for players who want total control and ball manipulation.
Spin: The Key
The Infinity Ruby’s most impressive feature is its spin. This is due to the 100% aramid fiber face, a material known for its grip on the ball. Aramid, from DuPont Kevlar, is a high performance fiber for strength, durability and impact resistance. This means the paddle surface bites into the ball with ferocity, allowing you to put spin on every shot.
Drives become deception weapons, diving with sharp angles and unpredictable trajectories. Dinks turn into feather light drops that die in the kitchen, leaving opponents stranded. Resets, a point of weakness, become opportunities to regain control with deep, topspin shots that push opponents back. The Infinity Ruby lets you manipulate the ball flight with an artistry that can beat even the best players.
Control: The Finesse Game
The Infinity Ruby is not just about spin; it’s about using that spin for strategic advantage. This paddle is in the finesse game where subtlety and precision rule. Dinking becomes a strategic dance where you adjust the ball flight and speed to outplay your opponents.
Volleys are crisp and controlled, you can redirect hard driven shots with soft touch and pinpoint placement. The paddle’s stability and balance gives you confidence in making those finesse shots and allows you to dictate the pace of play and keep opponents guessing.
Weight and Balance: A Delicate Touch
Some initial reviews described the Infinity Ruby as “light and whippy” but a more detailed look reveals a paddle with a carefully tuned weight and balance. It’s solid in the hand, stable and controlled throughout the swing. The weight is even and balanced, smooth and controlled motion for power and precision.
This is not a paddle that relies on speed or raw power; it’s about deliberate and calculated movements that generate spin and placement. The Infinity Ruby is a strategic paddle that rewards finesse and ball control over brute force.
Aesthetics and Construction: Top Notch
The Infinity Ruby is beautiful. The edgeless design is modern and clean. The aramid fiber face with its texture and red color is elegant. The construction is perfect, Six Zero’s attention to detail and craftsmanship is on display. This is a paddle that performs exceptionally and looks and feels like a high end product.
Considerations:
- Power: While the Infinity Ruby has power, it’s not for players who drive the ball with maximum force. If you’re a power player you may want to look elsewhere.
- Limited Release: The Infinity Ruby is a one-time limited release paddle and will not be made again.
Overall:
The Six Zero Ruby Infinity is a control and spin machine. It’s for the player who appreciates the game and wants to improve their finesse and strategic play. Not for power hitters but for the skilled player who wants to spin, control and dominate.
Ideal for:
Intermediate to advanced players who control, spin and play strategically. If you want to improve your touch, play with precision and dominate with finesse.
