Double Black Diamond Control 16mm: reviews and opinions
In Pickleball Effect's review it weighs about 8 oz, has a moderate swing weight (115) and a high twist weight (6.67): it is stable and very forgiving, especially near the throat. It gives a little more power than classic 16 mm raw carbon paddles, with high spin. The feel is crisp and unusual and takes time to adjust to; the reviewer suggests a little lead tape to soften it. It comes in one shape and one weight only.
