Another awesome video man. I love how you filmed the gameplay portion in an ice rink;) Keep up the great work!

This was the best video you’ve produced on this channel to-date.

Great review. I own both, and alternate play between the two.Your review said everything I've been thinking.
Thanks. New subscriber.

[Mr.DJones]

Thank you for your time and posting. :)

Great review. I currently play with the DBD and it's darned near perfect, for me. It doesn't have the "ball sinking in" feel, that I love and which makes it easier, for me, to generate more spin. Sounds to me like the Ruby is even closer to perfection, and will be my next paddle, when the DBD wears out. Thanks!

Could you test Gearbox Pro Control? And compare it to the Gearbox Pro Power. Thank you!

[SVladimirjb]

Dammit! I didn't want another paddle but after watching this video I now want the RUBY 🤦🏾. Great content, thanks for sharing

Great review. Your review is on point. However, the Ruby I have doesn’t have near as much pop as the DBD. Feels really plush with good power on regular strokes.

Your explanation is very well done. I would you to how compare the SIxzero Ruby to the Volair Mach II Forza ? Thanks Steven

[JorgeMorales-dopr]

Great review Luca, like always. Any comments about Ruby vs apes pro line S. I would like to hear what you think

[Loren-eeri]

I play with the Ruby. That sinking in is a good description. I always told people it felt "squishy" when I first got it. I went from crbn 1x so at first the Ruby was extremely different for me but the reason I switched was because the 1x was too powerful. My serves and drives were awesome but my easy putaways were going out and the recoil in handbattles was hard to control. I got used to the Ruby and I love it now. I have considered getting the DBD just to see the difference but this video pretty much made me just want to buy another Ruby. My balls were alot slower but the dip was very steep and seemed to give opponents a hard time. I always wished I could've played myself with the Ruby just to see why people struggle with its shots. I can take really low dinks and speed them up a foot off the ground and split the ball right down the middle and have confidence it will drop in.

That was a fantastic comparison. You are a fantastic reviewer. However I was more memorized of your play on that wet court. With that slipping and sliding you got me thinking that perhaps Pickelball could become a winter sport and we could play it on ice with skates .

How’s the paddle face holding up now? Still has the grippy texture? Also a lot of reviews don’t really talk about how “dirty” the face gets and not to use a eraser on it. Your thoughts on that?

[miked]

Great work as always Luca. I went to order the Ruby from your site but I see it's sold out, awaiting the next shipment. Would you have a rough idea on when you think you'll expect it?? Weeks, months?? Thx

[valleyforge-]

Like others have said, I have both and lov’m. I also go back and forth, though I am l am leaning toward the DBD a little.

[bighank]

You glossed over it, but the difference in swing weight made the Ruby a bit more head heavy, and thus a bit slower in hands battles at the net.

[kevLin]

Great review. Any recommendation on something similar to DBD but more power? Preferably under $200 if possible

[iamrishio]

Between the two, I can’t get over the fact that the Ruby looks a lot nicer.

[nadzoll]

It is more head heavy than the DBD…I have both paddles, and us gals who like a light swing weight for hand battles notice this. I agree with you on all your other details.

[Viper-MotoVlogger]

I have both paddles and they are indeed phenomenal. But, I do find the Rudy a little poppier.
