Reviewing the Sapphire: Is This the Best $140 Paddle?

We’ve come to expect great things from 6.0, and they’ve done it again with the Sapphire paddle. Known for their quality materials and innovative paddle designs, 6.0 delivers an affordable paddle without sacrificing performance. At just $140 (and only $126 with our exclusive code), this paddle offers top-notch features you'd expect from higher-priced models.

The Sapphire is a 13 mm paddle with a longer 5 1/2-inch handle, making it ideal for two-handed backhands. With its thermally formed foam-injected walls and other high-end features, this paddle rivals paddles priced much higher. But what sets it apart? The 13 mm core provides additional power, although like any thinner paddle, you lose some stability compared to a 16 mm paddle. But thanks to the construction, including foam-injected walls, you get the best of both worlds—power and control.

We dive into a side-by-side comparison with the Double Black Diamond, breaking down the similarities and differences. The Sapphire’s straight edges and slightly more vertical neck give it a unique feel that’s perfect for those looking for a comfortable two-handed backhand paddle. You’ll also love how controllable the Sapphire is, especially in those intense dink battles where precision is key.

Weighing in at the high 7s, with a 4 1/4-inch grip, this paddle is lightweight and highly maneuverable at the net. It offers great pop and the ability to whip the paddle around for quick reaction plays. Add a little weight, like I did, and you’ll notice the increased stability without losing that light, agile feel.

Whether you’re new to pickleball or just looking to upgrade your paddle, the Sapphire is a fantastic option. And don’t forget to use our code for 10% off your purchase, bringing this premium paddle down to just $126. If you’re a fan of the 60 brand, or if you’re looking for a paddle that delivers a great balance of power and control, this could be the perfect fit for your game.

Thanks again to 60 for providing us with this paddle to review, and thanks to all of you who support the channel by using our code. It helps us keep bringing you honest, in-depth reviews to help you make the best paddle purchasing decisions.
