What is the difference between the Black Diamond Power and the Double Black Diamond Control?
Both paddles are thermoformed with our (World First) Carbon Fusion Edge Technology. This results in these paddles having more power than traditional paddles – yet with still great control.
The main difference between the Black Diamond Power and the Double Black Diamond Control paddles is the face material.
The Black Diamond Power uses a Toray Raw Fibreglass face (a World First innovation), which provides amazing NEXT LEVEL power and pop. This paddle is HOT – and may take some adjustment if you are coming from a traditional soft paddle.
The Double Black Diamond Paddle has a Toray T700 Raw Carbon face.
The T700 carbon provides superior control and is an easy transition coming from any other type of paddle.
Both paddles use Toray materials, a high-quality superior robustness and longevity materials compared to other brands that are supplied by Toray Industries, a globally recognized Japanese manufacturer and specialist in composite materials.
What is the difference between the 14 mm Double Black Diamond and the 16 mm Double Black Diamond?
The 14 mm Double Black Diamond will add more pop and power, while the 16 mm Double Black Diamond will give you more control.
The 14 mm Double Black Diamond will also provide faster hand speed through the air.
Let us mention that these differences are subtle.
In terms of power, the 14 mm fits between the Black Diamond 16 mm Power model and the Double Black Diamond Control 16 mm model.

What is the average lifetime of a pickleball paddle?
How long your Speed Pickle Ball Pickleball Paddles last depends on the frequency and intensity of play and how you care for it. But as with anything, there are wear and tear components.
In general, the frequency and intensity of play and proper care determine the lifespan of Speed Pickle Ball Paddles. However, newer technologies are constantly being developed, so replacing old paddles with newer ones every year may be necessary.
Speed Pickleball Paddles generally last six months to two years.
The grip is another item that, over time, may need replacement. It’s easy to replace, but it might be a good idea to protect it with an over-grip.
We invite you to look at Speed Pickleball Over Grips made from cushioned leather.
How do I care for my Speed Pickleball paddle?
First, keep the face texture of your paddle clean by simply using our Speed Pickleball Cleaning Rubber as needed. Second, avoid extreme temperatures. Leaving your paddle in a hot or cold car for an extended period can affect its performance and lifespan.
To clean the edge guard of your paddle, use a glass cleaner and a lint-free cloth, and protect it by applying edge tape.
Finally, don’t worry about seeing the graphics wear over time. It’s standard in a sport where you constantly contact a hard ball. The performance of your paddle will not be affected by this
