Six Zero Coral Pro Review
The premium, tournament-approved version of the Coral. Same forgiving 16mm power feel, plus the UPA-A build and a third shape, the Widebody, that the standard Coral does not offer. It runs $220, twenty dollars over the base line.

The short version
The Coral Pro is the standard Coral moved up a tier. It keeps the forgiving 16mm power feel, adds the UPA-A tournament approval, and opens up a third shape, the Widebody, for players who want the largest possible sweet spot. All three run the same $220 price and the same carbon face, so the choice inside the line is shape, and the choice against the base Coral is whether the approval and the widebody option are worth twenty dollars to you.
Same forgiving-power character as the Coral, in a certified build, with a widebody shape the base line does not offer.
The three, side by side
Coral Pro Hybrid
Coral Pro Elongated
Coral Pro Widebody
These ratings are our read of the published specs and where each paddle sits in the Six Zero range, not lab or hands-on testing. Where we have played a paddle ourselves, we say so.
How to choose your shape
Hybrid, the default. The standard shape balances a large sweet spot with enough reach for most players. If you want the Coral Pro and have no specific reason to pick another shape, start here.
Elongated, for reach. The longer head plus a slightly longer 5.75 inch handle add leverage and room for a second hand, which suits singles and two-handed backhands. The trade, as always with elongated shapes, is a narrower sweet spot.
Widebody, for the biggest target. This is the shape the base Coral does not offer. The wider body pushes the sweet spot to its largest and the feel to its most controlled, so it reads as the most forgiving and touch-friendly paddle in either Coral line. Pick it if your priority is margin for error and clean hands over reach.
Coral Pro vs the standard Coral
The two lines share the same 16mm forgiving-power character, so this is not a feel upgrade so much as a build-and-options upgrade. For your extra twenty dollars the Coral Pro adds the UPA-A tournament approval and the Widebody shape. If you play sanctioned events that require the approval, or you specifically want that widebody sweet spot, the Pro earns its price. If neither applies, the standard Coral gives you the same playing character for less.
What the specs tell us
Power with a net. Like the base Coral, the 16mm core drives well but stays controlled rather than explosive. This is forgiving power, not the raw pace of a thin-core banger.
Feel and control. The thicker core should give a planted, muted contact, and the Widebody takes that furthest, reading as the softest and most forgiving of the three.
Spin and serve. The raw carbon face is built to bite the ball, so topspin and slice should both have shape across all three shapes.
On the arm. The 16mm core is comfortable, and the Widebody’s larger face should be the most forgiving on off-center hits.
Who it is for
Buy a Coral Pro if
- You want the Coral’s forgiving power in a tournament-approved build
- You want the widebody shape, which the base Coral does not offer
- You play sanctioned events that require the UPA-A approval
- You want the largest, most forgiving sweet spot on a power-capable paddle
Look elsewhere if
- You do not need the approval, the standard Coral is twenty dollars less
- You want the hardest hitter, see the Black Opal
- You want the softest touch, see the Ruby
- You prefer a livelier all-court feel, see the DBD
