11SIX24 Power 2 Pickleball Paddle

Overview

Summary

The 11SIX24 Power 2 is the attack-minded member of the brand’s second-generation line, and the name tells you what the engineers had in mind. It is built around a 16mm Gen 4 floating foam core, a textured HexGrit face and a stiff, responsive frame, so the paddle gives the ball a lively kick without feeling wooden at the net. The Power 2 comes in several head shapes (Hurache-X, Vapor, Pegasus and The Ultré), which lets players pick the reach and swing speed that suit their game while keeping the same engine underneath.

On court, the paddle rewards players who like to dictate the point. Drives from the baseline jump off the face, speed-ups at the kitchen line carry real pace, and the foam core keeps the contact soft enough that blocks and resets are still manageable. The brand quotes a spin potential in the region of 2,335 RPM for the textured surface and claims it keeps about 98% of its grit after more than 100 hours of play. Treat those numbers as manufacturer claims rather than lab results, but they point to the real design goal: spin that does not fade after a few weeks.

Strengths

• Easy, early power. The floating foam core stores and returns energy well, so you do not need a long swing to send the ball deep.
• Durable texture. HexGrit is designed to hold its roughness longer than a standard raw-carbon face, which matters if you play several times a week.
• Tournament ready. The paddle is UPA-A approved, so it can be used in pro-sanctioned events as well as club play.
• Choice of shape. Four head shapes mean you can trade reach for maneuverability without leaving the family.
• Comfortable contact. Foam cores damp vibration better than many stiff honeycomb builds, which is kind to the elbow on long days.

Weaknesses

• Not a pure touch paddle. The Power 2 is tuned for pace. Players who live on soft dinks and delicate drops may prefer the brand’s Jelly Bean 2 line.
• Needs a little time. Foam paddles often feel different from honeycomb ones, and your reset timing will need a short adjustment period.
• Premium price tier. It sits in the upper price range of the market, so it is an investment rather than a casual purchase.
• Shape matters. The more elongated versions add reach but ask for better footwork and a firmer wrist on defence.

Who it is for

Intermediate to advanced players who already have decent fundamentals and want a paddle that adds pressure to their offence. It suits doubles players who like to speed up the ball from mid-court, singles players who need depth on groundstrokes, and anyone moving from a honeycomb paddle who wants a more modern, foam-based feel. Beginners can use it, but they will probably get more value from a more forgiving control paddle first.

Specifications

Buying note. Weight and balance change from one head shape to another, so always check the exact shape you are ordering. Spin and durability figures are claims from the manufacturer and will vary with how often you play and how you clean the face.
