{"title":"11SIX24 Pickleball Paddles","description":"\u003cp\u003e11SIX24 pickleball paddles are built around one unglamorous problem: paddle grit wears out. This page covers what HexGrit changes, the three shapes we stock in the Power 2 line, and which one suits your game.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat HexGrit changes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost raw carbon faces arrive with plenty of bite and then quietly lose it. You notice around three months in, when the roll volley that used to dip starts sailing long. HexGrit is 11SIX24's answer to that, and the numbers behind it are the reason we picked the brand up. 11SIX24 publish independent testing showing the Power 2 holding \u003cstrong\u003e98% of its grit\u003c\/strong\u003e and losing \u003cstrong\u003e8.9% of its spin\u003c\/strong\u003e after extended play, against 17.9% for the paddles it was tested beside, while spinning at 2,335 RPM. Durable grit is the thing players actually complain about after a season, and it is the whole argument for this brand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Gen 4 floating core\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnder the face sits a polypropylene core wrapped in closed cell EVA foam, which 11SIX24 call a Gen 4 floating core. The practical effect is range. Load up on a drive or a third and you get real pop. Take the pace off for a dink or a reset and it settles rather than firing the ball long. Most power paddles give you one gear; this one gives you a few. All three shapes are 16mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe three shapes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/11six24-pegasus-power-2-pickleball-paddle\"\u003ePegasus Power 2\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e is the widebody, 15.8 by 8.12 inches, swing weight 107. It has the most pop of the three and the biggest sweet spot. If you play doubles and want forgiveness with power behind it, start here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/11six24-vapor-power-2-pickleball-paddle\"\u003eVapor Power 2\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e is the hybrid, 16.25 by 7.75 inches, swing weight 113. It sits between the other two and is the safest first pick if you are not sure which shape you are.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/11six24-hurache-x-power-2-pickleball-paddle\"\u003eHurache-X Power 2\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e is elongated, 16.5 by 7.5 inches, swing weight 117. You get reach and leverage on drives and put-aways, and the ball feels heavier off the face. It asks for cleaner contact than the other two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho these suit\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntermediate through to advanced players who win points with pace and spin.

Elongated (Hurache-X) for reach and driving from the back. Hybrid (Vapor) if you want the middle ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the grit really last longer?\u003c\/strong\u003e That is the claim the brand is built on and the published testing supports it. It is still a raw grit surface, so treat it like one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I keep the face gripping?\u003c\/strong\u003e Use a cover.
