The Vapor is the hybrid in the 11SIX24 Power 2 line and the one to pick if you are not sure which shape you are. At 16.25 by 7.75 inches with a swing weight of 114, it sits between the forgiving Pegasus widebody and the long Hurache-X on both reach and stability. Chris Olson described the Vapor's pop as aggressive without sacrificing your soft game, which is the whole idea of the shape.

HexGrit, the reason we stock this brand

Raw carbon faces almost all start grippy and lose it. 11SIX24 publish independent testing showing the Power 2 holding 98% of its grit and losing 8.9% of its spin after extended play, against 17.9% for the paddles tested alongside it. Independent lab testing rates the Vapor spin as elite at 2,312 RPM. If you have ever replaced a paddle because the rolls stopped dipping rather than because anything broke, that is the problem this surface is built for.

The Gen 4 floating core

A polypropylene core wrapped in closed cell EVA foam, 16mm thick. It gives you range rather than one setting: real pop when you load up on a drive or a third, and a softer, more predictable feel when you take the pace off for a dink or a reset.
