11SIX24 Jelly Bean 2 in-depth review
This is one of the most interesting paddles of 2026
11SIX24 this week released the brand new Jelly Bean 2 Series, which completely rebuilds one of the brand's most popular control paddles.
In doing so, we think they may have created one of the most interesting paddles of 2026.
The Jelly Bean 2 features a brand new EMA foam core, four different shapes and 11SIX24's HexGrit, which is a durable grit surface that produces elite spin and lasts significantly longer than traditional raw carbon fiber. All of the Jelly Bean 2 paddles are UPA-A approved.
In our in-depth review, we break down the Jelly Bean 2 specs, how it plays, the differences between the Pegasus, Hurache-X, Vapor and Ultra shapes, and how it compares to the 11SIX24 Power 2 and other all-court paddles on the market.
11SIX24 JELLY BEAN 2 SPECS
Pegasus Jelly Bean 2 (widebody)
Swing weight: 108 (low)
Twist weight: 7 (high)
Vapor Jelly Bean 2 (hybrid)
Swing weight: 117 (average)
Twist weight: 6.8 (high)
Ultre Jelly Bean 2 (hybrid/elongated)
Swing weight: 117 (average)
Twist weight: 6.7 (high)
Hurache-X Jelly Bean 2 (elongated)
Swing weight: 113 (average)
Twist weight: 6.1 (average)
HOW IT PLAYS
On the court, the Jelly Bean 2 has an incredibly soft, dense and muted feel with very little pop and a highly predictable power profile (i.e. the more you put in, the more you get out).
It's designed around control, but there's more power available on full swings than you might expect, making this a really interesting option for players who want control without completely sacrificing offense.
The softer feel combined with the gritty surface also makes this a great paddle for producing spin. It's really easy to get a feel for the ball on the paddle face, and because of that, you can shape shots more easily and more precisely.
