11SIX24 Ultré Power 2 (HexGrit)

What it is

The 11SIX24 Ultré Power 2 is the flat-top hybrid in 11SIX24's Power 2 (HexGrit, full-foam) line, released 12 June 2026 to slot between the hybrid Vapor and the elongated Hurache. Gen 4 full-foam floating core, HexGrit silicon-carbide surface over carbon fiber, 16mm, US$209 direct from 11six24.com. The shape is 16.35" × 7.65" with a long handle and parallel sidewalls, more reach than the Vapor and more stability than the Hurache, which is exactly how 11SIX24 positions it.

How it plays

The community and the reviewers agree on the headline: spin and power, with a control tax. Owners replacing core-crushed mains (an RPM V2, an Aireo Cyclone with worn grit) describe it as a do-everything paddle for drilling, doubles and singles, with the durable grit that the 2026 market now buys on. The impact feel is responsive and a touch hollow, comfortable rather than plush. Pro Augie Ge reportedly switched from the Vapor to the Ultré.

What the testers found

This is where the third-party data earns its place, and where the honesty matters:

• Matt's Pickleball measured ~2,381 RPM (elite spin), firepower 83/100 (high), and control 58/100 (above average, not elite), with serve speed 61 mph and pop 39 mph.
• Pickleball Effect ranked its spin in the top 10 of every paddle they've tested and put firepower in the 93rd percentile, above the mid-80s of the other Power 2 shapes, while noting plainly: "you do lose some control vs. the other shapes with the added pop."
• John Kew, Pickleball Pursuit and Pickleball Studio all ran durability passes; the consensus is ~98% grit retention with "virtually no spin loss" after hundreds of games.

The recurring caveat across reviews is forgiveness: this paddle rewards aggressive, clean contact and gives less help on mishits in the extreme top corners. It is not the "free power, swing easy" paddle.

Build and specs

Same Power 2 platform as the Vapor: full-foam floating core (no honeycomb, so no core crush), HexGrit over carbon fiber, 16mm, 4 1/8" grip. Stock runs light, 7.7-7.9 oz with a swing weight around 105-113, and the balance is head-forward, so most owners add tungsten tape at 3-and-9 or under the handle to settle it. The one non-build knock is message consistency: 11SIX24 made its name selling a $100 paddle while criticising the $200 tier, and the Power 2 line now sits at $209.

Where it fits

Intermediate-to-advanced player who wants the most spin and power in the Power 2 line and is willing to trade a little control and forgiveness to get it. If you value touch and a bigger margin for error, the Vapor Power 2 (more balanced) or a CRBN TruFoam (more control) are the better picks. Not a beginner paddle.

HK reality

Bottom line

On both community sentiment and third-party measurement, the Ultré is the spin-and-power peak of the Power 2 line, with category-leading durable grit. It earns a Recommended rather than a Strong Buy only because the extra pop costs real control and forgiveness, and because at US$209 plus import it asks flagship money. If you want the most aggressive HexGrit paddle and you have the hands to control it, it's one of the best releases of 2026. If you want balance, buy the Vapor Power 2 instead.
