- Which paddle has more power, the 11SIX24 Pegasus Gen 3 or the 11SIX24 Ultré Power 2?
- 11SIX24 Ultré Power 2 scores 94 for power against 89 for 11SIX24 Pegasus Gen 3. That comes from a 16 mm Full foam core swinging at 120 kg·cm² — mass behind the ball, not face material.
- Which one gives more control and touch?
- 11SIX24 Pegasus Gen 3 at 87 versus 85. Its 16 mm core holds the ball on the face slightly longer, which is what makes resets and dinks land shorter.
- Which paddle spins the ball more?
- 11SIX24 Ultré Power 2 scores 92 for spin off its Raw carbon face, against 91 for the Raw carbon friction face on 11SIX24 Pegasus Gen 3. In practice a 1-point gap is small enough that technique matters more.
- Which is more forgiving on off-center hits?
- 11SIX24 Ultré Power 2, with the higher forgiveness score (89 vs 83). Its 6.8 twist weight against 6.3 is what drives it — higher twist weight means the face rotates less when you miss the middle.

- Which is better for a two-handed backhand?
- Too close to call — neither has an advantage here. Both run a 5.5 in handle, long enough that neither forces you to choke the bottom hand onto the face bevel.
- Which one is better for beginners?
- 11SIX24 Ultré Power 2 is the safer first paddle here: forgiveness 89 and sweet spot 90 mean fewer mishits while your contact point is still inconsistent. 11SIX24 Pegasus Gen 3 rewards a repeatable swing and can feel less stable before that.
- Which is lighter in the hand?
- Too close to call — neither has an advantage here. Both are listed at 8.3 oz, though swing weight differs (117 vs 120) and that is what you feel mid-rally.
- Is it worth upgrading from the 11SIX24 Pegasus Gen 3 to the 11SIX24 Ultré Power 2?
- Only if you need what it actually adds. 11SIX24 Pegasus Gen 3 leads on softness by 7 points; everything else is within 6 points. At $190 vs $220, the money is better spent elsewhere unless that one trait is your weak spot.
