- 11SIX24 Ultré Power 2 carries the higher overall Paddle IQ score (87.3 vs 85.1), but IQ is a weighted average. On the trait that separates them most — softness — 11SIX24 Pegasus Gen 3 leads by 7 points.
- Which one is faster at the kitchen line?
- 11SIX24 Pegasus Gen 3, at 117 kg·cm² swing weight against 120 for 11SIX24 Ultré Power 2. Lower swing weight is the single best predictor of hand speed in fast exchanges.
- Which paddle has more power, the 11SIX24 Ultré Power 2 or the 11SIX24 Pegasus Gen 3?
- 11SIX24 Ultré Power 2 measures 94 on power against 89 for 11SIX24 Pegasus Gen 3. That comes from a 16 mm Full foam core 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 6.8 twist weight against 6.3. Higher twist weight means the face rotates less when you miss the middle, and 11SIX24 Ultré Power 2 carries the higher forgiveness score (89) as a result.
- Is the price difference worth it?
- 11SIX24 Pegasus Gen 3 costs $190, $30 less. Whether that gap is worth closing depends on whether you actually use the traits it trades away — check the head-to-head DNA bars above before paying up.
- Do they use the same core and face?
- 11SIX24 Ultré Power 2: 16 mm Full foam core core with a Raw carbon face. 11SIX24 Pegasus Gen 3: 16 mm Foam-injected polymer core with a Raw carbon friction face.
- Which is better for a two-handed backhand?
- 11SIX24 Ultré Power 2, at 5.5 in of handle against 5.5 in. Anything under 5.25 in forces you to choke the bottom hand onto the face bevel, which 11SIX24 Ultré Power 2 avoids.
- 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 Ultré Power 2 rewards a repeatable swing and can feel unstable before that.
- Which is lighter in the hand?
- 11SIX24 Ultré Power 2 at 8.3 oz against 8.3 oz. Static weight matters for arm fatigue and elbow comfort; swing weight (120 vs 117) 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 $220 vs $190, the money is better spent elsewhere unless that one trait is your weak spot.
