- Which paddle has more power, the 11SIX24 Ultré Power 2 or the Engage Pursuit MX 6.0?
- 11SIX24 Ultré Power 2 scores 94 for power against 78 for Engage Pursuit MX 6.0. 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?
- Engage Pursuit MX 6.0 at 91 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 86 for the Specialized carbon face on Engage Pursuit MX 6.0. In practice a 6-point gap is noticeable on third-shot drives.
- Which is more forgiving on off-center hits?

- 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. Engage Pursuit MX 6.0 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 (120 vs 118) and that is what you feel mid-rally.
- Is it worth upgrading from the Engage Pursuit MX 6.0 to the 11SIX24 Ultré Power 2?
- Only if you need what it actually adds. 11SIX24 Ultré Power 2 leads on pop by 19 points; everything else is within 16 points. At $220 vs $220, the money is better spent elsewhere unless that one trait is your weak spot.
