A new shape sitting between 11SIX24's Vapor hybrid and its elongated builds. The result is a big-swing power paddle with an unusually large sweet spot for the category.
JOOLA Hyperion CFS 16 verdict
An elongated drive machine. The extra reach and plow-through win baseline exchanges, but you pay for it every time you have to reset a fast hands battle.

- Which paddle has more power, the 11SIX24 Ultré Power 2 or the JOOLA Hyperion CFS 16?
- 11SIX24 Ultré Power 2 measures 94 on power against 89 for JOOLA Hyperion CFS 16. 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 Ultré Power 2 at 85 versus 84. 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 88 for the Raw carbon friction face on JOOLA Hyperion CFS 16. In practice a 4-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 6.1. 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.

- Which is better for a two-handed backhand?

- Which is lighter in the hand?
