11SIX24 Ultré Power 2 verdict
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 Perseus Pro V 16 verdict
The 2026 control flagship. The KineticFrame build stiffens the perimeter without adding face pop, so resets land shorter and drives stay predictable — at the highest price in the database.

- JOOLA Perseus Pro V 16 carries the higher overall Paddle IQ score (89.1 vs 87.3), but IQ is a weighted average. On the trait that separates them most — touch — JOOLA Perseus Pro V 16 leads by 12 points.
- Which one is faster at the kitchen line?
- JOOLA Perseus Pro V 16, at 118 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 JOOLA Perseus Pro V 16?
- 11SIX24 Ultré Power 2 measures 94 on power against 88 for JOOLA Perseus Pro V 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?
- JOOLA Perseus Pro V 16 at 96 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 92 for the Raw Toray T700 carbon face on JOOLA Perseus Pro V 16. In practice a 0-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 6.7. 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 Ultré Power 2 costs $220, $80 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.

- 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 118) is what you feel mid-rally.

- Only if you need what it actually adds. JOOLA Perseus Pro V 16 leads on touch by 12 points; everything else is within 11 points. At $220 vs $300, the money is better spent elsewhere unless that one trait is your weak spot.
