- Which paddle has more power, the 11SIX24 Ultré Power 2 or the JOOLA Perseus Pro V 16?
- 11SIX24 Ultré Power 2 scores 94 for power against 88 for JOOLA Perseus Pro V 16. 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?
- 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?
- Too close to call — neither has an advantage here. Both score 92 for spin.
- Which is more forgiving on off-center hits?
- 11SIX24 Ultré Power 2, with the higher forgiveness score (89 vs 86). Its 6.8 twist weight against 6.7 is what drives it — higher twist weight means the face rotates less when you miss the middle.

- 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.
