- Which paddle has more power, the 11SIX24 Ultré Power 2 or the Ronbus Tenon?
- 11SIX24 Ultré Power 2 scores 94 for power against 88 for Ronbus Tenon. 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?
- Ronbus Tenon 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 90 for the Raw T700 carbon face on Ronbus Tenon. In practice a 2-point gap is small enough that technique matters more.
- Which is more forgiving on off-center hits?
- 11SIX24 Ultré Power 2, with the higher forgiveness score (89 vs 88). 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.

- Too close to call — neither has an advantage here. Both run a 5.5 in handle, long enough that neither forces you to choke the bottom hand onto the face bevel.
- Which one is better for beginners?

- Which is lighter in the hand?
- Ronbus Tenon at 8 oz against 8.3 oz. Static weight matters for arm fatigue and elbow comfort; swing weight (110 vs 120) is what you feel mid-rally.

- Only if you need what it actually adds. Ronbus Tenon leads on softness by 9 points; everything else is within 8 points. At $220 vs $180, the money is better spent elsewhere unless that one trait is your weak spot.
