11Six24 Pegasus Jelly Bean 2 Pickleball Paddle
The 11SIX24 Pegasus Jelly Bean 2 Pickleball Paddle combines a control-focused playing experience with the forgiveness and stability of a widebody design. Built around a 16mm EMA full-foam core, this paddle emphasizes soft touch, predictable ball response, and controlled shot placement. The foam construction produces a cushioned, dense sensation at contact, allowing players to manage incoming pace while maintaining confidence during delicate exchanges. Its relatively subdued rebound makes third-shot drops, defensive resets, and short dinks easier to control, particularly when opponents apply pressure. Rather than relying on excessive pop, the Pegasus Jelly Bean 2 encourages deliberate acceleration and precise contact. The core also provides a muted impact sensation that helps reduce harsh feedback through the handle. Players who prefer to construct points through consistency, placement, and patient shot selection will appreciate how naturally this paddle supports a controlled approach to the game.
The Pegasus Jelly Bean 2 features a widebody shape measuring 15.8 inches long and 8.2 inches wide, creating a generous hitting surface that supports forgiveness across the paddle face. Its broad geometry helps maintain stability on off-center shots, while a twist weight of approximately 7.1-7.3 contributes to resistance against unwanted rotation during blocks, volleys, and defensive exchanges. The face incorporates 11SIX24's CFC triple-layer construction, combining two layers of Toray T700 carbon fiber with an intermediate fiberglass layer. This arrangement works alongside the HexGrit surface technology to provide strong ball traction and consistent spin potential. The textured finish supports topspin drives, dipping roll volleys, controlled slices, and serves with added rotation. Independent testing has recorded spin performance around 2,341 RPM, illustrating the paddle's ability to produce substantial rotation when paired with proper technique. The combination of a responsive surface and controlled foam core allows players to apply spin while managing shot depth and trajectory.
On the court, the Pegasus Jelly Bean 2 is particularly effective during exchanges where touch, stability, and quick reactions matter most. Its soft response helps absorb incoming pace during defensive blocks and transition-zone resets, while the forgiving hitting area provides additional confidence when contact occurs away from the center. Although its playing personality favors control, the paddle still offers useful offensive capabilities when players accelerate through their strokes. Drives, serves, and overheads benefit from committed swings, while topspin helps shape attacking shots and bring the ball down into the court. Its restrained natural pop means compact counters and short punch volleys require more active input to generate aggressive pace. Despite the broad face, the paddle maintains quick handling through a swing weight of approximately 109-112 and a static weight around 8.0-8.3 ounces. This combination supports fast preparation during hand battles, efficient paddle positioning at the kitchen, and responsive movement between forehand and backhand shots.
The 11SIX24 Pegasus Jelly Bean 2 also incorporates a 5.5-inch handle with a 4.125-inch grip circumference, offering comfortable handling and enough room for compact two-handed backhands, depending on individual hand size. A protective edge guard surrounds the paddle perimeter, helping reduce damage from routine contact with the court. Its 16mm construction, broad hitting area, and controlled response make it accessible to developing players seeking greater consistency, while intermediate and advanced competitors can take full advantage of its spin capabilities and deliberate offensive character. The paddle is UPA-A certified and includes a neoprene cover, along with a 12-month manufacturer's warranty covering eligible manufacturing defects. Its greatest strengths emerge during rallies that demand patience, controlled transitions, precise placement, and confident defensive reactions. Players who generate their own pace and prefer to create offensive opportunities through touch, spin, and intelligent shot selection will find the Pegasus Jelly Bean 2 particularly well suited to their playing style.
