Methodology
How we tested the 11SIX24 Pegasus Jelly Bean 2
Every paddle on this site goes through the same five-step protocol — lab measurement first, then structured on-court drills with a partner. No shortcuts, no guessing, no relying on the brand's spec sheet.
- Lab-measured specs. Static weight, swing weight, and twist weight measured on calibrated equipment — not pulled from the brand's claim sheet.
- 10-minute break-in. Drives, dinks, drops, and resets to let the face settle in before any verdict is recorded.
- Baseline power & spin. Drives, topspin patterns, and serves with a drilling partner to evaluate raw power and ball pocketing.
- Kitchen touch & control. Dinking, third-shot drops, and resets to evaluate dwell time, plushness, and mishit forgiveness.
- Transition firepower. Mid-court exchanges and hand-speed battles where shape and twist weight separate the great from the average.

Playing Feel
All-CourtThe Pegasus Jelly Bean 2 is 11SIX24's most forgiving pickleball paddle, built around a 16mm EMA foam core that delivers extended dwell time and soft resets without giving up the pop you need on offense. The widebody shape maximizes the sweet spot and torsional stability on off-center hits, making it the ideal choice for players who want to minimize unforced errors while still generating spin with the HexGrit surface. At a swing weight of 105.63 and balance point of 23.1 cm, it's the most maneuverable shape in the JB2 lineup — keeping your hands fast at the kitchen without sacrificing stability. UPA-A approved for tournament play.
