Methodology
How we tested the 11SIX24 Ultre 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 Ultre Jelly Bean 2 is built for players who load up and swing through the ball. With the highest swing weight in the JB2 lineup at 118.98 and a head-heavy 24.0 cm balance point, it delivers maximum plow-through and approximately 2,400 RPM of spin from the HexGrit surface — without the harsh feel you'd expect from a power-oriented paddle. The 16mm EMA foam core (Gen-4 unibody molded construction) keeps dinks and resets soft while the Ultre's hybrid shape offers slightly more face coverage than a traditional elongated. Best suited for intermediate to advanced players who prioritize spin, stability, and drive power over raw hand speed at the kitchen. UPA-A approved for tournament play.
