11SIX24 Ultré Jelly Bean 2 Foam Core Pickleball Paddle

For players who want the Jelly Bean 2's soft response in a shape that leans a little farther toward reach, the 11SIX24 Ultré Jelly Bean 2 uses a 16.3in x 7.7in Hybrid frame with a flatter, more squared-off profile. That puts it close to the Vapor on paper, but the Ultré carries a little more length and a slightly narrower face, giving us additional leverage without stepping all the way into the elongated Hurache-X. It also uses a shorter 5.35in handle, leaving more of the overall length in the hitting surface. Within the four-shape lineup, we see the Ultré and Vapor as the two all-rounders, with Vapor leaning toward classic Hybrid balance and Ultré nudging farther toward reach and attacking leverage.

The Jelly Bean 2 construction gives that shape a very different personality from the Ultré Power 2. Instead of a fast floating-core response, the softer, denser EMA foam creates longer dwell and asks us to build our own pace. That means we can absorb a hard drive, soften a reset into the kitchen, or take a larger swing at a third without constantly fighting excess rebound. The CFC triple-layer face uses raw Toray T700 carbon fiber around fiberglass, then adds HexGrit so spin stays central to the paddle's offensive game. This is not the Ultré for someone chasing free put-away speed. It is the version we would pick when we like the shape but want placement, feel, and a much calmer response than Power 2.
