11SIX24 Power 2 Pegasus Review: The Widebody I Keep Using

The Pegasus is the widebody of the 11SIX24 Power 2 Series — elite HexGrit durable grit, an oversized sweet spot, and just enough power to drive big without the pop running away from you. It's my favorite of the four.

This 11SIX24 Power 2 Pegasus review is the one I've been sitting on the longest, because this is the shape I actually keep reaching for. I've had mine in rotation since April, measured it on my Briffidi swing weight machine, and played it against the other three Power 2 shapes and my usual widebody benchmarks. Here's everything I found.

Quick answers from this 11SIX24 Power 2 Pegasus review:

• Is it USAP approved? No — UPA-A only.
• Is it a power paddle? Yes — low end of this lineup on full swings, high on pop.
• What's the swing weight? 107 on my unit; 110 lab average — the lowest in the lineup.
• What does it cost? $209.99.
• Who's it for? Widebody players who want forgiveness and fast hands without giving up spin.

1. 11SIX24 Power 2 Pegasus Review: The TLDR

The 11SIX24 Power 2 Pegasus is the widebody in a four-shape lineup built on a stiff, hollow 16mm Gen 4 full foam floating core with elite HexGrit durable surface technology.

• Play profile: Low end of the power category on full swings, middle of the power category on pop. A widebody built for fast hands and forgiveness that still lets you drive and serve big.
• Best for: Widebody players who want top-tier durable grit spin, an oversized sweet spot, quick hands at the kitchen, and enough power to be aggressive without the pop overwhelming their soft game.
• The catch: Swing weight variance across the series is real. My unit came in at a fast 107, but you might pull one heavier.
• Certification: UPA-A only. Not USAP approved.
• Price: $209.99.
• My take: This is my favorite shape of all four in the Power 2 Series. It fits my game more than any other paddle in the lineup.

2. 11SIX24 Power 2 Pegasus Review Scorecard

Every rating in this 11SIX24 Power 2 Pegasus review is relative to the premium power category — "low end" here still means a paddle that drives through the ball harder than most control shapes ever will.

The rest of this 11SIX24 Power 2 Pegasus review unpacks each row above, starting with how I got the numbers.

3. How I Tested for This 11SIX24 Power 2 Pegasus Review

Every number in this 11SIX24 Power 2 Pegasus review comes from one of two places, and I've labeled which is which throughout:

• My own measurements — static weight and swing weight taken on a Briffidi swing weight machine on the exact retail unit I've been playing. I don't own a twist weight adapter, so I don't publish twist weight numbers of my own.
• Third-party lab data — swing weight and twist weight averages, spin RPM, drive velocity, and pop, sourced from independent paddle-testing labs. These are clearly marked as lab figures, not my readings and not manufacturer claims.

Everything else — feel, sweet spot, soft game, how it stacks up against the other three shapes — is subjective, from four-plus months of rec play with this paddle in active rotation since April.

4. 11SIX24 Power 2 Pegasus Review: Specs & Construction

The Pegasus shares the same platform as the rest of the Power 2 lineup: a 16mm Gen 4 full foam floating core wrapped in the HexGrit carbon fiber surface, priced at $209.99.

Published specs

My tested unit vs. third-party lab averages

Here are my measured specs, taken on my Briffidi swing weight machine. I don't have a twist weight adapter, so the twist weight figure below is third-party lab data, not mine — and it's the single most revealing number in this table.

Read every performance note in this 11SIX24 Power 2 Pegasus review with that 107 in mind. For reference: my baseline swing weight for a widebody sits around 110–112, so a 107 unit is genuinely fast in hand. If yours comes in higher, remember you can always add weight to bring swing weight up — you can't bring it down.

That 7.23 twist weight is worth pausing on, because it's the number behind the whole feel of this paddle. Twist weight measures resistance to twisting on off-center contact — it is sweet spot, quantified. At the 93rd percentile, the Pegasus is measurably more stable than nine out of ten paddles on the market, and it explains why the forgiveness I describe below isn't just me liking the shape.

5. Power & Pop: Usable Firepower

Let's set expectations correctly, because this is the most misread part of any 11SIX24 Power 2 Pegasus review. Within the Power 2 lineup, the Pegasus sits at the low end of the power category on full swings and in the middle of the power category on pop. That follows the classic widebody trend — you trade some raw plow-through for hand speed and forgiveness.

Here's how the four shapes stack up on full-swing power, highest to lowest:

1. Hurache-X — most full-swing power
2. Ultré
3. Vapor
4. Pegasus — least full-swing power

And on pop, the order essentially inverts:

1. Pegasus — most pop
2. Vapor / Ultré (very close)
3. Hurache-X — least pop

One honest note on that pop ordering: lab pop testing actually scores the Ultré a touch higher than the Pegasus. On court, with my 107 unit and the widebody face, the Pegasus is the one that pops the ball for me. Take the ranking as my on-court read, not a lab result.

Also worth stressing: "low end of the lineup" is not "low power." Independent lab testing puts the Pegasus at 56.9 MPH drive velocity — the 88th percentile across all paddles tested. The Power 2 lineup is just a very fast room to be last in.

But here's the thing that made the Pegasus my personal pick: the power is enough. When I want to drive big or serve big, it's right there. And while the pop is high, it's not overwhelming to the point where I can't access my soft game on command.

Real talk — I've put a lot of time in with higher-pop paddles, so take my read with a grain of salt. But since the Pegasus isn't at the top of the pop world by any stretch of the imagination, it's quite easy to dial in. Under 4.0 you might still struggle with the pop, but the oversized sweet spot and predictable feedback make the firepower usable rather than punishing.

6. Spin: The HexGrit Advantage

Spin is the headline of the entire Power 2 lineup, and the Pegasus is no exception. Right now, HexGrit from 11SIX24 and Crystal Blue Endurance grit from Honolulu are the co-leaders in the durable grit race, and it's not even close.

I've had my Pegasus in rotation since April, and I truly have not had any noticeable degradation in spin generation. That matters. Durable grit isn't about generating more spin than a smooth 2026 face — plenty of smooth paddles rip spin — it's about retaining that grit far longer than standard raw carbon fiber. The Pegasus does exactly that. Third-party lab testing clocks it at roughly 2,109 RPM, which is effectively identical to the rest of the lineup.

What the HexGrit surface unlocks:

• Spinny rolls with a steeper, more repeatable drop
• Biting slices that stay low off the bounce
• Creative, heavily-shaped shots you can't always access with less spinny paddles
• All of the above months in — a lasting advantage, not a first-few-hours honeymoon

If you take one thing from this 11SIX24 Power 2 Pegasus review, make it this: durable grit is a longevity feature, not a spin-ceiling feature.

One honest caveat I give every reader: a lot of players aren't generating the spin they think they are. Your technique moves the needle more than your surface finish. Drill first, then let the HexGrit do its job.

7. Feel: Stiff & Hollow, But Not Overly So

The Power 2 feel is stiff and hollow with crisp, connected feedback — you know exactly where the ball is on the face. But let me calibrate that for you, because "stiff" gets thrown around loosely. Firmest first:

1. AIREO Cyclone — my stiffest reference paddle
2. 11SIX24 Power 2 (all four shapes)
3. Honolulu CR series — most ball pocketing of the three

So the Pegasus is firm and connected, but it's not overly stiff. The tell: when I switch back to the CR series — or even something like the RPM Q2 — I notice the ball pocketing on those paddles so much more. The Pegasus gives you less dwell and a more direct, crisp response.

Feel is the one area where this 11SIX24 Power 2 Pegasus review applies equally to all four shapes — the platform is identical, so if you've hit any Power 2, you already know what this one feels like.

If you love feedback-heavy, know-exactly-where-you-hit-it contact, this is your feel. If you're a dwell-and-pocket player, just know the Power 2 sits on the firmer side.

8. Sweet Spot: The Most Forgiving in the Lineup

This is the section that earns the 11SIX24 Power 2 Pegasus review its title. The Pegasus has the most generous sweet spot of all four Power 2 shapes, which tracks — that's exactly what a widebody is supposed to deliver, and the 93rd-percentile twist weight backs it up on paper.

Now, is it the biggest widebody sweet spot on the market? No. When I stack it against my widebody benchmarks — the Honolulu J2CR, the Gherkin Draco Widebody, and the RPM Q2 — those three outperform the Pegasus on sweet spot. But here's the important part: the gap is small, and it would not be the reason I chose one over the other. They're all above average, and the Pegasus is comfortably in that club.

This is where the Pegasus separates itself from its stablemate. In the 11SIX24 Power 2 Ultré review I had to flag a real sweet spot gap against the CR series — big enough to change a buying decision. Here, the gap is small enough to ignore. If forgiveness is your priority, the widebody is the shape to buy in this lineup.

In practice, this is what makes the pop usable. When I catch one slightly off-center, the ball still behaves how I expect. That predictability is a huge part of why this shape fits my game.

9. Soft Game: Better Than a Power Paddle Has Any Right To Be

Soft game is where most power paddles get graded on a curve, so let me be precise. Let me be clear about the category: the Pegasus is not a control paddle and it's not an all-court paddle. It lives firmly in the power tier.

That said, the combination of the oversized sweet spot and elite spin makes for a genuinely good control game — if you can dial in your grip pressure and technique. The HexGrit gives you spinny rolls, biting slices, and shots you simply can't create with a less grippy face. Drops, dinks, and resets are all there when you commit to them.

If you came to this 11SIX24 Power 2 Pegasus review looking for a true reset-first control paddle, this isn't it — look at the Honolulu CR series or a dedicated control shape instead.

It won't hold your hand the way a true all-court paddle would. But for a power widebody, the touch ceiling is higher than you'd expect.

10. Certification: UPA-A Approved, Not USAP Approved

This is the single most important line in the entire 11SIX24 Power 2 Pegasus review, and it's the easiest one to miss. The Pegasus is UPA-A approved. It is not on the USAP approved list. The same is true of every Power 2 shape — Hurache-X, Ultré, and Vapor included. The HexGrit surface that makes these paddles special is exactly what puts them over USAP's surface roughness limit.

What that means in practice:

• UPA-A events, MLP-style formats, and rec play: you're fine.
• USAP-sanctioned tournaments and most USAP-affiliated leagues: you cannot use this paddle. Bring a backup.
• Not sure what your events require? Ask your league director before you spend $209.99 — this is the #1 avoidable return we see.

If you need a USAP-legal alternative: the AIREO Cyclone 16mm is USAP and UPA-A approved (PBCoR 43) and sits in the same power tier at $189. It's an elongated shape rather than a widebody, so it's not a like-for-like swap — but it's the closest thing we carry that you can actually take to a USAP event.

11. 11SIX24 Power 2 Pegasus Review: The Final Verdict

Here's the short version of the whole 11SIX24 Power 2 Pegasus review, sorted by what you actually care about.

Buy the Pegasus Power 2 if:

You're a widebody player who wants elite durable grit, fast hands at the kitchen, and maximum forgiveness on off-center hits — with enough power to drive and serve big without the pop running away from you. If you already know you love the widebody shape, this is an easy pick. See the Pegasus Power 2 →

Look elsewhere if:

You're a control-first or sub-4.0 player who struggles with pop, or you want a true all-court paddle for a touch-heavy game. The Pegasus is usable in the soft game, but it's built to play offense. And if your events require USAP certification, this one is off the table entirely.

Pegasus vs Ultré — how to decide:

It comes down to shape and what you want out of the paddle. Choose the Pegasus if you want widebody hand speed, the biggest sweet spot in the lineup, and usable pop for kitchen play. Choose the Ultré if you want elongated-style reach, leverage, and plow-through for driving and serving from the back. Read the full Ultré review →

Pegasus vs Hurache-X — how to decide:

Opposite ends of the same platform. The Hurache-X is maximum reach and the highest full-swing power in the lineup, at the cost of hand speed and forgiveness. The Pegasus trades that plow-through for the fastest hands and the biggest sweet spot of the four.

That's the 11SIX24 Power 2 Pegasus review. It's long overdue, but we're thrilled to finally have the 11SIX24 lineup at Spinwave Pickleball. The Pegasus is the one I keep reaching for.
