Heads up: UPA-A approved, NOT USAP approved. If your league or tournament runs USAP equipment rules, this one isn't legal there. Need USAP? Look at the original Vapor Jelly Bean.
11SIX24 Hurache-X Jelly Bean 2 16mm
The Jelly Bean 2 is 11SIX24 going the other direction from the Power 2. Softer, denser EMA foam core, the ball sits on the face longer, and you get touch you can actually trust at the kitchen line. Then they bolted on HexGrit, so this is the first time a soft-feel 11SIX24 paddle gets the spin surface that doesn't wear off.
The Hurache-X is the elongated version: 16.5 inches, 6-inch handle, and the most offense of the four Jelly Bean 2 shapes. Think control paddle with reach, not a power paddle in disguise.
Best For
- Players who win with placement: dinks, drops, resets, rolls
- Ex-tennis players who want an elongated shape without a hot, poppy core
- Two-handed backhands that need handle length
- Anyone coming off a power paddle that felt hard to control
- Rec, club, and UPA-A / PPA amateur play
Skill Level & Play Style
3.0 and up. The soft core is forgiving on touch shots, but the elongated shape still gives up some sweet spot and stability off-center compared to a widebody. Your power comes from your swing, not the paddle. If you want the ball to jump off the face on its own, look at the Power 2 instead.
Why Players Like It
- Dwell. Soft, dense foam holds the ball a beat longer. Drops land where you aim them.
- Spin that sticks around. HexGrit, same face tech as 11SIX24's $200+ paddles.
- Reach without the pop. Elongated leverage, but still easy to keep the ball down.
- Price. Premium control feel well under the big-brand control paddles.

Performance Notes
Spin (third-party lab data). Pickleball Effect measured the Hurache-X Jelly Bean 2 at 2,101 RPM, around the 91st percentile of everything they've tested. For a soft paddle, that's a lot of bite.
Power and pop (third-party lab data). Roughly 57th percentile power and 51st percentile pop, with a measured swing weight of 116 and twist weight of 6.06. Translation: the most offensive shape in the Jelly Bean 2 line, sitting right on the border between control and all-court.
Feel. Soft, muted, lots of dwell. Reviewers note that edge mishits can die short, so clean contact matters. The trade for the extra reach is a bit less stability off-center than the Vapor or Pegasus shapes.
Measured figures above are third-party lab data, not manufacturer claims. Individual paddles vary within the published ranges.
Quick Buying Summary
Buy it if: you play a touch-first game, want real spin that lasts, like the reach of an elongated shape, and your events don't require USAP certification.
Skip it if: you play USAP-sanctioned events, you want free power off the face, or you need the biggest sweet spot you can get.
How It Compares
vs. 11SIX24 Hurache-X Power 2 ($209.99). Same shape, same HexGrit, opposite personality. The Power 2 hits; the Jelly Bean 2 plays. Pick the Power 2 if you want the paddle to add pace on drives and put-aways. Pick the Jelly Bean 2 if your misses come from balls sailing long.
vs. 11SIX24 Vapor Jelly Bean (original) ($99.99). The original is a hybrid shape with a standard carbon face and is USAP approved, so it's the pick if you play USAP events or want a budget control paddle. The Jelly Bean 2 upgrades the core and adds HexGrit for a lot more spin.
The Tech
EMA Foam Core — softer and denser than the original Jelly Bean core. Built for dwell and predictable placement rather than trampoline pop.
HexGrit Surface — 11SIX24's patent-pending texture, designed so spin holds up over time instead of fading after a few weeks. It's also why the paddle is UPA-A only.
CFC Triple-Layer Face — two layers of raw Toray T700 carbon fiber with fiberglass in between.
FAQs
Is the Hurache-X Jelly Bean 2 USAP approved?
No. It's UPA-A certified only. If your tournament or league follows USAP equipment rules, you can't use it there. The original Vapor Jelly Bean is the USAP-legal option in the family.
Is it a control paddle or all-court?
Control at heart, but the Hurache-X is the most offensive of the four Jelly Bean 2 shapes and lands right at the edge of all-court.
How is it different from the Power 2?
Softer core, less pop, more dwell. Same HexGrit spin. Totally different feel.
What changed from the original Jelly Bean?
A softer, denser EMA foam core and the HexGrit surface.
Is the handle long enough for a two-handed backhand?
Yes, 6 inches.
Is it 14mm or 16mm?
16mm.
Does it come with a cover?
Yes, a neoprene cover is included.
