11SIX24 Pegasus 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 added HexGrit, so this is the first time a soft-feel 11SIX24 paddle gets the spin surface that doesn't wear off.
The Pegasus is the widebody: 15.8 inches long, 8.2 inches wide, and the biggest, most forgiving sweet spot of the four Jelly Bean 2 shapes. It's also the lightest-swinging paddle in the line, so your hands stay quick in fast exchanges.
Best For
- Players who want the most forgiveness they can get on off-center hits
- Kitchen players who win with dinks, drops, and resets
- Fast hands battles where a light swing weight matters
- Beginners and developing players building a soft game
- Anyone coming off a power paddle that kept sending balls long
Skill Level & Play Style
2.5 and up. The widebody shape and soft core make this the easiest Jelly Bean 2 to pick up and play. Power comes from your swing, not the paddle, so if you want free pace off the face, look at the Pegasus Power 2 instead. Want more plow-through? A few grams of tungsten at 3 and 9 o'clock firms it up without costing much hand speed.
Why Players Like It
- Forgiveness. Widest face and highest twist weight in the Jelly Bean 2 line.
- Quick hands. Lowest swing weight in the series.
- Spin that sticks around. HexGrit, the same face tech as 11SIX24's $200+ paddles.
- Dwell. Soft, dense foam holds the ball a beat longer. Drops land where you aim them.

Performance Notes
Spin (third-party lab data). Pickleball Effect measured the Pegasus Jelly Bean 2 at 2,111 RPM, around the 93rd percentile of everything they've tested. Serious bite for a soft widebody.
Power and pop (third-party lab data). Roughly 27th percentile power and 22nd percentile pop, with a measured swing weight of 107 and twist weight of 7.03. Translation: a true control paddle, the lowest firepower in the Jelly Bean 2 line, with very good stability for how light it swings.
Feel. Soft, plush, lots of dwell. It absorbs pace instead of firing it back, which is exactly what you want on blocks and resets. The trade is less plow-through on drives than the heavier Vapor or Ultré.
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 want maximum forgiveness, quick hands, real spin that lasts, and a touch-first game, 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 a long handle for two-handed backhands.
How It Compares
vs. 11SIX24 Pegasus Power 2 ($209.99). Same widebody 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. Pick the Jelly Bean 2 if your misses come from balls sailing long or popping up.
vs. 11SIX24 Vapor Jelly Bean 2 ($169.99). Same core and face. The Vapor is a longer hybrid with more plow-through and a touch more spin; the Pegasus is wider, lighter in the hands, and more forgiving.
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 Pegasus Jelly Bean 2 USAP approved?
No. It's UPA-A certified only. The original Vapor Jelly Bean is the USAP-legal option in the family.
Which Jelly Bean 2 shape is most forgiving?
The Pegasus. It has the widest face and highest twist weight in the line.
Is it good for beginners?
Yes. It's the easiest Jelly Bean 2 to play well right away.
How is it different from the Power 2?
Softer core, less pop, more dwell. Same HexGrit spin. Totally different feel.
Is the handle long enough for a two-handed backhand?
At 5.5 inches it's workable for some players, but if two-handers are a big part of your game, the Hurache-X Jelly Bean 2 (6-inch handle) is the better fit.
Is it 14mm or 16mm?
16mm.
Does it come with a cover?
Yes, a neoprene cover is included.
