I've been using it for a couple of weeks (only modified with a hesacore grip and felt tac over grip) and it is a bit poppier than my 6.0 DBD but also a bit easier to put spin on my shots which has been a lot of fun.
I believe the longer handle (longest on any paddle I've found) and elongated shape have also helped add some power and spin to my serves which is one of the bigger focus points of my game.
This has made cross court dinking easier but due to the extra pop some of them do go a bit higher than what I aim for. Some of my non dinking shots also go a bit further and it may just take more time for me to adjust but overall it's a great paddle. Looking forward to using it in rotation.
Maybe in a year or two I'll try the all court or power version but I do really like the Hurache-X platform.
Awesome quality paddle. Dont sleep on this brand.
The 11SIX24 Monarch Jelly Bean pickleball paddle has high-end performance at an unbeatable price. It has exceptional control, quick maneuverability, and a forgiving sweet spot. I found it has extra pop for aggressive play while maintaining finesse at the net. Compared to my LUX it has longer lasting grit, making it a fantastic all-court paddle. Plus, its customization potential allowed me to fine-tune weight and balance to my style. The Jelly Bean is a game-changer!
I have only played with it two or three times and so far, I like it. It seems to give me more control over the placement of the ball as well as more spin, and I do like to spin the ball. I also seem to find that I am getting more balls over the net and with the top spin more balls are staying in the court. If you are looking for control, I would highly recommend this paddle. Karl
New to pickleball, found the company through reviews, came to it from tennis. Really like the paddle, just figuring out the game and how to customize it to get the most out of the paddle. Really awesome value, so pleased
