Description
The soft paddle that still bites.
The Jelly Bean is back - and this time the grit lasts.
This is not a power paddle, and we're not going to pretend it is. The Jelly Bean 2 runs a softer, denser foam that gives you real dwell on the ball: longer contact, more feel, more control at the kitchen line. Dekel Barr called it "sneaky power," which is about right. You won't overpower anyone off the bounce, but you'll place the ball where you want it and find pace when you need it.
If you loved the Alpha Pro Powers, or you've always played a softer paddle and never found one that held up, this is the one. It's a completely different animal from the Power 2 - that paddle hits; this paddle plays.
Paired with our durable HexGrit surface, so the spin you buy is the spin you keep. UPA-A approved.
Not for you if: you want raw put-away power off the serve or a paddle that does the work for you.

QUICK ANSWERS
IS THE JELLY BEAN 2 RIGHT FOR YOU?
Straight answers to the questions players ask before choosing a Jelly Bean 2.
What is the Jelly Bean 2?
The Jelly Bean 2 is an all-court-focused pickleball paddle built around a softer, denser EMA foam core for longer dwell, touch, and predictable placement.
Is it a control or power paddle?
It is primarily an All Court paddle with low pop. The soft core is tuned for resets, dinks, and drops. Even though it's soft, there is enough finishing power when you accelerate through the ball.
Who is it best for?
It is best for players who prioritize a forgiving sweet spot, dependable touch, and spin over maximum raw power.
What changed from the original Jelly Bean?
Jelly Bean 2 adds a softer, denser EMA foam construction and the addition of HexGrit
Which shape should I choose?
Shape is all a personal preference. If you want the maximum sweet spot, choose the Pegasus. The Vapor and Ultré are the best all-rounders. The Hurache-X has the most reach and will feel the most natural to ex-tennis players.
What is included?
Every Jelly Bean 2 includes a neoprene cover and is backed by the warranty and return terms shown on this page.

I love my new paddle. Lightweight, great control, and just the right amount of power.
G
Like the feel but could use a little more power for myself. Buy i think it’s a great beginner to intermediate paddle it’s very light and if you want more power. You can add weight. I would definitely recommend this paddle. I would also like to try the ultra elongated. I test paddles and also customize them . This one didn’t need much it’s pretty cool rt out of the box 👍
C
Softer than my Ultre Power 2, but as much if not more spin. Everything stays in. Dinks are solid with a little push and watch out for the top spin roll. If you are a DUPR 3 wanting to get to a 4, try this paddle for more control and reliability.

Aside from hurache x jb2, pegasus jb2 if my 2nd main paddle. It's like a part of your arm already, it feel soo natural especially for me as coming from a table tennis background. It's the most forgiving build I've ever used, you'd be a kitchen beast with this.

Love the Jelly Bean 2 Pegasus! The paddle delivers fantastic touch, control, spin, and enough power when needed. The Jelly Bean 2 has really elevated my play with a more accurate and balanced contact on a really nice sweet spot.
a
I searched for high durable spin rating for a control paddle. This came up a long with their other power paddles when searcded just for high spin. Independent ratings, not hype, as an over 80 player, the combination of control and spin are where I can compete with younger players

Best paddle I’ve ever used. I had J2CR as well. 4.5 dupr player

Love it, advanced Senior player and was looking for more control and not so much power. The Pegasus jelly bean is not super powerful but that's okay. I wanted more control and spin and that's what you get the this paddle. Still has enough put away power when you need it, plus a pretty large sweet spot. I did put a 3g clip at 3 and 9 for a bit more stability. Very low swing weight and that's what I like. I think the pros definitely out weigh the cons.

I'm lovin' the feel of the paddle. The balance and weight are awesome. The dense and soft contact is just I've been looking for in my play style. I must say the foam core is an adjustment coming from a carbon fiber core in my previous paddle, but it's oh so sweet working the kitchen with this paddle.

I was playing with a power paddle gen III. I continually knocked out balls and struggled to reset to the kitchen. My out balls have dropped over 50% and keeping balls down and resetting to kitchen I feel I have more control. I knew my weakness and selected a paddle that would help me address them and of all the paddles I researched and made a great choice! As I get a feel for this paddle it will definitely help me take my game to the next level.
M
coming from a Gen 3 paddle, I was a little skeptical, but having played with it for a week, totally love it ..

Best paddle I had so far: Light, stable, great spin and control but with enough power. Highly recommended!
A
With weight added to meet my preferences, it is quick in the hands, has great control with enough power.
A
This paddle has exactly what I was looking for; it retains the stability of the Pegasus form but with a softer more muted feel. It pops less, and the longer duel time in tandem with the grit tech, allows for heavier and more shaped drives, and more aggressive sinks. It is true that the putaway power is less than the power2 counterparts, but it is not lacking. Also, and besides performance, I absolutely love the sound that the paddle makes when hitting a powerful drive after it is fully broken in; that slap-like pop, loud and intimidating. It is also very good looking design and a great color scheme.
D
Great Control Paddle but lacks a bit of pop/power.

My friend and I are both beginners, she is a former tennis player. We both used my new Jelly Bean along with several other paddles we tried. We both kept coming back to the JB and preferred it. Even as newbies, we could really tell a difference! I love it!
J
The Jellybean 2 Pegasus has the best feel for the ball I have ever experienced. The control and big sweet spot are as great as advertised and as reviewed by the paddle nerds. I find that there is plenty of power on hand when I need it, but not so poppy it is out of control.
