What Independent Reviewers Say About the Power 2
8 Independent Reviewers. One Verdict.
The Power 2 has been tested by Matt's Pickleball (440+ paddles reviewed), Pickleball Effect, The Kitchen, Johnkew Pickleball, Pickleball Globe, PickleTip, MyPickleBlog, and The Dink. Across the board: elite spin at 2,335 RPM, best-in-test grit retention at 98%, and surface durability that lasts twice as long as the leading competitor. All at $209.
Why Players Choose the Power 2
2,335 RPM Spin That Lasts
HexGrit is our patent-pending surface technology. In independent testing, the Power 2 recorded 2,335 RPM (4th highest ever) with just 8.9% spin degradation after extended play. Competitors lost spin at nearly double that rate (17.9%). The Dink reported "virtually no measurable spin degradation after 100+ games."
Gen 4 Core: Power That Responds
The Gen 4 floating core responds to your intent. Load up on a drive and feel the pop. Ease into a reset and get a soft, predictable touch. Pickleball Effect scored the Power 2 at 94% power and 95% pop. The Kitchen called it "stiff, poppy" and rated it 8-8.5 out of 10.
$209 vs $289+: Built Right, Priced Right
Same carbon fiber face, Gen 4 core, and proprietary surface tech that brands charge $289+ for. Pickleball Globe called the Power 2 "one of the best value paddles available." MyPickleBlog rated it 9/10 and named it a "contender for Paddle of 2026." That's not a sale price. That's what honest pricing looks like.

QUESTIONS
Power 2 FAQ
What skill level is the Power 2 designed for?
Intermediate to advanced players (3.5+ skill level) who want power and spin. The Power 2 is a strong fit for competitive players, former tennis or racquet sport athletes, and anyone who has outgrown beginner paddles. Beginners can use it, but our Jelly Bean or All-Court lines are more forgiving for players still developing consistency.
Which Power 2 shape should I pick: Hurache-X, Vapor, or Pegasus?
Hurache-X (elongated): Best for power players and ex-tennis athletes. Extended reach and extra leverage on drives.
Vapor (hybrid): The most popular shape. Balanced sweet spot and reach for all-around play.
Pegasus (wide body): Best for control and touch players. Maximum sweet spot for consistent contact.
Is the Power 2 tournament approved?
Yes. The Power 2 is UPA-A approved, which is the stricter pro-tour standard. UPA-A tests paddles broken-in, not fresh out of the box. If you're playing sanctioned tournaments, leagues, or competitive events, this paddle is cleared for play.
How does the Power 2 compare to Selkirk paddles?
The Power 2 delivers comparable or superior spin performance at $209 vs $289+ for Selkirk models (28-38% less). In independent testing, the Power 2 recorded 2,335 RPM spin with just 8.9% degradation, while the leading competitor lost spin at 17.9%. Multiple reviewers including Pickleball Globe and Matt's Pickleball have called the Power 2 one of the best values in competitive paddles.
How long does the HexGrit face texture last?
In independent testing, the Power 2 retained 98% of its original grit, which was the best result in the test group. The Dink reported "virtually no measurable spin degradation after 100+ games." The 8.9% spin loss rate is roughly half that of the leading competitor at 17.9%.
What are the Power 2 specs and weight?
Core: Gen 4 Full Foam Floating Core
Face: Carbon fiber with HexGrit surface
Weight: 8.0-8.3 oz
Thickness: 16mm
Length: 15.8-16.5" (varies by shape)

Can I try the Power 2 before committing?
Yes. Try it risk-free for 30 days. If it's not right for you, return it for a $10 return shipping fee. New or used.
What is the return policy for the Power 2?
30-day return window from the date of purchase. Returns are subject to a $10 return shipping fee, whether the paddle is new or used.
How fast does the Power 2 ship?
Same-day shipping on orders placed before 2pm Eastern. Standard delivery is 3-5 business days. Launch-day orders may take 1-5 extra days due to high volume.

i am so happy i finally found a paddle that's helped me stay consistent with both power and control,no more weird pop ups or balls into the net.

The Hurache-X Power 2 delivers amazing quality and performance for a very affordable price. It has improved my singles game and felt amazing stock, though it improved a lot with 3g on the sides. The grit retention is amazing and I cannot think of a better alternative in the market right now. It’s great!
E
This paddle is great. It has an amazing spin! The surface is very gritty. The power is so good too. The only thing I dislike was that I couldn’t use the tap to register nfc chip. That feature doesn’t work for my paddle
W
Greatvfor spin and power . I'm a RSPA Tennis professional and started playing pickle ball 14months ago. I took your recommendation to get this paddle because it would compliment an person with a tennis background. Also the new grit surface was s big selling point
to me.

Hope it lasts longer than the three other paddles I’ve purchased from you

Almost perfect paddle from 11SIX24. They knocked it out of the park with the grit on this paddle. The amount of control you have with it is unmatched right now. However, that is the peak category of this paddle. It all comes down to preference but I thought it would have a bit more power from the baseline. Really good serves, good dwell time, but expected more power and that’s why I gave it only 4 stars. I still love my Hurache-X!

I'm a 3.0 DUPR player and come from a Bread and Butter Loco hybrid. I got the Hurache X because I burnt through the grit on my loco in 2-3 months.
I initially added 3gs of weight at 9 and 3 and I hated it. It increased the sweet spot and power but exacerbated theunpredictability of the pop. My soft game suffered and even at the kitchen, my volleys would randomly pop off the kitchen.
I took off the weights and it felt much better, its a light elongated paddles with great spin and power. Problem was the unpredictable pop still. Though it was more manageable.
I ended up putting 2gs of weight each at 8 and 4, along the throat of the paddle and this helped a lot. My soft game is better and its more predictable. It feels closer to my old Loco now and I'm a fan. The pop feels tamed but I still get the benefits of the power and spin. Love the teal and the 6 inch handle for my large hands!

The vapor power 2 that I purchased months ago, I think it is better than this Hurache power 2. I want to return the Hurache. Can you pls advise How to return it. Pls send return code

This paddle just feels perfect for me.
I chose the power 2 because of hexgrit, the mpp core, and lower weight for configurability.
I know how I like my elongated paddles to feel based on static weight, swing weight, twist weight and balance point.
I was pleased that my paddle came in a bit light at 7.75oz so with the help of the Pickleball Effect paddle tuning app I was able to weight the paddle exactly to my preferences.
I’ve played dozens of games and the paddle face still looks and performs exactly the same as when new.
The only maintenance I perform is wiping the face on my shorts regularly. This is both simple removes all the ball dust.
What a paddle. 👏🏻

This paddle is replacing my 1st Hurache-X which I purchased Feb 2025, and the paddle face has gone smooth. I am thrilled with this new Power 2(recieved May 1, 2026) and the gritty paddle face and I feel I did not have a break in period. I really enjoy the 16mm paddles for control and the large sweet spot.

I received a hurache power 2 and the surface delaminated after 1 session. I called to reach out and they sent me a replacement, which took about a week and a half. The replacement also became delaminated in less than 1 session.
I wasted a month trying to find the right paddle for me and also wasted new grips and weights on these broken paddles.
J
I've been playing a few years now and I consistently chew through paddle surfaces because of my playing style. The Hurache-X Power 2 is holding up really well. Out of the wrapper I only added an overgrip and it was instantly playable. I actually won a small local tournament the day I unwrapped it 😆
If the HexGrit continues to hold up I'm going to be an 11SIX24 fan for a long time.

The paddle feels like 1:1 ratio on power and pop. The spin is best weapon on this paddle.
You won't over pop on kitchen rallies. Mistakes are on you not the paddle.
The static and swing weight are very good to allow customizations.

Great Paddle.
Awesome power with great control and sweet spot.
He grit is awesome and grips the ball.great premium built and worth waiting.Plays well with stock and need to try adding weights.
Very e with the purchase and great customer support.

Arrived a week late. Had a defect of some sort in the frame and apparently glue smeared on the other side of the frame of the paddle.
David sent me:
"Thank you for reaching out. This is David, the founder, following up on your previous email. I sincerely apologize for the issue you've experienced. I understand your frustration, and I'm here to assist you in resolving this matter.
We sent over a return label - let us know once its scanned in and we will send a new one. Calling it a "horrible paddle" doesn't help us to run out and help - things happen and we are sorry that it did. Did you want a return and refund instead?"
I responded I wanted to play the paddle still, so I would return it and wait for a new one. It has been a week and the return label is still not here. I was so into 11six24 I purchased a towel and hat three days after buying the Hurache-X. They got to me a week before the paddle, and they are of high quality.
Hard to review how the paddle plays, haven't played it. Can only comment on the physical quality of the one I received and David didn't like how I described the product. Be careful with criticism.

Great balance, superior grit for spin and explosive pop. There are many reasons to love this company and the products they produce. Class paddles and excellent service. You don’t need to go poor to play with cutting edge paddle technology.

My skill level is 4.25. This is the best paddle I’ve ever played with. I even bought a 2nd paddle to keep as a backup. The paddle has great control and feel while producing more power than previous x-power models. However the best characteristic is the long-lasting Hexgrit.

The paddle face bulged or separated from the core in the first game I played with it.

This is finally a power paddle that delivers elite spin and durability. I’ve been using the Hurache X Power 2 for about a month at a high level of play. I’ve hit with heavy spin, dove aggressively, and played hard, and the grid surface hasn’t changed at all. In fact, the paddle seems to have broken in nicely—it now offers more power, a larger sweet spot, and better off‑center stability than the Alpha Pro Power (APP). Among all the foam paddles I’ve demoed and played with, this is easily the best balance of spin and optimal power. The surface is extremely gritty, and the HexaGrit texture feels durable and long‑lasting, which more than justifies the extra cost compared to the APP. I used the discount code “KONG” for my purchase to get some discount. For control shots, dinking and resets feel comparable to the APP or Joola Pro 4, and are noticeably better than the Boomstik. The solid foam construction combined with a long‑lasting grid surface makes the Hurache-X Power 2 an excellent Gen‑4 paddle. It offers great pop and power when countering or diving, exactly when you need it most. Overall, this is the highest‑quality performance paddle I’ve used so far, and I honestly prefer it over the new Joola. Highly recommended and happy spinning!

Ok when I got the Vapor Power 2 I kind of struggled with that shape…🤔 it was very poppy and hard to control…but the Hurache X P2 is a much different story…from the beginning it was easier to control and I just love the way the Hex grit grabs the ball and shapes my shot…I’m sure if I spend more time on my Vapor P2 it will become more controllable 👍☺️ but the Hurache I played with yesterday was amazing…
