Great balance between power and touch, large sweet spot.
I love this paddle, compared to my mod-15, it is lighter and quicker at the net, yet I am able to hit deep drives and serves, the spin and pop is high end and the feel on drops and resets are exceptional…well done!
These sell out fast so it’s hard to get your hands on one. Now that I’ve gotten it, so far so good!
I've just finished my first play session with the 11SIX24 Vapor Power. It is very impressive. For some context, I'm a 4.5 rating player. I am 49 years old, and play on average 3 times a week. I've been a 6.0 loyalist for the past 2 years. I've played their DBD, BD Infinity and Ruby. What drew me to 6.0 was their willingness to innovate. I feel 11SIX24 shows the same willingness to test and develop new shapes, materials and construction methods in their products. They swing for the fences, and this attitude has been rewarded with the success of their most recent paddles.
The first thing I noticed about my Vapor Power was the spin. It is next level. Serves that for sure seemed destined to be long were dipping inside the baseline at the last nano second, becoming a real handful for the returner. Equally, drives were dipping viciously below the net line just after clearing, again making it very difficult for the incoming player trying to establish good position at the kitchen. Next, the control. This paddles amazing stability makes resets almost automatic. And the power level is tempered enough that it never feels like a bomb going off in your hands. And as I mentioned, the spin. Remember, spin = control. This paddle is also as fast in the hands as anything else I've played, including edgeless paddles with swing weights in the low 100's.
In conclusion, I felt compelled to write this review after just 1 session. I usually take at least a week or 2 to get to know a new paddle, but this thing is a clear winner right out of the box.
I’m a 3.5 recreational player and have been playing for approximately 3 yrs. I purchased my Vapor Power paddle from the second batch available. I really like the feel, stability and control of this paddle, and yes the power is there too when needed. The sweet spot is massive. The paddle played great right out of the box, with no added weight necessary. My wife tried it and liked it so much she took it, so I had to purchase another for myself.
