11SIX24 Jelly Bean 2 Full Review: All 4 Shapes Tested

As part of this full review of the 11SIX24 Jelly Bean 2 lineup, I doubled my spin-durability test from 100 impacts to 200. The Jelly Bean 2 finished with more spin than it started with.

11SIX24 took the Tier 1 HexGrit surface from the Power 2, dropped it onto an entirely new full-foam EMA construction, and cut about $40 from the price. But despite sharing some of the same DNA, these paddles feel almost nothing alike.

In this review, I test all four Jelly Bean 2 shapes, compare them directly against Power 2, and put HexGrit through the most aggressive accelerated wear test I’ve run yet.

The bigger question: Was my original Tier 1 HexGrit result a one-off, or is this surface really that durable?
