Description
The main change to this paddle vs the original Power series is the face layering order. Moving the fiberglass to the bottom layer has added dwell and increased pop vs. the Power series. The most notable (and likeable) improvement to this paddle is the Crisp, snappy feel it has when making contact with the ball. This can be directly attributed to the dwell and increased pop the paddle has. There is slightly less power compared to the original power, but this actually helps keep balls in, making it way easier to keep returns consistently hitting the baseline. The only downside I’ve noticed to this paddle is the grip. The wrap does not provide enough “hold,” especially as any amount of moisture is introduced to the grip. With the low twist weight of the vapor shape, this can cause quite a few drives to twist the paddle face when hit outside of center-mass. Fortunately, this is an easy/cheap fix with an aftermarket grip. Overall, this is my favorite paddle from 11six24 to date. Paddle drops on July 21, 2025, and is now available for pre-order.
