11SIX24 Hurache-X Power 2 Review

For an elongated, it isn't slow. Its swing weight of 115.2 is a little lighter than the average elongated's, which is about 118, and about seven in ten elongated paddles I've tested swing heavier. Next to the Vapor Power 2, though, it swings a little heavier, since the Vapor comes in at 110.6, and it's about the same as the Ultré Power 2's 113.8. That's the price of the extra length.

It may also settle a little with use. Four owners from June to August 2026 said it softened a bit as they played it, and one owner said his hadn't changed after 30 to 40 games. None of those four described a face failure, which I cover further down.

Spin is what lets you swing that hard. The Hurache-X Power 2 spun 2,354 RPM in my spin test, for a spin score of 89 out of 100, which is more spin than the average elongated's 2,278 RPM. A hard topspin drive or serve dips into the court instead of sailing long, so you can take a full cut and still keep it in.

Speed-ups and counters

At the net, it's poppy. Pop is the pace you get off short swings, and the Hurache-X Power 2 scored 89 out of 100 for pop, which is clearly more than the average elongated's 74. So a speed-up or a counter comes off the face fast without a big swing. The reach helps you get to balls wide of your body, too. What it doesn't give you is the quickest hands in the line, so in a fast exchange, the lighter Vapor Power 2 is quicker to get back in front of the ball.

Dinks, resets and third-shot drops

This is where the Hurache-X Power 2 asks the most of you. Control and sweet spot are my scores from the same ball-machine dink, drop and reset drills every paddle gets. It scored 32 out of 100 for control, which is clearly less than the average elongated's 45, so a reset you push or a drop you rush comes off hot and sits up. The spring that makes counters so fast also gives pace back on soft shots. Because this face adds pace on its own, loosen your grip and shorten your stroke on resets and drops more than you would with a softer paddle like the Hurache-X Jelly Bean 2.

11SIX24 says the Power 2 core dials back to a soft, predictable feel on dinks and resets. My control score doesn't back that up for this shape. The grit does help on the dink itself, though, because a topspin dink dips fast and gives you a little more room over the net.

Mishits

Mishits are a mixed bag. Its sweet spot scored 64 out of 100, which is clearly bigger than the average elongated's 52, and only 19 elongated paddles I've tested have a bigger one. But its twist weight of 6.01 is low, and about seven in ten elongated paddles I've tested have a higher one. Twist weight is how much the face resists twisting when you miss the center, and a narrow 7.5 inch face doesn't carry much weight out at the edges. So a ball off the edge twists the face more than it would on the average elongated, and it's the least forgiving of the four Power 2 shapes. Lead or tungsten tape at 3 and 9 o'clock raises twist weight and steadies the face, with a little added swing weight. Four owners from March to September 2026 who added weight said it steadied their off-center shots.

My numbers line up with that build. Against other 16mm full foam elongated paddles, a group that hits hard and gives up a lot of control, the Hurache-X Power 2 has about the same power and control, with a little more pop and a little bigger sweet spot. So its low control is normal for this kind of paddle, and it does a little better than average on pop and forgiveness.

The grit is doing the spin work, not the core. Against other 16mm elongated paddles with a raw peel-ply face, it spins more. Against ones with a grit face, it spins about the same. And in my wear test, HexGrit lost about 1% of its spin over 75 games.

11SIX24 lists 8.0 to 8.3 oz, a swing weight of 114 to 118 and a twist weight of 6.25 to 6.5. My swing weight of 115.2 lands inside that range, and my twist weight of 6.01 came in under it.

The warranty is 12 months, and 11SIX24 asks you to register it within 30 days of purchase. You get 30 days to return it, with a $10 return shipping fee whether the paddle is new or used. It came out on March 6, 2026, and as of October 21, 2026, 11SIX24's store shows all three colors, Teal, Lavender and White, available at $209.99.

As of October 21, 2026, I haven't found a new report since August 2026, and 11SIX24 hasn't announced a fix, so register the warranty as soon as your paddle arrives.

On the good side, nine owners from March to October 2026 said it gives them power with control at the kitchen, and four said the 6 inch handle works well for a two-handed backhand. That control praise makes sense if you're coming from an even hotter paddle, like the Bread & Butter Loco Elongated. It matches the Hurache-X Power 2 at 92 out of 100 for power but scored only 21 out of 100 for control. Against everything I've tested, though, only 35 paddles score lower for control than the Hurache-X Power 2's 32.

On my scores, the J6CR Crystal Blue wins more of them. It has far more control, 69 out of 100 against 32, so resets and drops are far easier to keep down. It spins more, at 2,424 RPM against 2,354 RPM, and it has a little bigger sweet spot, 72 against 64. It also swings a little lighter, with a swing weight of 111.27 against 115.2. The Hurache-X Power 2 has a little more power, 92 against 87, and pop comes out about the same. Both grits held up in my wear test, and each one lost about 1% of its spin over 75 games.

What can decide it is getting one. As of October 21, 2026, Honolulu's page shows the 12th pre-order batch of the J6CR Crystal Blue sold out and says the 13th batch ships November 13, 2026. The Hurache-X Power 2 is in stock now.

So unless you need a paddle right away, I'd get the J6CR Crystal Blue. Get the Hurache-X Power 2 if you need a paddle now, or if a little more power on drives matters more to you than control and your soft game is already clean.
