11SIX24 Power 2 Pegasus vs Pickleball Apes Zen S+

The 11SIX24 Power 2 Pegasus is a 16 mm widebody paddle; the Pickleball Apes Zen S+ is a 16 mm hybrid one. Across the 6 specs with a clearly better direction the Zen S+ takes 4 and the Power 2 Pegasus takes 2. The Zen S+ swings lighter (107.0 vs 110.0) — quicker hands at the net, where the Power 2 Pegasus plows through the ball instead. That is a preference, not a win. The Zen S+ is $10.00 cheaper at $199.99.

Two of the highest-measuring paddles in the database, head to head. Every number below is lab-measured, not a manufacturer claim.

Open this in the interactive comparison to add up to two more paddles, or tune either one with lead tape on its own page: Power 2 Pegasus · Zen S+.

Static weight 8.1 oz vs 7.8 oz — a few grams of tape moves swing weight far more than static weight, so either can be pushed toward the other.
