11SIX24 Power 2 Ultre vs Element 6 Zephyr

The 11SIX24 Power 2 Ultre and the Element 6 Zephyr are both 16 mm hybrid paddles, so this one comes down to the measured numbers. Across the 6 specs with a clearly better direction the Zephyr takes 5 and the Power 2 Ultre takes 1. The Zephyr swings lighter (108.0 vs 114.0) — quicker hands at the net, where the Power 2 Ultre plows through the ball instead. That is a preference, not a win. The Zephyr is $70.00 cheaper at $139.99.

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 Ultre · Zephyr.

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.
