11SIX24 Power 2 Ultre vs Gearbox GX2 Power Hybrid

The 11SIX24 Power 2 Ultre and the Gearbox GX2 Power Hybrid 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 Power 2 Ultre takes 6 and the GX2 Power Hybrid takes 0. The GX2 Power Hybrid swings lighter (113.0 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 Power 2 Ultre is $70.00 cheaper at $209.99.

Same shape and near-identical core thickness — a genuine either/or. 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 · GX2 Power Hybrid.

Static weight 8.1 oz vs 7.9 oz — a few grams of tape moves swing weight far more than static weight, so either can be pushed toward the other.
