Pros:

• More stable and forgiving than typical power paddles
• Larger sweet spot compared to competitors, making it easier to use
• Well-priced for a Gen 3 paddle, undercutting most competitors by $100
• Three shape options let players choose based on their preferred style
• No drastic break-in changes, meaning the paddle plays consistently over time
• Plays very similar to the Joola 3S paddles with subtle differences, which are exceptional power paddles (and way more expensive)
• Fairly low swingweight allows for customization, but not necessary as the paddles play well stock
• Fully molded handles feel premium

Cons:

• Pegasus has significantly more pop than the other models, which felt uncontrollable at times
• Less raw power than some top-end power paddles, meaning ultra-aggressive players may prefer alternatives
• Sweet spot is good but not "edge-to-edge", so mishits will still be noticeable
• Not for control-focused players, as the paddle leans toward offense

Gameplay Performance

Pop and power

• Strong and linear power without being excessive (definitely not past legal limits), making it easier to control than some raw power paddles
• The Pegasus model has significantly more pop than the Vapor and Hurache-X
• More power on drives than on punch volleys, making it controlled yet aggressive

Controllability

• More stable and controlled than many power paddles, thanks to the EVA foam ring
• Firm but not harsh, giving players clear feedback without an overly muted feel
• Easier to adjust to than some competitors, making it a great option for players transitioning to power paddles

Sweet spot and forgiveness:

• Larger sweet spot than other power paddles in its class, especially compared to the Paddletek Bantam line
• More stable than the Joola 3S and Bantams, making mishits less punishing
• Feels consistent across the face, avoiding the hollow or dead zones seen in some competitors
• Ball sinks in more on big drives and gives you more energy than Gen-2 paddles
• Firm but not completely stiff, more feedback depending on how you hit the ball

Weight and maneuverability:

• Well-balanced swing weights across all models, allowing for easy customization
• Pegasus: Higher swing weight, best for stability
• Vapor: Mid-range swing weight, best for all-court play
• Hurache-X: Lower swing weight for maneuverability, but still packs power

Durability:

• No significant break-in period or overheating issues, unlike other Gen 3 paddles
• Core structure looks solid, with no early signs of deformation
• Handle feels better built than Joola’s 3S line, with a more comfortable grip

Spin:

• Spin performance is comparable to high-end carbon fiber paddles
• No major spin advantages, but offers good grip and control on topspin and cut shots
• Feels more linear in response than other Gen 3 paddles, making shots feel more predictable

Preferred shape: Vapor
Weight setup: 

All paddles play well stock but here are Chris’ setups:
Vapor: 0.5 grams tungsten tape on 3&9’o clock to bottom corner
Hurache-X: Two 3-gram tungsten tape strips on each side of throat

Final Verdict

Recommended for: All-court players who want to lean into more power; players who want a premium power paddle experience at an affordable price
Not ideal for: Players who already own a Joola 3S or another power paddle. You will improve faster by sticking with a paddle that does 85% of what you want and building muscle memory with it.

Pros

• Elite tier in value
• Unique construction with great durability, which is unique to Gen 3 paddles
• No break-in or breakdown after over 50 hours of play
• Each of three shapes are completely unique to 11SIX24
• Strong sweet spot (Vapor & Pegasus): High twist weight helps with forgiveness
• Easier to control and get used to compared to CRBN TruFoams

Cons

• Hurache-X needs weight with smaller sweet spot and stability issues without added lead tape
• Pegasus has high pop, which can be difficult to control for players who prefer softer touch
• Handle length of the Hurache-X is 6 inches, may sacrifice face area unnecessarily for some players

Gameplay Performance

Pop and Power:

• Falls into the power paddle category but doesn’t feel extreme or uncontrollable
• Pegasus had the biggest sweet spot and whippy, significantly less powerful than other two shapes, but still has decent pop
• Vapor & Hurache-X: Offer most powerful drives with a more linear, controlled feel

Control & Feel

• Firm yet responsive: Absorbs the ball slightly before releasing with power
• Crisp and not overly stiff: Offers enough feedback without feeling too rigid
• Not a lot of dwell time. Feel very different compared to Pulse V or Gen 1 or 1.5 paddles like the Vatic Pro Sagas.

Sweet Spot & Forgiveness

• Pegasus: Most forgiving, biggest sweetspot and easiest to play with
• Vapor: very good power without sacrificing sweet spot
• Hurache-X: Smallest sweet spot, benefits from added weight for stability

Weight & Maneuverability

• Swing weights are average for their respective shapes
• Vapor model: Best balance of maneuverability and power
• Pegasus model: Most whippy, fastest hand speed
• Hurache-X: Slightly heavier feel, benefits from extra weight for countering stability issues

Durability

• Thick-walled core (thickest measured yet) and reinforced perimeter foam suggest long-term reliability
• No noticeable core crushing or structural breakdown even after over 50 hours of play

Spin

• Generates high RPMs, performing on par with other top-tier paddles
• No clear difference in spin between the three models

Preferred shape:
Vapor: similar power as Hurache, doesn’t sacrifice too much sweet spot compared to the Pegasus

Final Verdict

Recommended for: Players who want a durable and affordable power paddle
Not ideal for: Players who prefer paddles with more dwell time and can’t dial in fast and poppy paddles

 Pros

• Quality paddle at an affordable price
• Easy paddle to pick up and performs well out-of-the-box, doesn’t need customization
• Good power with medium pop makes it a very well balanced paddle

Cons

• Medium pop offers less offense at the net
• Pegasus is more of an all-court paddle rather than a power paddle
• Feels a little less maneuverable than swingweight suggests

Gameplay Performance

Pop and Power:

• Moderately high power, medium pop
• All-court profiles until activated with big strokes and added force 
• More pop and spring compared to control paddles that may need a small but insignificant adjustment period

Control & Feel

• Initially didn’t feel like power paddles, more controllable power paddle
• Feels semi hollow
• Seamlessly transitions from all-court to power performance
• All three models are very forgiving, you don’t have to be a 5.0 player to dial these in

Sweet Spot & Forgiveness

• The Pegasus feels like an all-court paddle and felt very close to 11SIX24 All Court Pegasus
• Vapor was very forgiving and easy to pick up and play 
• Hurache-X has a smaller sweet spot than Vapor but higher power ceiling

Weight & Maneuverability

• Well-balanced, but plays a little heavier than swing weight suggests due to higher static weight
• Plow-through and forgiveness eliminated need for added weight
• Great out of the box

Spin

• Top-tier spin across the board

Final Verdict

Recommended for: Players who want an affordable power paddle with good out-of-the-box forgiveness
Not ideal for: Players who want very high maneuverability and high pop
