Check out our full review of the 11SIX24 Jelly Bean 2 Series here.
Is the Jelly Bean 2 Hurache-X worth $169.99?
Yes. At $169.99 it sits in the mid price range, and you get a soft, muted EMA foam core with predictable power and a HexGrit face whose grit lasts. We see it as one of the more interesting paddles out there.
Who should buy the Jelly Bean 2 Hurache-X?
Players who lean on touch and shot shaping but still want to hit with some pace. It suits control-minded players who like to finish points with full swings rather than relying on pop. If you want pace that jumps off the face, a livelier paddle will suit you better.
Buy it if
- You want control without losing all offense
- You like a soft, muted feel
- You want elite, durable-grit spin
- You like power that scales with your swing
Skip it if
- You want a stiff, poppy feel
- You need a USA Pickleball approved paddle
- You want power without swinging hard
How does the Jelly Bean 2 Hurache-X play?
The feel is soft, dense and muted with very little pop, so power is predictable: the more you put in, the more you get out. The gritty face adds spin, and it is easy to feel the ball on the paddle, which makes shaping shots more precise.
What are the strengths and trade-offs of the Jelly Bean 2 Hurache-X?
Its biggest edge is touch and spin from a soft face with durable grit. The main cost is low pop, so you supply most of the pace yourself.
Strengths
- Soft, muted feel with clear ball feedback
- Elite spin from the durable HexGrit face
- Predictable power that scales with swing
Trade-offs
- Very little pop off the face
- You supply most of the pace
- Not aimed at pure power hitters
