11SIX24 Power Paddles Launching February 7
Pickleball players, take note: the highly anticipated 11SIX24 Power paddle lineup is set to launch on February 7. While full details haven’t been released yet, here’s a glimpse at what’s to come based on the information currently available.
Key Features of the Power Paddles
Though we’re awaiting the official specs, here’s what we know so far about the 11SIX24 Power lineup:
Full Carbon Face
The paddles feature a full carbon fiber face, offering:
- Powerful Strikes: Carbon fiber enhances energy transfer, giving your shots more power.
- Precision Play: Its stiffness allows for better shot control and responsiveness.
EVA Foam Surround
These paddles utilize an EVA foam surround, a closed-cell material chosen for its superior durability and impact resistance.
- Why EVA? Unlike open-cell foams (e.g., styrofoam), EVA foam is more robust and durable, similar to the material used in yoga mats. This ensures the paddles stand up to repeated high-impact play.
More Details Coming Soon
As we count down to the February 7 launch, more details about the 11SIX24 Power paddles will be revealed. Expect insights into paddle specifications, player feedback, and availability closer to the release date.
For now, it’s clear that this lineup aims to combine durability and performance in a way that sets it apart from the competition. Stay tuned for updates as we get closer to launch day!

Company Information
11SIX24 Pickleball was conceived out of necessity, transformed into an idea, and finally, took form in April 2023. It all started with my personal predicament. Like many avid pickleball enthusiasts, I invested in an expensive $220 paddle, believing that quality comes with a price. However, the paddle cracked after only three months of play 4-6 times a week. This led me to question the notion of "value" in the pickleball equipment market.
