11SIX24 Unboxing: First Look at New Paddles, Bag, and Accessories

Unboxing days are always exciting—especially when it's a fresh shipment from 11SIX24 Pickleball. Today, I’m diving into a box filled with new gear, from paddles to overgrips, and even a premium pickleball bag.

If you're curious about the latest in paddle designs and accessories, you're in the right place. Let’s break down what’s new from 11SIX24 and see how these products hold up in terms of design, feel, and practicality. Want the full experience? Click the link to watch the full video on YouTube.

The 11SIX24 Pickleball Bag: Surprisingly Spacious

First up from the box? The 11SIX24 Pickleball Bag. At first glance, it looks compact—but it’s designed with some serious storage power.

Key Features of the Bag:

  • Front Pocket: Perfect for small items like your phone, overgrips, or anything you need quick access to.
  • Ventilated Shoe Compartment: Deep and breathable, ideal for keeping shoes separate from the rest of your gear.
  • Interior Mesh Pouch: Great for organizing smaller items, like keys or a wallet.
  • Hidden Compartment: Discreet storage for valuables, keeping them secure during matches.
  • Large Main Cavity: Big enough to handle serious paddle storage and other court essentials.
  • Multiple Access Points: Three separate zippers make it easy to get into different sections of the bag.
  • Water Bottle Pocket: Side storage that's easy to access, roomy enough for a bottle or extra pickleballs.
  • Durable YKK Zippers: Heavy-duty and smooth, designed for long-lasting performance.

How Much Can It Hold?

Let’s talk capacity. I managed to fit 12 paddles—with head covers—into this bag, and there was still room for two more. If you’re someone who likes to bring a full arsenal to the courts, this bag is absolutely up to the task.

"This bag is deceptively spacious, and I love how lightweight it feels without feeling cheap," I noted while testing.

Premium Edge Tape: Protection Meets Style

Next in the box? The 11SIX24 Premium Edge Tape.

I’ll be honest—I’ve never been big on using edge tape, but with these paddles, I’m making an exception. Why?

  • Durable Design: Built to protect your paddle edges from wear and tear.
  • Easy Application: Simple to install and fits snugly.
  • Stylish Look: Complements the aesthetic of the paddles without being too flashy.

If you care about prolonging the life of your paddle, edge tape is a smart investment, and this one looks like it will do the job while adding a little extra flair.

Vulcan V-Pro Flight Pickleballs

No unboxing is complete without some fresh pickleballs. This box included two Vulcan V-Pro Flight pickleballs.

  • Feel: Denser than softer models like the X4s, closer in density to Selkirks or Lifetime balls.
  • Durability: These feel like they can handle plenty of hard play.
  • Performance: We'll see how they play in the long run, but my first impression is solid.

And yes, they’ll fit perfectly in the 11SIX24 bag for easy transport.

11SIX24 Overgrips: High Performance, Low Cost

If you’re picky about overgrips, this is where things get interesting. The 11SIX24 overgrips struck an immediate chord.

  • Tacky but Not Too Tacky: Just the right balance—enough grip without being overly sticky.
  • Spongy Feel: Reminds me a lot of the Luky Tactician overgrips but at a much lower price.
  • Affordable: A 10-pack is around $12, making it an incredible deal.

"These feel amazing—similar to premium brands but for half the price. For $12, this is a no-brainer," I noted.

And while the grip itself is unbranded, the finishing tape sports the 11SIX24 logo for a clean, professional look.

The Power Paddle Lineup: First Impressions

Now for the stars of the show—three 16mm power paddles from 11SIX24. Each one offers a unique shape and feel, but they all promise serious performance.

1. The Pegasus Power 16mm

  • Shape: Formerly known as the Monarch shape, this paddle now carries the Pegasus title.
  • Grip: Solid grit, though I'm not overly sensitive to grit variations.
  • Feel: Lightweight but stable—this one is definitely getting some heavy playtime.

"This paddle looks incredible and feels ready for action. It’s got great grit and solid balance."

2. The Vapor Power 16mm

  • Shape: 11SIX24’s hybrid design, known for its balance between control and power.
  • Aesthetic: Beautiful gradients and sleek design. This one’s going to look great paired with the premium edge tape.
  • First Game Choice: Of the three, this is the one I’m itching to test first.

"The Vapor shape is awesome. The colorway is clean, and it feels super well-balanced."

3. The Hurache-X Power 16mm

  • Handle Length: Feels longer than the others—likely a 6-inch handle similar to the OG Hurache-X Control Plus.
  • Grip: Substantial in hand, ideal for players who prefer a longer reach or double-handed backhands.
  • Design: Clean, minimal, and aggressive.

"This paddle feels solid, with just a bit more handle length. It’s perfect for players who like that extra grip space."

Final Thoughts: How Does 11SIX24 Stack Up?

From paddles to accessories, 11SIX24 is delivering serious value and style.

  • The bag is impressively spacious, lightweight, and practical for players who carry a lot of gear.
  • The overgrips are top-tier—especially at their price point.
  • The paddles? They look and feel premium, with enough variety in shapes and handle sizes to suit different playing styles.

Which Paddle Will Get the Most Play?

Right now, the Vapor Power is calling my name. The shape, balance, and design are all dialed in. But each of these paddles has something unique to offer, and I can’t wait to put them all to the test.

Are They Worth It?

  • If you're looking for affordable, high-performance overgrips, grab the 11SIX24 pack.
  • Need a solid, lightweight bag with tons of room? This one’s a win.
  • And if you want to experience some of the most exciting new paddles hitting the market in 2025, the Pegasus, Vapor, and Hurache-X are worth checking out.

Stay tuned for the playtests to see how these paddles perform on the court.

About 
11SIX24 Pickleball
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.
