Pickleball enthusiasts are in for a treat as 11SIX24 is set to release the Jelly Bean 2, an upgraded version of the beloved budget pickleball paddle that debuted two years ago. The new Jelly Bean 2 promises to deliver even better performance at an affordable price, making it an exciting option for recreational players and reviewers alike.
The Jelly Bean 2 will be available in four signature shapes, including the Hurache-X (elongated), Vapor (hybrid), Ultré (hybrid), and Pegasus (widebody). All models will feature a 16mm thickness, UPA-A approval, and 11SIX24's proprietary HexGrit durable surface grit. According to founder Davis Groechel, the feel profile of the Jelly Bean 2 will be distinctly different from the current Power 2 lineup, with a focus on less power and more dwell thanks to a softer, denser foam core.

The Jelly Bean 2 is set to retail for $169.99 and will come in three distinct new designs. Some of the key features and upgrades of the Jelly Bean 2 include:
- Softer, denser foam core: Designed to provide a better feel and more dwell, allowing players to control the ball with ease.
- HexGrit durable surface grit: 11SIX24's proprietary surface material that provides a consistent and reliable playing experience.
- 16mm thickness: A standard thickness that provides a great balance between power and control.
- UPA-A approval: Ensuring that the Jelly Bean 2 meets the highest standards of quality and performance.
