11SIX24 Jelly Bean

The 8.15-ounce paddle uses a 16mm core and a composite face made from two layers of raw Toray T700 carbon fiber over fiberglass. That thick core and layered face point toward a softer, more controlled response. The 16.5-inch length and 7.5-inch width give it an elongated shape, while the six-inch handle leaves room for a two-handed backhand. Its 4.12-inch grip fits the common mid-size range.

Reviewers describe the Jelly Bean as a control paddle with strong spin and a soft feel. The elongated shape gives you more reach and serve leverage than a compact paddle, but it can be less stable on off-center hits. The 8.15-ounce weight should offer useful stability without making the paddle unusually heavy. It is USA Pickleball approved.

This paddle fits a soft-game approach built around dinks, drops, resets, and controlled drives. Reviewers report high spin and say the paddle offers good feel, but they do not position it as a power paddle. You will need to create much of your own pace on hard drives and serves.

The elongated shape helps when you want extra reach or grip room for a two-handed backhand. That reach comes with a trade-off at the net: hard shots near the edges can twist more than they would on a wider paddle. If quick hands and maximum stability matter most, a compact widebody deserves a look instead.
