Vapor Power 2

Neither they nor their partner got along with the Vapor Power 2, untuned.

“I have played the cyclone and vapor power 2. Neither my partner nor I jived with the vapor (didn’t experiment with weight though).”

They didn't like its feel as much as the Coral Pro.

“Personally I didn't like the feel of the Vapor Power 2 as much”

More powerful than the Loco, with amazing grit.

“It's more powerful than the Loco in my opinion and that grit is amazing👌”

Couldn't be happier after a grip swap; amazing spin.

“Let be the Vapor P2 (and the spin is amazing)!”

Took time to adjust after years with Hurache shapes, but with weight added they now prefer it.

“now that I've added weights at 10&2 and 5&7, I tried going back to the hurache x APP and it just felt so unfamiliar and I find myself preferring the vapor power 2 now.”

Didn't enjoy it stock, but with weight added they love the power, pop and sweet spot.

“weighted it up at three and nine and down the throat opened up the sweet spot and now absolutely love the paddle. Power is amazing pop is in a good place and the sweet spot is amazing.”

Their main paddle after also trying the Coral Pro, J2CR and Ultré.

“My main paddle is the vapor 2. I've also tried the coral pro and the J2cr, as well as the ultre”

Swing weight feels far too high next to their Ultré.

“My my vapor swing weight is so high. Its just a beef cakes compared to my ultre. Everytime I pick up the vapor 2 I just cant anymore.”

A frustrating start, but after break-in they feel fully in control.

“I know I definitely went through a frustrating phase with my Vapor Power 2. Either me getting used to it, or it breaking in (perhaps both), I feel like I'm in control of my paddle”

Calls it insane after maining it since launch.

“I have a similar experience with the Vapor Power 2. That thing is insane.”

The best of more than a dozen paddles they've owned.

“the 11six24 Vapor Power 2 is the best paddle I've ever had and I've gone through more than a dozen.”

After six doubles games: light but with decent power, easy to control, and feels more hollow than a V Sol Pro.

“I played the paddle stock and despite the light weight it had some decent power, similar to the V Sol and I could control it quite well.”

Three hours in: likes it a lot, with more toned-down power than their Loco.

“Just got mine today and played 3 hours straight with it. Have the Vsol pro and my long term main the Loco. I like the paddle a lot so far.”

A toned-down Loco with a big sweet spot and a solid feel, though some ball marks already.

“Similar to a toned down loco, similar really big sweet spot, slightly less springy, a little more pocketing feel.”

More control, stability and spin than the Vapor Alpha Pro Power.

“It has better control than the vapp. Basically a more stable, grittier vapp. Way more spin with maybe slightly more power?”

Very generous sweet spot, better spin than the Vapor APP and plays well at the kitchen.

“Just played with it and man the sweet spot is very generous.”

Plays well but feels soft and hollow, with less pop and power than their J2NF.

“It plays well but doesn’t have the pop and power I was thinking it would.”

Still like new after two months and 200+ hours with regular cleaning.

“i've had mine for 2 months now. My VP2 is still good as new. I clean it after every session or two. I've got probably over 200 hours.”

The grit felt smoother after just a week, despite cleaning.

“After a week, mine feels like its started to smoothen out”

After a month the grit has faded somewhat but is still grittier than a new standard paddle.

“After a month, mine is less gritty than when I first got it, but still more gritty than a normal new paddle.”

Not happy with it stock or with weight at 3 and 9; considering going back to their Luzz Cannon.

“I tried 4g at the 3 and 9 and im not loving it. Having no added weight felt way worse.”

Felt great but they returned it, preferring the elongated Hurache shape.

“I tried the Vapor Power 2 and ended up returning it. The paddle feels great but I used my friends Hurrache shape and it immediately felt better.”

Stock twist weight was too high for them, making it hard to shape the ball.

“The Vapors twist weight stock was even too high for what I prefer. It made shaping the ball too difficult in my opinion.”

Their pick of the Power 2 shapes after trying the Ultré (too poppy) and Pegasus (not enough power).

“Ive had every shape expect the hurrache-x. Settled on the vapor shape the ultre is to poppy for me. Pegasus didnt have enough power.”

Loves it; it softened nicely after 25–30 hours of break-in.

“I love my Vapor Power 2 but find everything about the Ultrè more appealing. Both great paddles (but need break-in time to really get them to shine )”

Played the best they ever have with it after switching from a Hurache-X Alpha Pro Power.

“I took it to play at and indoor facility for an extended period of time and i played the best i’ve ever played.”

Loves it out of the box: nice feel, insane spin and a much bigger sweet spot than their Jelly Bean.

“my Power2 arrived yesterday. I did some drilling this morning and wow do I love this paddle right out of the box. The feel is very nice. The spin while new is insane”

Dis-bonded after two days; replaced under warranty.

“Happened to me after 2 days of playing, they replaced it under warranty. Vapor shape.”

Delaminated about seven weeks after arriving.

“coming back to this comment that I remember posting. my vapor power 2 officially delaminated yesterday lol.”

Developed the same one-sided soft spot; the warranty response was quick.

“My vapor power 2 also did this. Just filed my warranty claim and they responded quickly.”

After a month one face turned soft and springy, making it almost unplayable.

“The problematic side feels significantly softer / mushier and has a sponge / springy feeling.”

Seemingly even better than the original Vapor Power, with great grit; they loved their first day with it.

“I get the 2nd version of it in white, and it’s seemingly even better but with great surface grit. Genuinely loved playing with it yesterday.”

Two broken-in units they tried played notably stiff.

“I played with two separate vapor 2 powers that were supposedly used for over a month - by owners who play at least 2-3 times a week. I thought they played notably stiff”

Much more enjoyable than their old budget paddle, with a bigger sweet spot and extra power and spin.

“I definitely have a more enjoyable playing experience with my Vapor power 2 than I with my old $50 paddle though. I like having a bigger sweet spot and getting the extra power and spin.”

Felt soft and spongy on drives stock; much better once perimeter weight was added.

“I did not like the way the Vapor Power 2 played without perimeter weighting. It felt very soft and spongy on drives and returns”

Got rid of it because the core felt as stiff as wood.

“I got tid of my vapor power 2 cause it felt like the core was made out of wood, so stiff.”

Switched to it after their old paddle's grit wore out; with side weight the sweet spot grew and resets got easier.

“I put weighted from 3 and 9 down to the throat. It expended the sweet spot and made it easier to reset.”

Their current paddle; the grit and spin are excellent.

“yeah I have the Vapor 2 at the moment and agree with the grit/spin, pretty nuts TBH”

Their Vapor Power 2 from February is still very gritty.

“My Vapor Power 2 from February is still gritty as hell.”

Since just after release, 8–10 hours a week, no noticeable spin loss on their Vapor Power 2.

“Got it a week or 2 after release. Play like 8-10 hours a week. Zero noticeable loss of spin.”

Hit a friend's Vapor Power 2 unweighted and didn't connect with its hollow feel.

“I hit my friends Vapor 2 when he got it to decide if I wanted to get it. Felt hollow. I didn’t like it.”

Loves their Vapor Power 2, though a friend received two defective Vapors.

“I love my VP2, but my friend got 2 vapors that were so hilariously fucked up”

Their Vapor Power 2 is very loud, sometimes ringing their ears on smashes, but it plays great.

“I have had people say my Vapor Power 2 is very loud...and it also has made my ears ring when smashing at times. But the paddle seems to play great”

Poppy and hard to control for a long time.

“VP2 is poppy and I found it hard to control for a long time.”

Seven months in and loves it; great for drops.

“I've played the VP2 for 7 months. I love it. I have only 1 1/2 gms at 3 and 9. Great paddle for drops.”

Sold it because they couldn't control the power, even with weights.

“I had to sell my VP2 because I couldn’t control the power output. It felt too muted for me to tell how much I need to dial back even after weights.”

The biggest leap of all their paddles for a spin-heavy game, thanks to the durable grit.

“I tried the Vapor Power 2 w/the durable grit-it's the biggest leap by far.”

The face debonded after a couple of weeks; the replacement came within a week.

“My vapor power 2 debonded as well after a couple weeks. I got a replacement within a week as well”

Disbonded after three months, turning a crisp sound into a hollow thud with inconsistent output.

“after having had played with it for 3 months I absolutely knew something was wrong the moment it was disbonded and I hit a ball.”

The best paddle they've ever used.

“I play with the vapor power 2 and it’s the best paddle I’ve ever used.”

Fell in love with it immediately.

“I have been playing with the Vapor Power 2 for a while and fell in love with it immediately.”

Better in every way than the Joola Pro IV Hyperion after five hours, with more spin and a bigger sweet spot.

“the Power 2 is better in every way, particularly way more spin and a bigger sweet spot.”

Loves it; keeping it clean keeps the grit going.

“I got the vapor 2 on release day and it showed up 3 days later. Love that paddle.”

Not bad, but they didn't like how it played and sold it, though they love the HexGrit.

“I had both the vapor and hurache power 2 but got rid of both. They weren't bad paddles. Just did not like the way they played.”

Since late March the Vapor Power 2 is still grittier than a new Gen 3 paddle and the power hasn't died; only an edge guard started lifting and was glued down.

“I've had my vapor power 2 since late March and it is still more gritty than a new GEN3”

Six months maining the Vapor Power 2 and very content with it.

“Been maining the VP2 for 6 months”

Since April the Vapor Power 2's grit has held up, with only a small difference against a brand-new one.

“I've had my Vapor Power 2 since April and the grit has held up”

Five months and roughly 400–500 games on a Vapor Power 2: the forehand side feels slightly smoother, but spin isn't noticeably worse.

“spin is not noticeably worse.”

Has tried every Power 2 and likes the Vapor Power 2 least: the sweet spot is a bit dead along the top edge.

“There is something funky about the sweet spot of that paddle. It's a bit dead along the top edge.”

Rates the Vapor Power 2 9/10; durable grit really delivers and they couldn't go back to raw carbon.

“Had the Vapor Power 2 and give that 9/10.”

Finds the Vapor Power 2 loud and poppy next to the softer Jelly Bean 2.

“Vapor is loud and poppy, JB is soft and mute.”

Found the Vapor Power 2 numb, more so than the Ultré.

Sold their Vapor Power 2 after three weeks over the same stiff feel and power complaints.

“I had a Vapor Power 2 that I played for about three weeks, and then I sold it.”

Has had the Vapor Power 2 since launch with no noticeable grit wear, just slight greying.

“Vapor Power 2 hasn't really degraded noticeably, if any, and I got it at launch.”

Compared their Vapor Power 2 with a J2CR and Coral Pro; all agreed its grit is superior.

“We all agreed that the grit on the 11six24 paddle is superior to the others.”

Since March, at 12–16 hours a week, no spin loss on the Vapor Power 2, just slightly smoother near the throat.

“Got my Vapor power 2 back in March. No degradation in spin”

Still feels brand new after eight months at 8–10 hours a week.

“My 11624 vapor power 2 still feels brand new after 8 months and I play 8-10 hours per week.”

The best paddle they've had, despite owning a Boomstik, Loco, Inferno, Joola and Omni: the grit lets them hit with power and keep it low with high spin.

“Had the vapor power 2. Best paddle i had to the point that i rely on it so much.”

Of the four Power 2 shapes the Vapor feels a bit dead along the top edge with the worst sweet spot, improved somewhat with weight.

“The Vapor2 is a bit dead along the top edge, and it feels like it has the worst sweet spot, it can be improved with some weight though.”

Moved from a Perseus IV clone to the Vapor Power 2 and struggles to control it: dinks short or long, drives flying out, and too stiff.

“I am having problem controlling it (dinks are short or long, drives often fly out). It also feels too stiff”
