“This is an outstanding power paddle. I like that it also offers control. The gritty texture provides control and amazing spin. It is a sturdy paddle. There is a good sweet spot. The grip is comfortable. The length allows for a two handed backhand. The paddle is USAPA approved. I like the burgundy paddle surface too. I am very happy with the 11-0 and how it has improved my game.”
“I have been using this paddle for about a week now, and my usual go-to paddle is a Joola Hyperion C2 Simone Jardine model paddle, which I'll use here for comparison.
The 11-0 feels good in your hand, and was even better after I added 4-5 oz of lead tape along the throat and lower sides of the paddle. Before doing that, the paddle actually felt like it was rattling when I made a shot just to one side or the other of the sweet spot in the middle. The 16mm thickness is good, and gives a soft touch when handling incoming drives. The ball pops off the paddle when making drives.
I prefer the shape of the Joola, since it has a rounded tip instead of a the flat one on the 11-0. I sometimes need just that little extra bit of reach that it provides.
I have no complaints about the handle and grip of the 11-0.
The surface of this new 11-0 is slightly rougher than my Joola, producing better spin (at least while it's still new).
The current price of both paddles is the same, and with this in mind, and having played with both, I would opt for the Joola over the 11-0.
It's still a sold paddle, but for me and my non-power game, I prefer the Joola.
11-0 rating 4/5 stars”
“This paddle has a lot of spin and power. The kevlar face probably helps with both a large sweet spot and shock absorption. Good touch at the net. Love the understated design. The long handle also allows me to try out a two handed backhand. I would classify this more as a power paddle than a control paddle but with the good spin, I can crank a lot of shots with spin to keep balls in court.”
“I've been playing Pickleball for more than 3 yeara now, and I've been using Joola brand which is fantastic and pricey, but since I got this one, I'm in love with the functionality. Firstly, I like how the grip is which fits just great in my hands. Second, Eleven Zero has lower weight, but still I can hit the ball stronger than Joola. Third, price is more affordable, so it's about $100 less and it's worth it.”
“This is a great paddle. I am definitely a novice at pickleball but I do know quality when I see and feel it. The surface is made of Kevlar and has a good surface. The grip feels good and I love the way it hits. This is going to be my everyday paddle.”
“This is a great paddle. I have tested dozens of paddles over the years but this is my first from the company. This is a great, intermediate to pro level paddle at a price that seems fairly reasonable. This paddle is light weight and has a remarkable sweet spot. I was really able to send some balls with this one. The handle is also comfortable, and the balance of this paddle is top notch.”
“Definitely a much better racket than standard cheaper models. The surface feels better, the handle, the weight all in my experience and opinion are so much better.
Being lighter gives more power naturally, having better grip on the surface alone won’t help with control but once you practice with it and adjust how you swing your racket with the new found control you can easily make some huge improvements.
It being officially sanctioned or accepted too is a huge plus. So no one can cry you’re cheating if they know what you’re using.
11-0 a fitting name for sure”
