Things the paddles have in common

- 6” grip length (great for 2-handed backhands)
- 16.5” paddle length (elongated shape)
- 7.5” paddle width
- 4.125” grip circumference
- Thermoformed edges (tends to be more robust)
- Great amount of spin
- Amazing value
- Free neoprene paddle cover
- USA Pickleball Approved
With all of these amazing attributes, this could be one of the best deals in Pickleball right now.
Hurache-X Control | $212 Canadian ~ $149.99 USD
- This is the newer of the two paddles & is more “control” oriented
- Grey edge guard (this is the easiest way to tell it apart from the Control+)
- Two paddle thickness
- 14mm
- 16mm
- 4 layer surface construction
- 3 layers carbon fibre
- 1 top layer of kevlar
Thoughts/opinions (16mm variation)*
- Slightly heavier weight (though it feels better balanced than the Control+)
- The Control+ plays a bit better with some tape on the top of the paddle where the Control plays perfectly with no extra weighting
- Drastically different feel due to the kevlar face
- Ball tends to dwell a little bit longer on the face allowing for more precise placement
- This requires a bit more of a swing/power when dinking but find it’s easier to control
- Still good amount of power but definitely less than what you get from the Control+
- As I personally don’t need any help generating power, the slightly softer paddle face of the Control allowed me to have more confidence in my baseline returns/serves staying inbounds
- Found the Control+ could be a bit more unpredictable in this regard
- Larger sweet spot compared to the Control+
- Can really feel (& hear) this on any mishits as it’s a lot more forgiving near the edges whereas the Control+ has a more defined sweet spot
- Paddle face tends to mark up quicker vs. Control+
- Likely due to the top kevlar layer
Who is this paddle for?
- Someone looking for a more control-oriented game
- Someone who wants to have the option to select between a 14mm & 16mm paddle
- Someone who prioritizes spin
- Someone who can generate their own power but wants to place the ball very precisely

Hurache-X Control+ | $198 Canadian ~ $139.99 USD
- This is the more “power” oriented of the two paddles
- Black edge guard
- One paddle thickness (16mm)
- 3 layer surface construction
- 2 layers carbon fibre
- 1 layer fibreglass
Thoughts/Opinions
- Very poppy surface compared to the Control
- Ball releases much faster off the paddle with very little effort
- Very helpful from the baseline but found it a bit more prone to pop-up high when dinking/playing at the kitchen
- Generates a lot of power compared to the Control
- Even with the slightest flick of your wrist, this paddle generates a lot of power due to the paddle construction (fibreglass/carbon fibre combination does this)
- For me, I actually found it to be a bit too much power & required me to pull back a lot on my swing to keep the ball in play
- My mom loves the way this paddle plays since it helps her generate power on her shots
- Smaller defined sweet spot that seems to get better with more usage
- Initially I found the sweet spot on the paddle to be quite narrow in the centre but this seemed to grow (marginally) the more I used it
- Can really hear the difference when hitting on the edges of the paddle
Who is this paddle for?
- Power-focused players
- People who need help generating power on their shots
- Someone that experiences shoulder fatigue
- As you need to swing with less intensity, it helps reduce muscle usage

Which paddle do I prefer?
- I personally prefer the Control vs. the Control+
- Knowing I can continuously place the ball where I want on my serves/drives/dinks gives me a sense of confidence I didn’t necessarily get from the Control+
- Once I got used to it (took maybe 2-3 games), I was able to have a lot of diversity in my play by using power at certain times & control/finesse at other instances

My Control + has been a game changer for me. Having a surgery repaired shoulder it's definitely the paddle for by far. Not mention the quality/cost ratio is unbeatable. Great video!
Nicely said! My favorite paddle so far! After the break-in period, I had to place 3gr at the 4 & 8 positions to reduce pop and increase a little bit the sweet spot. My shoulder loves it! ;)
Enjoyed the review. I have the Hurache Control + and love the extra power it gives me during my serves and drives. It did take me sometime to get the feel to get better control
Thanks for the review. I have been using the control + carbon fiber version for a month now. I agree it has too much power for my needs and less control and smallish sweat spot. I ordered this paddle after your review using your discount code. I hope this makes the difference I need.Thanks.
I hope you love the Control! It definitely has an adjustment period coming from the Control+ but once you get it, it’s fantastic. Appreciate you using my code 😃
Great video, couldn't believe you hadn't posted before! I have the Control shipping in this week and as a tennis player who generates plenty of power myself, I would agree with you that it sounds like a great fit. I have the Control+ but found it to be relatively low on spin and that extra pop lead to less confidence to swing out.
You should really enjoy the Control! Definitely has a different feel which takes a bit of getting used to but overall a much more confidence-inspiring paddle
Wow you and I have the same conclusions. I have a tennis background too and I have the Control + carbon face and it has to much power for me and less spin then I want and the pop is to much. Please update your findings. Thanks.
@@braddevendorf9901 Hey Brad, been playing with the Kevlar 16 for about 10 hrs and I love it so far. The lower pop gives me so much more confidence in resets and kitchen rallies without feeling under powered. The spin is better than the Control+ too, much better dwell time. I asked the owner for a lighter one as well so mine is plenty fast in hands battles. Very satisfied.
Bro, this review was nicely done! Bueno! I enjoyed a myriad of review videos, but used your code. Hope it helps! Getting my 14mm X-Control today. Hope my B&B Loco doesn't get jelly!
Let me know how the 14mm Control is, super interested to hear what it’s like as I’m close to buying one myself! Appreciate you using my code 😃
@@RYE3DPrinting Got my 14. Day 1 was an adjustment day coming from a Loco. Had trouble getting my drops and resets down. Weight/balance feels light/agile. Love the improved plow thru/power on my ground strokes. Day 2 was MUCH better with drops and resets. Perhaps the Kevlar surface broke in… perhaps I’ve adjusted. Dunno. Felt really really good. I likey. You’ll prolly have a much better perspective as you’ve played with the other paddles. Hope this helps. 🤙🏼
@@RickGomez707 appreciate the update! I’ve definitely noticed the Kevlar face plays better after a week or two of use, gets much more consistent. Will be interesting to see if the same happens with the 14mm for you!
4:16 fyi, the Hurache-X Control+ has both 16mm and 14mm versions too. Don’t know if that’s a recent addition since you recorded this review
The 14mm Control+ just got released this past week so wasn’t included. Definitely wish I had it to try out!
Just a quick question. Do they have the control paddle but in the black. Not the power one but the control one. And I will definitely be checking out this store. Thanks for the video.
To my knowledge the Control only comes in grey while the Control+ is all black.
You can definitely buy them online from other stores in Canada
Which stores? I looked around previously and didn’t see anyone selling 11Six24 paddles
What are your thoughts on the 14 vs 16 for the Control (Kevlar)?
Unfortunately I only have the 16mm version so can’t personally comment on what the 14mm plays like.
Would lead tape help the Hurache control + with the sweet spot?
Yes, same as any other paddle.
Where is this facility?
The Jar in Toronto
