11six24 HexGrit Durability Test: 300 Games Later, Spin Still Holds Strong

Main Points

HexGrit durability was tested over 300 games, making it one of the longest tracked paddle wear tests discussed in this video.
Spin loss was minimal, with the paddle dropping from 2122 RPM to 2029 RPM after 300 games.
The HexGrit surface appears to hold up far better than typical raw carbon fiber faces, which often lose spin much faster.
Even with strong durability, the paddle’s core and overall feel may not suit every player’s preference.
The discussion suggests a better core paired with HexGrit could make for a very strong future paddle design.

Summary

This video focuses on a long-term durability test of the 11Six24 HexGrit paddle surface. After 300 games, the paddle still shows very little wear, which is impressive compared with many raw carbon fiber paddles that lose spin much faster over time.

The spin test results are the biggest takeaway. The paddle started at 2122 RPM and was still at 2029 RPM after 300 games, a drop of less than 100 RPM. That level of consistency stands out and suggests HexGrit is one of the more durable spin surfaces currently being tracked.

The discussion also compares HexGrit to other paddle faces, including raw carbon fiber and other grit styles. While the durability is excellent, the paddle’s feel and core are not ideal for everyone, and that could keep some players from choosing it despite the strong surface performance.

Overall, this video shows that HexGrit has serious long-term potential for players who care about spin retention and paddle longevity. The surface may be the hardest part to perfect, and once that is solved, future models could offer a very appealing combination of durability and playability.
