11SIX24's current roster says Dekel Bar plays the Ultré Power 2, while his PPA Tour profile still lists the Vapor Power 2. His exact current model, playing weight, added weight, tape placement, grip build, overgrip, shoes and apparel are pending.
Dekel Bar is a right-handed professional pickleball player from Israel who turned pro in 2018 and resides in Austin, Texas. He competes on the PPA Tour and played for the Palm Beach Royals during the 2026 Major League Pickleball season.

What is on the record now?
A sponsor deal or product page tells you the brand and model, not the exact match paddle, weight, or tape. Each field below shows its own source and date.
11SIX24, his sponsor, lists the Ultré Power 2 on its live pro roster, and a June 2026 article image shows him hitting with it (identified by that article's editor). His PPA Tour profile may not have been updated.
One of the two live-source candidates for Dekel Bar's current paddle. The 11SIX24 pro roster names the Ultré Power 2, while his PPA Tour profile still names the Vapor Power 2, so this gear record does not resolve which model he currently plays.
The live manufacturer roster and live tour profile disagree. A June 2026 editorial image identification supports the Ultré candidate, but no dated player statement, brand announcement or match report establishes a switch, so the exact current model remains pending.

Shoes
Pending
No current shoe brand or model is confirmed. The PPA profile lists only a paddle, and the pickleball.com Sponsors tab has empty Primary Sponsors and Other Sponsors sections.
16mm retail core for both current-model candidates. Both the Ultré Power 2 and Vapor Power 2 official specifications list 16mm. This is a retail-model specification, not a measurement of Bar's own paddle.
Model specifications describe the retail paddle. A player may use a custom build; we have not measured their paddle.
11SIX24, his sponsor, lists the Ultré Power 2 on its live pro roster, and a June 2026 article image shows him hitting with it (identified by that article's editor). His PPA Tour profile may not have been updated.
The live manufacturer roster and live tour profile disagree. A June 2026 editorial image identification supports the Ultré candidate, but no dated player statement, brand announcement or match report establishes a switch, so the exact current model remains pending.
Hybrid shape, 16.25 x 7.75 in, 16mm Gen 4 full foam floating core, HexGrit face, 8.0-8.3 oz stock range, 108-112 swingweight, 6.6-6.8 twistweight and UPA-A approval
The factory specifications differ because the live sources name different models. Neither specification establishes a custom or pro-only build for Bar.
11SIX24 publishes an 8.0-8.3 oz retail range for the Vapor Power 2, but no stock range on the official Ultré specification page and no measurement of Bar's playing paddle.
Tape placement for Dekel Bar's current paddle is pending. See the 9 other pros with sourced setups in the pro lead and tungsten tape guide.

Historical report
The Kitchen observed the Vapor Power 2 at the January PPA Tour Masters and reported in February that Bar had used it since early January. The PPA profile still names this model, while 11SIX24's live roster now names the Ultré Power 2. No early-2026 custom weight, tape, grip, overgrip or shoe detail was found.
Official history lists bronze in Mixed Doubles with Anna Bright; event end date 2024-12-22 (bronze match date not separately listed).
Window: Nov 9, 2023 to Nov 9, 2026. Selected verified results, ordered by finish and then date. This record may not cover every tournament appearance. Tournament results do not establish which paddle was used.

JOOLA→11SIX24
Date basis is the first fetched publication announcing the new relationship. The Dink also reports Bar's own farewell to JOOLA shortly before the announcement.
The public sources conflict. 11SIX24's live pro roster names the Ultré Power 2, and a June 2026 Kitchen image identification supports that model, while the live PPA Tour profile still names the Vapor Power 2. No dated player statement, manufacturer switch announcement or match report found in this pass resolves which model is current.
Both publicly named model candidates have a 16mm retail core per 11SIX24. That shared factory specification does not confirm whether Bar plays a custom or pro-only build.
Pending. The Vapor Power 2 retail range is 8.0-8.3 oz, the official Ultré specification page publishes no stock weight, and no source reports the weight of Bar's paddle as played.
Pending. 11SIX24 publishes factory handle dimensions and a generic comfort cushion grip for the Vapor, but no source describes Bar's grip build, undergrip or overgrip.
Pending. His PPA Tour profile publishes no shoe entry, and the live pickleball.com Sponsors tab names no primary or other sponsor, so no current footwear brand or model is confirmed.
