Dan’s Take
The Ultré is built around a soft, dense 16 mm EMA foam core, while HEAD's Gravity PRO EX15 is 15 mm with an EPP foam core and a honeycomb perimeter. On our scale the HEAD takes power (10 vs 9.5), but the Ultré rates higher everywhere else: control 8.5 vs 8, spin 9.5 vs 9 and sweet spot 8.5 vs 8. It usually costs less, too.
The Ultré holds 4.8 out of 5 from 100+ ratings on 11SIX24's site; HEAD's site doesn't have enough buyer ratings for the Gravity yet. One catch: the Ultré is UPA-A certified but not on the USA Pickleball approved list. Pick the Ultré for spin and touch; pick the Gravity for sanctioned play or maximum power.
