Wow! Have had a handful of paddles in just under a year of playing. My last one was a J2FC+ i bought used from a friend to try it out ... it became my main paddle. Decided to get the J2CR due to similar shape and playability. It was deemed to be a bit hotter than the J2FC+, and I agree. After 3 sessions with it, I started to dial it in, and got confident on my topspin with it. Friends were like "let me take a look at that". I told them it was becoming familiar but not to forget the paddle doesn't make all those cool shots by itself 😀
