The Honolulu J6CR is one of the best paddles I’ve played with. I’ve played with dozens of the top paddles over the past couple years. It’s got excellent power with control at the kitchen for dinking and it has good pop for speed ups and counters. The ball comes off more linear off of this paddle face than most other paddles, which helps your shots to be much more accurate. Sweet spot is good and with a little weight it’s top-tier and gives great plow through.
Watched a lot of reviews and the paddle is all that I was looking for. Plenty of pop, good control and crazy spin…a player at open play wanted to know if I was spinning the balI with my hand, I did not, all paddle.
The Honolulu J2NFK paddle was shipped on time and came with a cover! It's a great paddle, very comparable to the Joola Scorpeus but less expensive. It's a nice combination of power and control, and I love it!

I am loving this Honolulu J2FC+ paddle
I am loving this Honolulu J2FC+ paddle with the extended 6" handle. What a great mix of controllable power, touch and incredible spin. Took just a little while to get used to the sound of my first foam paddle but now I just enjoy the difference it is already making in my game. Other players have commented on my cannon-like and topspin-heavy serves and my corkscrew serves have more curve that ever before. The huge sweet spot and stability is especially great at the kitchen line. Frankly, the extra 3 grams of weight at the 3:00 and 9:00 positions may not have been necessary because the paddle was already super stable. I actually moved them slightly closer to the 2:00 and 10:00positions to add just a touch of power that has paid off on serves and drives. You cannot go wrong with this paddle and I now understand and agree with the fantastic reviews to date.
FYI - I added the Alien Pros ridged overgrip due to my large hands. I also added edge guard tape as well. The paddle now weighs close to 9 oz., but it is still extremely balanced and responsive.

Really soft & comfortable grip
Really soft & comfortable grip. It has enough tack that it won't slip.not too much that you can't easily adjust your grip while playing.

J2 NF: Performance at any level
My first experience with a foam core paddle was the Diadem Vice. I’ve tried to find a foam core paddle that was approved, even though I only play rec pickleball, and the J2NF is the closest, much better than my CRBN Genesis 3. With 6 grams of weight at the 3&9 positions, the J2NF is my most favorite paddle. I did try the J2 NFK first and the NF has the touch and feel I prefer, with loads of power when you need it.
