Verdicts
Gearbox CX14E Ultimate Power
A more livable Gearbox. It keeps most of the drive velocity of the Pro Power while adding enough stability to survive hands battles.
Honolulu J6CR
Honolulu's multi-density all-foam core paired with a carbon and fiberglass face — the fiberglass adds free pop that the all-carbon J2CR does not give you.
