Verdicts
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.
RPM Pickleball Q2 Elongated 16mm
RPM's Gen 4 full-foam Q2 trades the Friction Pro's honeycomb feel for a firmer, more powerful response. The published 114 swing weight is lighter than most elongated power paddles, while the 6.1 twist weight is on the low side for the shape.
