Verdicts
Honolulu J6CR Crystal Blue Endurance Surface
The J6CR shape, core and handle with Honolulu's Crystal Blue Endurance Surface. Honolulu publishes the same weight (8.0-8.2 oz), swing weight (111-116) and twist weight (6.2-6.7) ranges for both versions, so the face is the change.
ONIX Evoke Premier Pro
Onix finally thermoformed the Evoke. It hits noticeably harder than the standard Premier while keeping the wide standard shape that made the original forgiving.
