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.
Paddletek Bantam TKO-C 14
A pure pop paddle. Counters come off the face faster than almost anything in the database, and the trade-off is a firm, chatty feel on soft shots.
