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.
Six Zero Black Diamond Power 16
Six Zero finally built a power paddle. Pop 88 and power 90 at $180 undercut every flagship drive paddle in the database, and the DBD forgiveness DNA mostly survives the switch.
