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.
Volair Mach 2 Forza 16
Volair's second-gen Forza adds foam walls without adding swing weight past 115. Power 88 and stability 88 make it a genuine tournament option.
