Honolulu J2CR vs J3CR vs J6CR: Which Shape Suits You?

Honolulu Pickleball's Crystal Blue J series is built around the same technology in three shapes. Choosing between them comes down to how you like a paddle to feel.

What They Share

  • Core Reactor technology with Dynamic PowerFlex and Control Joint technology for pop with predictable control.
  • A 16mm multi density, all foam floating core.
  • Crystal Blue Endurance Surface, a crystal infused texture built for controlled grip and long term durability.
  • UPA A approval, a one year warranty, and a premium waterproof cover included.

J2CR: Aero Hybrid Plus

The J2CR uses Honolulu's improved hybrid shape, which combines elongated power with the control of a standard shape. It measures 16.2 by 7.8 inches with a 5.5 or 6 inch grip, swing weight 110 to 114 and twist weight 7. Suits advanced beginners to pro level players.

J3CR: Aero Standard Square

The J3CR is the square option at 16 by 8 inches with a 6 inch grip, swing weight 108 to 113 and twist weight 6.8 to 7.1. The widest face gives the most forgiveness, and Honolulu rates it for beginners through to pros. Available in blue and white.

J6CR: Optimised Elongated

The J6CR builds on the J2's long handle shape with an extended face and chopped top aero curve, at 16.48 by 7.52 inches. More mass sits toward the head, giving the highest swing weight (111 to 116) and the most power in the trio. Available in blue and white.
