Honolulu Pickleball J6M+ "Jam Paddle" 16mm
Proven Classic Design. Softer Touch. Serious Power.

Performance Technology
Classic Plus Generation 4 Floating-Core Design
The J6M+ features Honolulu Pickleball's proven Classic Plus construction, combining a fully floated MPP core with an EVA outer ring.
Developed from the company's early Generation 4 floating-core technology, this construction has been refined to deliver a softer, more connected playing experience while maintaining strong attacking power.
The Classic Plus design was held in Honolulu's development programme for nearly two years before being paired with the Crystal Blue™ Endurance Surface™ and undergoing extensive playtesting.
Unlike the Core Reactor series, the J6M+ uses the classic fully floated construction without Dynamic PowerFlex™ Technology.
Fully Floated MPP Core with EVA Outer Ring
At the heart of the J6M+ is a 16mm multi-density MPP foam core surrounded by an EVA outer ring.
This construction produces a softer bottom-end response with increased dwell time and deeper ball pocketing, helping players execute controlled touch shots with greater confidence.
The lively, responsive rebound allows players to transition naturally from soft exchanges to aggressive attacking shots.
- Soft, cushioned feel during controlled shots.
- Longer dwell time and deeper ball pocketing.
- Responsive rebound for attacking opportunities.
- Power-focused performance with controlled short-game capability.
Crystal Blue™ Endurance Surface™ with Blue Grit™
The patent-pending Crystal Blue™ Endurance Surface™ uses a precision crystal-infused particulate encapsulation process featuring mechanically interlocked Blue Crystal media.
This advanced surface technology is engineered to deliver controlled texture, exceptional ball grip, high spin performance, and long-term surface durability.
Unlike conventional cosmetic coatings, Crystal Blue™ is designed to prioritise functional performance, resulting in a distinctive surface appearance that naturally varies between paddles.
- Patent-pending crystal-infused surface technology.
- Blue Grit™ texture for enhanced ball bite.
- High spin generation and consistent performance.
- Engineered for long-term surface durability.
Elongated Shape & Perimeter-Balanced Construction
The J6M+ features an elongated 16.48" × 7.52" profile combined with thermocompression forming and perimeter-balanced construction.
With a swingweight range of 111–116 and twistweight range of 6.2–6.7, the paddle is designed to offer responsive handling, a large sweet spot, and confident control alongside its attacking capabilities.
Why Choose the J6M+ Jam Paddle?
The Honolulu Pickleball J6M+ is ideal for players who enjoy a soft, cushioned feel but still want the power and pop needed to finish points.
Its combination of a fully floated MPP core, EVA outer ring, and Crystal Blue™ Endurance Surface™ delivers longer dwell time, deeper ball pocketing, high spin performance, and a responsive rebound.
Suitable for advanced beginners through to professional-level players, the J6M+ offers a versatile playing experience for those who prioritise touch, control, spin, and attacking power.

Crystal Blue™ Endurance Surface™ – Natural Cosmetic Variations
The Crystal Blue™ Endurance Surface™ with Blue Grit™ is engineered to prioritise spin, ball bite, and long-term durability rather than perfect cosmetic uniformity.
Due to the advanced crystal-infused manufacturing process, each paddle face has its own distinctive appearance. Slight variations in surface texture, Blue Grit™ distribution, shading, and visual patterns are normal and expected within the manufacturer's approved tolerances.
Lighting conditions may also affect how the Crystal Blue™ finish appears. Surface roughness is tested against validated functional specifications to ensure the intended playing performance.
Additional printing or coating could improve visual uniformity but would compromise the performance characteristics of the surface.
Please Note: Cosmetic variations within the manufacturer's approved tolerance are not considered defects and are not eligible for exchange or warranty claims.
Each J6M+ paddle is unique, with its surface engineered to deliver spin, consistency, and endurance.
