Honolulu’s J6CR is the most powerful paddle in its Sword & Shield lineup, but the brand has been careful to keep it recognisable to players who like the J2 series. It starts with the long-handle shape that made the J2 popular, enlarges the face slightly and adds an aerodynamic curve at the top of the head. Weight is shifted toward the tip, which raises the swing weight and gives drives and put-aways extra authority while keeping the controlled feel the J line is known for.
