Honolulu J2CR Crystal Blue™ Endurance Surface

Amazing paddle. It’s powerful & poppy but also has very good control.

Very light and maneuverable. I added a little bit of weight to increase its stability.

This is a very good paddle! Is very easy to control and feels really well-balanced!

Went to the store in Toronto on Belfied Rd. Best store around if you are serious about Pickle-ball. No need to go anywhere else. So many paddles and everything Pickle-ball to choose from..Not easy to decide. Speak to William..he is excellent. Very patient and really knows his stuff. He will guide you to the right Paddle and shoes.

Great paddle! Awesome control, feel and spin. Shipment was fast, highly recommend!

The balance when you hold it in your hands is amazing. The grit has upgraded the spin that I can put on my serve. Everything with this paddle has just been so much more natural for me.

good.

Très content de mon achat, cette raquette frappe fort et un très bon contrôle, l’adaptation a été très facile 👍

Great service and a great product. Better for spin serves.

It seems to have improved the number of successful drop shots. Improved the number of winners I hit. I need to learn to control its power to reduce hitting long. Don't like the hollow sound.

Excellent spin, keeps control, decent power

Great paddle...but can you handle it??

Great product. Worth the price

Blue grit on the J2CR provides great spin. The paddle is a perfect blend of power and control from the first time you use it. The feel is exceptional due, in part to the large sweet spot. So far, I haven’t felt the need to add weight. My only modification was an over grip. If the Blue Endurance Surface maintains high rates of spin over an extended period of time, this paddle will last a long time. The CR foam core means there is no risk of core crushing, unlike the gen 3 paddles. So far I’m very happy with my purchase.

I've only been playing pickleball for the past 6 months or so, but have a background in tennis.

The paddle is considered a power paddle, though is very light, especially for a hybrid shape.The light weight makes it fast in the kitchen, but it does feel like its missing finishing power/pop. The light swing weight out of the box is great because you can add weight and it still feels fast. I personally added about 12g and its still lighter than some other hybrid paddles stock. Once you add the weight, drives and finishes at the net are much better.

Because of how the paddle is designed, it can be a little hard to reset when an opponent hits hard. I found I couldn't control it as much and popped up a lot. I think its part of learning to play with a new paddle, and making adjustments to minimize those mistakes.

From a spin perspective, you can really shape the ball. I've really enjoyed hitting topspin as you can noticeably see the ball dip. Time will tell how the crystal blue endurance grit will perform. So far, so good!

I did some research before purchasing the paddle and saw there were potentially differences in how many crystals each paddle would have. I can say that my paddle had a stark difference between the two sides visually, but from a feel perspective, there seemed to be more grit on the side where there were "less" crystals. I'd love to hear other reviewers thoughts on this.

Overall, I'd recommend this paddle to anyone starting out. You can play it stock and it will perform great. The light weight allows you to really customize it to how you want to play. So as you improve you skills, you don't need to change your paddle. Just make adjustments to the one you have.

Great paddle
Fantastic customer service

Called To ask about a waitlist for the Honolulu J2CR Blue Crystal paddle. The salesperson told me they just got them in and I could get one right away. It arrived within a week.

I received a call from the store that the bat I ordered was the last one and had some scratches. They offered a discount and shipping was very fast.

Completely satisfied
