Thrilled with my new J2K. So happy I took the time to do some proper research that led me to Honolulu Pickleball (AND Rackets and Runners). This paddle suits my game to a tee. Pinpoint control, nice spin and more than enough power when needed.
Thanks Rackets and Runners for such a positve experience!

Very professional, website easy to navigate and delivery quick. Initial impressions the paddle has good pop while still maintaining control. Definitely has a great sweet spot.

I find the paddle gets dirty very quickly when I played outside, on average two times a week. Way faster than the raw carbon paddle I have (different brand).
To put it into the context:
1. The paddle is less than a month old.
2. It has been scrubbed rather well with a paddle eraser.
3. The performance is still OK.
I don't know how this embedded dirt (or whatever it is) will affect the paddle performance in the long run, but definitely not happy about it.

I do find this racket very good for control game. I have been playing with the six zero Ruby before trying the J2K. I find the J2K is a more stiff paddle vs the cushy Ruby. For my game I prefer the Ruby more and I find the Ruby has a better spin. Nonetheless, I adapted very well from the Ruby to the J2K. A great paddle. I do prefer the Ruby more though

I've been using the Ronbus Pulsar R3 and the Honolulu Sword & Shield J2K has more pop and feel at the kitchen and it has a lighter swing weight. There's less power at the baseline but can still hit the ball deep with a lot of spin. Overall, it's a good all-round paddle for doubles and I am happy playing with it. I believe my game has improved with better drops and countering at the kitchen.
