Sword & Shield J2k

The Honolulu Pickleball Company Sword & Shield J2k is a hybrid-shaped paddle with a 14mm polypropylene honeycomb core. Polypropylene honeycomb cores are known for their balance of power and control. The face material is Kevlar, a material known for its durability. The paddle weighs 8.2 oz and has a 5.5-inch grip. Its swing weight is 113, considered medium, and its twist weight is 6.67, with a twist weight rating of 5.9 out of 10 (73rd percentile). The balance point is relatively head-heavy (11th percentile). This combination suggests the paddle may be suitable for players seeking a blend of power and control. The 14mm core thickness may provide a balance of power and control. The medium swing weight could offer manageable maneuverability while still allowing for powerful shots. The head-heavy balance point may contribute to increased power but could also make the paddle feel slightly less maneuverable. The higher twist weight rating suggests good stability on off-center hits.
