Summary
The Honolulu Pickleball Company Sword & Shield J2H is a hybrid shape paddle with a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core, known for balancing power and control. The carbon fiber face is often associated with control and feel. Weighing 8.1 oz with a 5.5-inch grip, it falls into the midweight category. The 113 swing weight is considered medium, indicating a moderate head-heavy feel. The 16mm core thickness contributes to control-oriented play. The paddle's twist weight is 7.13, rating 7.0 out of 10 and placing in the 92nd percentile, suggesting good resistance to twisting on off-center hits. This paddle may be suitable for intermediate to advanced all-court players seeking a blend of power and control. The combination of core and face materials could offer a balance of power and touch. The hybrid shape may provide a larger sweet spot. While the midweight design can enhance stability, it might be less maneuverable for some players.
