Summary
The Sword & Shield J7k Pro by Honolulu Pickleball Company is an elongated paddle with a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core. This core type is often associated with a balance of power and control. The paddle features a Kevlar face, a material known for its durability. Weighing 8 ounces with a 6-inch grip length, it may appeal to players who prefer a two-handed backhand. The swing weight is 119, placing it in the high range. This suggests the paddle may provide more power but could require more effort to swing. The 96th percentile spin rating (8.6/10) and high swing weight percentile (75th) indicate potential for spin generation and powerful shots. The twist weight rating is 4.8/10 (45th percentile), suggesting moderate stability on off-center hits. While the elongated shape could offer a larger sweet spot, it might also reduce maneuverability for some. The longer grip and head-heavy swing weight may make it less suitable for beginners. This paddle could be a good fit for intermediate to advanced players seeking power and spin.
