The Honolulu Pickleball Company Sword & Shield J3 is a standard-shaped 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 ounces, it falls into the midweight category, offering maneuverability while still providing some power. Its 6-inch grip may be suitable for players who prefer a longer grip or use a two-handed backhand. With a swing weight of 112, it is considered relatively low, making it easier to swing. The twist weight of 7.075 suggests good stability on off-center hits. This paddle may be suitable for intermediate all-court players seeking a balance of power, control, and maneuverability. The combination of core and face materials could offer a blend of power and control. However, players seeking maximum power or spin might find its ratings in these areas to be moderate.
