Summary
The SWORD & SHIELD J2Ti+ by HONOLULU PICKLEBALL COMPANY is a hybrid-shaped paddle with a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core. This core type is often associated with a balance of power and control. The face material is a combination of titanium and carbon fiber. The paddle weighs 8.2 oz and has a 5.3-inch grip. Its swing weight is 118, categorized as high, and may require more effort to swing but could generate more power. The twist weight is 7.22, suggesting good stability on off-center hits.
This paddle might be suitable for intermediate to advanced players seeking a blend of power and control. The 16mm core thickness, combined with the titanium and carbon fiber face, may offer a balance between power and control. The high swing weight could benefit players who prefer a heavier paddle for drives, while the relatively high twist weight may provide stability.
A potential weakness could be maneuverability due to the higher swing weight. The shorter grip length might not be ideal for players who prefer two-handed backhands.
