Honolulu Pickleball J2CR CBE vs Honolulu Pickleball J3NF

The Honolulu Pickleball J2CR CBE is a 16 mm hybrid paddle; the Honolulu Pickleball J3NF is a 16 mm widebody one. Across the 6 specs with a clearly better direction the J2CR CBE takes 4 and the J3NF takes 1. The J2CR CBE swings lighter (107.0 vs 110.0) — quicker hands at the net, where the J3NF plows through the ball instead. That is a preference, not a win. They retail for the same $195.00.

Two paddles from the same brand, so the differences are the ones the maker chose. Every number below is lab-measured, not a manufacturer claim.
