Honolulu Pickleball J2NFT vs Honolulu Pickleball J3NF

The Honolulu Pickleball J2NFT 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 they split 2–2. The J3NF swings lighter (110.0 vs 114.0) — quicker hands at the net, where the J2NFT 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.
