Honolulu Pickleball Co.
Sword & Shield-J5
Elongated16mmGen-2Thermoformed
The Honolulu Pickleball Co. Sword & Shield-J5 is a 16 mm elongated pickleball paddle with a thermoformed, Toray Carbon Fiber face. It generates low spin (32th percentile) with average power and low pop. It has a heavier, head-leaning swing weight that favors power and plow-through over hand speed, but below-average twist weight, so off-center hits lose more pace. Overall it's a control-oriented profile that trades raw power for touch and placement.
