The Honolulu CR Series was already one of my favorite paddles on the market...and now it just got a major upgrade.
In this video, I’m breaking down everything you need to know about the Honolulu J6CR and J2CR, including how they play, who they’re for, and why Honolulu’s new Crystal Blue Endurance Grit could actually matter more than you think. Because this isn’t just about spin, it’s about how long your paddle performs at a high level.
What We’ll Cover:
•J6CR vs J2CR (which shape is right for you)
•Full performance breakdown (power, pop, feel, control)
•Updated foam core design
•Real on-court impressions
•What the new endurance grit means for durability

Quick Specs:
•16mm core
•CFC face (carbon + fiberglass)
•Multi-density foam construction
•Lightweight + low swing weight (especially for elongated)
The CR series sits at the top of Honolulu’s power lineup, but what impressed me most is how predictable and controlled that power feels.
It’s one of the few paddles that gives you high-level power, great feel and dwell time, and a forgiving, consistent response.
And now, with the addition of longer-lasting grit, it becomes an even more compelling option.
