11SIX24 Ultre Power 2 vs Honolulu J6CR Crystal Blue (2026)
Last updated: October 2026
Two durable-grit paddles. The J6CR Crystal Blue scores higher and costs less, the Ultre is the hybrid.
Both are spin durability Tier 1 in independent lab testing (under 5% spin loss), so this comes down to shape and price.
The Honolulu J6CR Crystal Blue scores 9.2 against the Ultre Power 2's 8.8, hits harder (9.4 power against 8.8), spins as well (9.4 against 9.3) and costs less ($175.50 with code PRH against $199.99). It is an elongated with a 6" handle. The Ultre Power 2 is a flat-top hybrid with a 5.75" handle, a little more control-friendly in hand battles. Buy the J6CR Crystal Blue for reach and power, the Ultre for a hybrid shape.
