Buy the J6CR Crystal Blue to attack without being slow at the kitchen
The swing weight gap is the story. The J6CR Crystal Blue sits at 111 to 116, fast for an elongated, and the Cannon XPP sits at 123, one of the heaviest swings we list. In our testing that made the J6CR clearly better in hands battles, and it was also more controlled and more forgiving. It still hit harder than the XPP. The 6" handle is the better fit for a two-handed backhand.
Buy the Cannon XPP for weight behind the ball and USAP approval
The Cannon XPP M1 is for players who already like a heavy elongated. The 123 swing weight puts mass behind drives and serves, the silicon carbide face measured about 2,400 RPM, and it is USAP approved, which the J6CR Crystal Blue is not. The core is lively, so dinks and resets need a softer touch, and the 5.5" handle is short for two hands. It is $23.35 cheaper with code.
