PRH The Verdict
J6 elongated — FC+ foam, PRH 10%.
I didn't expect to like an elongated Honolulu this much if I still had to play USAP. After thorough on-court evaluation, the Honolulu J6FC+ is a strong fit for USAP elongated players who want J6 reach with a softer FC+ foam pocket — see how it plays below, across power, control, spin, and feel.
If you're comparing it against other foam-core paddles, it's one of several great foam core paddles we've played this year.

How It Plays
Power and spin lead this one.
PRH On-Court Feel
Same chopped-top J6 shape as J6CR, 16.48 by 7.52. The FC+ foam is softer than J6NF on resets. You can actually catch a ball instead of hearing it ping off.
The swing is still an elongated swing. High 110s. If you live at the kitchen on a J2, this will feel late the first night. Twist weight sits in the mid-6s, which is normal for this shape, not a widebody.
My brother would try this before Crystal Blue if his club is USAP-only. If the event allows UPA-A and he wants grit that lasts, he still goes Crystal Blue J6.
Performance & Testing
The Honolulu J6FC+ went through our standard on-court protocol - drills, rec play, and at least one tournament match. How it plays reflects consensus feedback from the group, not a single reviewer's opinion.
Grit & Durability
Carbon face + 1-year Honolulu warranty. Code is PRH — 10% off, not a fixed $175 SKU on every cart. Confirm the discount at checkout.
Who It's For
USAP players who want J6 reach and a softer foam pocket than NF.
If you want Crystal Blue grit, that's J6CR Crystal Blue (UPA-A). If you want the firmer pop, that's J6NF. If you dink all night, stay on a J2.
