Our verdict
An exciting MPP power paddle with softer touch, durable Blue Grit and J6 reach.
The J6CR M 105 brings together three reasons we are excited: MPP power potential, a softer bottom-end feel and the Crystal Blue surface we already like. Built for increased pop with smooth, predictable control, this is a compelling option for players who want to attack confidently and keep a versatile touch game.
One of the most exciting new Honolulu options for attacking players: 16mm MPP foam, J6 reach and durable Crystal Blue grit in a $195 launch package. We recommend considering it if you want the combination of power potential, softer low-speed touch and lasting surface bite. The included cover and PRH discount make the package even more appealing.

Paddle specifications. The 6-inch grip includes the tapered area above the rubber band and grip wrap.
MPP foam: power, pop and softer touch
The MPP core is the standout upgrade: a softer bottom-end feel with more potential top-end power. It pairs increased pop with a design focused on smooth, predictable control. Core Reactor, Dynamic PowerFlex and Control Joint work together in this power-oriented build, giving attacking players an exciting combination of offensive potential and touch.
The optimized J6 elongated profile measures 16.48 × 7.52 inches, with an extended face and a chopped-top aero curve. The shape shifts more mass toward the head for power while retaining the J2 long-handle foundation. The 6-inch grip measurement includes the tapered area above the rubber band and grip wrap, which matters for players who favor a two-handed backhand.
At 8–8.2 oz, with a specified swing weight of 111–116 and twist weight of 6.2–6.7, the M105 gives buyers a clear handling reference. The appeal is a middleweight elongated paddle that combines reach, a generous handle and a softer MPP contact profile.
Crystal Blue grit: spin and surface life
Crystal Blue Endurance Surface / Blue Grit uses a patent-pending crystal-infused particulate process, with Blue Crystal media mechanically interlocked into the face for controlled texture and long-term surface durability. The carbon fiber / fiberglass / carbon fiber face is formed through thermocompression with perimeter balancing. This is a major part of the M105’s appeal: a performance-focused surface built around lasting ball bite.
We already like the Crystal Blue surface family for its emphasis on spin and endurance. The existing J6CR Crystal Blue has an exact-model Tier 1 independent-lab spin-durability result in our database, which provides useful context for the surface family. That result belongs to the J6CR; the M105 combines Crystal Blue with its own MPP construction.
Every Crystal Blue face has individual character. Natural differences in shading, grit distribution and visible texture are expected from the surface process. Cosmetic variation within approved tolerance is normal and excluded from exchange or warranty coverage. The paddle includes a 1-year warranty, subject to Honolulu’s terms.
Who should choose the M105?
We recommend the M105 for attacking all-court players who want J6 reach, a long handle, softer MPP touch and a surface built around lasting bite. Its player range spans advanced beginners through professional-level players, with a particularly appealing package for those who want more power, pop and spin from an elongated paddle.
Choose M105 for the new MPP contact profile and J6 offensive platform. The J6CR Crystal Blue is another elongated option, while the J2CR Crystal Blue offers a hybrid shape for players who prefer that balance. M105 is offered in Blue and White and includes a premium waterproof cover with a hanging clip, a $25 value.
With UPA-A approval, a 1-year warranty and the PRH discount, the M105 is an exciting addition to the Honolulu lineup. Order now with PRH to save 10%.
