Honolulu J2NF

Our take on the Honolulu J2NF

This was one of the first full-foam paddles to hit the market in 2025, and several other companies proceeded to come out with paddles that closely mirrored the internal construction of this one. Honolulu remains a leader in the full-foam space, and has a loyal base of players for a reason.

How We Tested

Our paddle reviewers (all 5.0+ players) work with other high-level players in their area to test paddles on a variety of shots. This testing involves several hours of drills and games in an effort to determine how the paddle impacts performance in real-world scenarios.

We use the Life Time LT Pro 48 pickleball for our testing.
