DO NOT BUY - J2K+ & J2Ti+ DEEP DIVE REVIEW

We put Honolulu’s controversial "Plus" paddles to the test – the J2K+ (Kevlar) and J2Ti+ (Titanium) – and uncovered shocking durability issues. Are these Gen 3 power paddles worth $165 when they’re designed to break? Watch our unfiltered deep dive. 📊 Technical Specs: J2K+: 114 SW | 7.0 TW | 8.0oz | 14mm Kevlar J2Ti+: 110 SW | 6.7 TW | 7.9oz | 16mm Titanium (Both require 20hr break-in, core crush confirmed at 1 month) ⏰ Timestamps: 00:00 - Intro & Durability Warnings 00:57 - J2K+ vs. J2Ti+: Performance Breakdown 02:27 - Baseline Play: Weight Mods REQUIRED 03:07 - Transition Zone: J2Ti+ Dominates 03:46 - Kitchen Showdown: J2K+ Wins Control 04:23 - Colby’s Take: "Not Worth 160" 05:16−Jermaine’svVerdict: "Needs 3g Tape to Shine" 07:15−Better Alternatives Under 165 11:09 - Final Verdict: Skip or Buy? 🔍 Key Findings: ⚠️ Core Crush Guaranteed: Both paddles degraded within 30 days of play 💥 J2Ti+ (Weighted): Best for drives/resets – plush but unstable 🎯 J2K+: Superior at kitchen – dense feel, better directional control 🚫 No Refresh Program? You’re stuck with a $165 paperweight 💡 Pro Tips: Add 3g tungsten tape at 3/9 o’clock to J2Ti+ (boosts SW to 115) Avoid if you value durability – Nexus Prostar or Picklin Alecto 3 last longer 👎 Why We Don’t Recommend: "Honolulu is selling disposable paddles – the plastic waste alone is irresponsible." – PickleTechie #Pickleball #HonoluluPickleball #J2KPlus #J2TiPlus #PickleballReview Drop a comment: Would YOU buy a paddle that’s engineered to fail? 👇
