    J2K 16 MM has been my main for about 4-5 months - Excellent control paddle with a FIRM feel ...the J2TI is a bit more poppy and has slightly less control at the kitchen......I would be interested to test out the J2K- 14MM......Keep up the great reviews Matt K......

    Absolutely want the pro version! I played with my friends GRUVYN a while back and loved it, so the idea the pro 14 plays similarly is really exciting. Plus a more power version of the J2 is what I always said Honolulu needed

  • @wafarris

    I’ve been recommending the J2ti so much to people. Great sweet spot and touch. I’m just now getting comfortable with 14 mm and I think the j2k pro with a little more power would be the one I’d like to try

  • @theskim2

  • @curtissanjenko285

    I will add I played with weight tape in various positions, and ended up with tape on the top corners ( slightly more to center than to the side…in 11 o’clock and 1 o’clock positions) gave me more power, while seemingly nothing given up in agility , or control.

    • @MatthewKPickleball
      @MatthewKPickleball  Месяц назад +1

      That set-up makes sense to me. Just adding some more plow-through, and that shape is plenty stable out-of the-box.

    I have enjoyed the J2 and got that for my parents. I have moved onto some more powerful paddles and tried different shapes. But the J2K PRO seems like the 14mm for me to experiment with a thinner paddle. Once again, a Great Review!!!

  • @bocelle8341
    @bocelle8341 2 месяца назад +1

    Great explanation of the differences between the paddles. I have been playing with the J2K for a while now so I bought the J2Ti but never got to play with it. My wife put her name on it so I will never play it. But after your review, I think the J2K 14 mm paddle I should have bought instead. Thanks for the promo codes!

    • @MatthewKPickleball
      @MatthewKPickleball  2 месяца назад

      I’ve dragged my feet as long as I could avoiding power paddles. But with the way the game (even at rec play) is evolving, I think it’s either adapt, or be body-bagged to death. I think the J2K Pro (either 14 or 16mm) is one of the easier transition paddles to the power side of things for more competitive/advanced games.

  • @kmai2196

    @Rated4Weight84 2 месяца назад +1

    Like you mentioned, the J2K 14mm seems like more of a niche paddle, so I am going to go with the J2K Pro 14mm version for a more versatile paddle.

    Really good and thorough review of these paddles. I bought the original J2K after seeing your video review. While I really like how it plays from control standpoint, I’ve kind of wished it had a little more power so I would be very interested in the 14 mm J2K Pro.

I’ve played with the B&B Filth and Spartus Apollo, but the J2K is definitely my favorite. I’m looking to evolve my game to be faster and more aggressive and I think the J2K Pro 14mm will help!
