New Honolulu J6s, Tenon shapes, Luzz Cannon 2, and the codes that still work
If you just want a paddle this month: Friday Aura Widebody at $119 with PRH, Enhance MPP/EPP Turbo at $99.99 with PRH, or Honolulu J2CR Crystal Blue at about $175 with PRH. New this month: Honolulu J6FC+ and J6NF (~$175 with PRH 10%), Ronbus Tenon R2/R3/R4 ($169.99 → $149.99 with RC3Q2082, not PRH), Luzz Cannon 2 ($119 → $101.15 with PRH 15%), Inferno Frozen ($249 → $211.65 with PRH 15%), Pickle Poppers Treasure ($179.99 → $152.99 with PRH 15%), Pakle Fuse DuraSpin ($119 → $101.15 with PRH 15%), Neonic Frost/Swift FLX ($165 → $148.50 via our link, no code), Friday Fever 102 Elongated ($102 → $92 with PRH, the cheapest elongated Friday). The four-paddle RPM Jade line is $229.49 with PRH 15%. Selkirk Omni also launched at $300 — we have no Selkirk code for it.

Don't overreact to the new SKUs
A lot of new faces showed up in September. Most people should still buy the paddles we already trusted: Friday Aura Widebody at $119 with PRH, Enhance Turbo Widebody at $99.99 with PRH, or J2CR Crystal Blue at about $175 with PRH. New does not mean better for your game.
What actually landed
- Honolulu J6FC+ and J6NF — elongated Honolulu at $195 → ~$175 with PRH 10%. Shop stays 808pickle.com. Head-to-head: J6FC+ vs J6NF.
- Ronbus Tenon R2 / R3 / R4 — $169.99 → $149.99 with RC3Q2082. Code is not PRH. Start R2 unless you already want elongated. Guide: which Tenon.
- Luzz Cannon 2 M1 — $119 → $101.15 with PRH 15%. Inferno Frozen is the calmer $211.65 Luzz. Tree: which Luzz.
- Pakle Fuse DuraSpin — $119 → $101.15 with PRH 15%. Versus Turbo: Fuse vs Enhance Turbo.
- Neonic Frost FLX / Swift FLX — $165 → $148.50 if you use our shop link. There is no PRH code to paste.
- Pop N Treasure Widebody and Elongated — $179.99 → $152.99 with PRH 15%. Shop lists the brown one as Widebody; the face says Standard. We say that on the review.
- RPM Jade — four SKUs: Widebody 16mm, Elongated 16mm, Widebody 14mm, Elongated 14mm. $269.99 → $229.49 with PRH 15% on any of them. Widebody 16mm is the one to start from; the 14mm pair is a specialist pick.
- Friday Fever 102 Elongated — $102 → $92 with PRH, and the cheapest elongated Friday there is. If you wanted Aura reach without the Aura price, this is the month it showed up.
- Selkirk Omni Widebody and Elongated — $300, and we have no Selkirk code, so there is nothing to paste and nothing we earn on it. Listed because it launched and you will see it everywhere, not because we are steering you at it.
The $99 vs $150 argument
People keep asking Spitfire or Tenon. Spitfire Elongated is $98.99 with PRH. Tenon R3 is $149.99 with RC3Q2082. Different jobs. Read Spitfire vs Tenon R3 before you spend the extra fifty.
