Yep, the J2, DBD, and Vatic Pro Flash are all very similar paddles with slight variances. For the price I think the J2 is by far the best option

After hearing from many people that the Vatic Pro Prism was lacking a bit in power despite being a good control paddle, I was hoping to hear about a good thermoformed paddle under $100 with some better power, and you delivered. Now you've got me very interested in the Spartus Gladius Centurion and the Sword and Shield J2. On one hand, I feel like I want the one that has the most power, which according to your description seems to be the Gladius Centurion, but your ratings have the J2 at only 0.1 less in power, while being better in every other regard, especially pop and sweet spot, so now I'm wondering if the J2 is just the obvious no brainer even if I want to prioritize power. From your experience, which one feels more plush to you as you hit the ball? I think I'd prefer the one that has a more muted feel while striking the ball.

I like the power, spin and control of these paddles and will stick with them for the long haul. Hopefully I'm not too late for the draw.🤣

I like the hybrid shape of the vatic pro prism. Almost getting that but things change quite a lot in the last 2 months as you said. The sword and shield j2 has bit of the hybrid shape, thermoformed and raw carbon fiber. The 5.5 inch grip length should help with double backhand. 😎
