I have played with every Holbrook paddle starting with the power pro. Each new paddle the Aero Kevlar and Metallic, ARMA advanced in some significant way whether it be power or control/spin or both. I just played with the Fuze 16 elongated, all my paddles are elongated, and words cannot express how great this paddle is with regard to control while also having effortless power. Maybe a little less power than the ARMA metallic 14 but plenty of power and far more spin control than the Arma 14.
The control is the big game changer in my opinion since I felt like I could heavily spin dinks, softly reset, and also hit wicked top spin, side spin serves. Forehand and back hand ground strokes are really fun and effortless. Handling opponents drives at mid court or kitchen line was so cool in that it was easy to drive back hard volleys or simply hit nice soft angles.
Well done Holbrook. I have said it before regarding the above mentioned paddles Holbrook has made that I have, but this Fuze 16 elongated really put all the great features together in one paddle!!!!
