Love it

Super Fast at the net! Dynamic weight technology makes for an exceptionally balanced paddle with a generous sweet spot for an elongated shape. Plenty of pop with the 16mm too. Definitely add some edge tape for extra protection.

AWESOME

Love this thing. Lightweight so you have the hand speed at the net. Great pop for put away potential, and still soft enough for me to control. Really good spin too for aggressive drops and dinks. Incredible all around

Fun Paddle

This paddle is fun and looks great. However, after using the Holbrook Mav Pro and now the Aero Metallic, I find the Centre Court to be a very basic starter paddle in my opinion. I am really enjoying the responsiveness and gameplay with my new Aero Metallic.

Fits great

Love this paddle!

I purchased the Pro - Aero Metallic T 16 mm. This is my first Holbrook. I have had it for a few weeks and it’s my go-to paddle. The surface creates great spin and control without giving up power. It was comfortable from the very first time I used it. The elongated shape is great. The sweet spot is big. Even if I hit a ball closer to the edges I still have the good control and power. I love the look of it too. It’s eye catching and I get a lot of compliments on it.

Excellent spin and control

I bought this as a replacement to a power paddle and was pleasantly surprised with the control and spin. I do wish I had gotten the 14mm for a little more power but all in all a great paddle and will be my primary paddle

5-Star Review for Holbrook Aero Metallic T 16

I recently transitioned from tennis to pickleball, and the Holbrook Aero Metallic T 16 has been a game-changer for me! This paddle offers the perfect balance of power and control, allowing me to confidently develop my game. The gritty surface is a standout feature, giving me incredible spin potential that has noticeably improved my shot-making.

As I start playing in DUPR clinics and tournaments, I feel confident that this paddle will help me elevate my performance and become the best player I can be. Whether you’re an experienced player or making the switch from tennis like me, I highly recommend the Aero Metallic T 16—it delivers exceptional feel, precision, and power on the court!

Nice paddle

This paddle has a nice soft feel and control and ample power as well. So far so good.

Amaing Paddle!!

This has been a great addition to my game. I didn't like how it easily scratched and deneted on the edges but have since got the paddle grip whitch has solved the problem

Durability concerns

Received the 14mm Aero T for Christmas. It is a great all court paddle and I really was looking forward to playing with an edgeless paddle however durability has become a concern. Within 10 minutes of playing I got a small chip on the top edge from hitting a wood floor. After one month a large chunk chipped off with no obvious reason.

Good paddle cover.

Played with this paddle today. Coming from a 16mm with edge guard, I can say there’s a big difference using this one! I can get the fast responses I needed, especially on unexpected situations.

The only downside buying this is for its price, you still not getting any paddle cover (nor even a sticker!)

PRO - MAV Pro 16mm 2.0 - Exactly what I needed

Look at and tried a number of paddles before purchasing this paddle and must say it over delivered for the price point. Excellent control and weight and medium power fits my game well and is perfect for mid-level players. Highly recommend for the player looking to "UP" their game.

Decent paddle

The paddle is lightweight and the extra handle length is great. My issues is with the cost of the paddle and they don’t bother to include a cover for it. A minor thing but with various paddles out there and increasing “reviews” and data pointing to the subjectivity of paddles I would think they’d be looking to minimally offer a basic cover. Can I get my own cover? Certainly! Do I want something included for $199.99? Absolutely!

Finally a great training paddle

I love this paddle. Holbrook did it correctly. The paddle weighs the same as most paddles and is created the same as the paddles so the ball bounces like it would on a normal paddle. As a coach, I used these in all of my intermediate/advances clinics.

LOVE IT!!!

My son and I both purchased the aero metallic and we both love it. I will say that we both agree. It is a much bigger transition from any other paddle we’ve had before. Still trying to dial in the light touch hits that I want to pull off. Everything about the power is on and it is unreal! The pop off of the paddle is amazing! The response off of it is what’s so different from my paddle before or any other paddle I have had. Sometimes it’s kind of crazy how large the sweet spot seems to be! Nothing wrong with that though! This is also the first time I played with an edgeless paddle, which is awesome and I love how clean it looks, but I will be putting an edge guard around the top so I can keep it looking pretty. Already have some scratches up there that I don’t like to look at. Looking forward to doing more in the future with your brand! Picture below was when it just snowed… in FLORIDA!! Yes we played!!! Til probably never happen again!🤣

In love

The first time I tried this paddle, I fell in love. I wasn’t really looking for a new paddle as I already had the older Holbrook and love that one. But then I tried this one and I felt like the sweet spot was so much bigger.

Pro - Aero T

I purchased the Pro - Aero T 14mm and played with it a couple of times. Good pop on my drives; great control in the kitchen; faster hands due to lightness of the paddle; great spin on my third shot. I will add more weight towards the bottom of paddle to enlarge the sweet spot. Overall a great paddle!!!

New Favorite

Transitioned from the Joola Mangus 3s 16mm because it is banned. Did my research on the specs of this paddle. They are almost the same except for the weight and the paddle handle length. It feels a little lighter but it was not a factor. I quickly got it dialed in and it is now my only go-to!

Aero T is awesome

This paddle is light giving me fast hands. Light does not mean lacking power. It has plenty. This paddle allows me to hit placement with accuracy but still has plenty of power for drives. The surface facilities great soon. I highly recommend this paddle for excelling the player to the next level. It’s my go to paddle. Being a 4.0 player I need a paddle that provides consistent shots. This paddle fits the bill. Love it.

Game Changer Paddle

I am new to Pickleball this past year, so I had no idea a paddle that has this much feel, and basically a full face/paddle sweet spot was out there. I thought the long handle would enable me to use too much wrist, but it doesn't. It gives me more control. Great Paddle! Everyone should have one in their bag!

Unbelievable spin

The folks across the net watched as the ball changed direction in the air..they had no chance for a return.. described the shot as terminal..love this bat..😉

Great Paddle!

Great Paddle! Excellent control, feels great in your hand, and looks great! A really really smooth paddle to play with!

Love at first game....

I've owned many paddles in my 6 years of playing...most I've ended up selling as they did not suit my game, or played differently than advertised. With the Power Pro, it was within the first 10 minutes of playing that I knew this paddle was KILLER.

I already have excellent power in my game, but this thing has added even more sting especially in hand battles. On the touch side, I am able to dink with precision and spin given the sandpaper-like surface.

Yup, quickly becoming my favorite paddle in the arsenal. My only regret was waiting this long to buy my first Holbrook, I've always wanted to try one.
