Edge tape looks good and easy to wrap.
Love the paddle. Looks and feel awesome.
Paddle with power and good touch. Holbrook customer service was first rate with shipping issue.
Always have used Holbrook paddles and their gears. Wishlist: the backpack (small/day bag).
Never disappoints in quality and play.
Love the power on this paddle and the elongated handle!! Perfect for my first intermediate/advanced paddle!
Very very disappointed, the high twist weight doesn’t translate into consistency or forgiveness, even though the number is similar to 11size24 Pegasus power, but real fell come nothing even close.
The impact is inconsistent, different feedback from different areas of the paddle face, again power and pop aren’t created equal either.
Don’t understand what kind of players this paddle is for?? No control, not forgiving, some power and pop but uncontrollable with the worst impact consistency on the paddle surface. I have used joola gen3, Mod Ta, gen4,, sixzero ruby, crbn trufoam , 11six24 Pegasus power, this paddle comes nowhere close to any of above paddles.
BTW, the grip is really cheap.
Such a beautiful bag! Just the right size for drop-in sessions, all day tournaments, or even short business/pickleball trips. The quality is superb and the Holbrook branding is on point as always. Best part, the back zipper pouch can be used as an exterior paddle holder! Another winner from Holbrook. You won’t find a better bag under $100!
I have both thickness paddles, started with the 14mm and then I got the 16mm like 4 months later once the 14 started to chip on the edges 2 months later. I got 3rd on a local and only tournament I’ve played with the 14mm but definitely has taken a beating since April that I got it as my backhand has destroyed the corners. I still use it as my practice paddle but I use the 16 for competitive matches in my weekly leagues.
Came the next day after ordering and was beyond my expectations for quality. Not a better paddle or company out there.
I bought this paddle about two months ago. I play around 3-4 times per week, high intermediate level (3.75+). The balance is great and it feels good with some solid spin ability and power.
The problem is the edgeless design. The outside guard on mine has already split at the edges and I don't know how much longer it'll last. Really the durability is just not comparable to full edge paddles and I think I will need to replace it much sooner than it's lifespan if the whole front comes off.
Would not recommend purchasing if you ever hope to dig balls that could scrape the edges of the paddle. At this price point I was hoping it would last longer.
My favorite paddle. Great touch, power and spin. I get the expected response from my strokes which is what I want. I didn’t have to adjust my game for it.
Protective edge tape saves the paddle edge. Love the name Holbrook on the wdge tape.
I was a huge Holbrook fan. Initially I got a Power Pro E. I love the balance of power and control. However, 13 months into using the paddle, it was completely delaminated. After a nightmare of working with Holbrook customer service, they replaced it. 8 months into a brand new Power Pro? Delaminated. Again. It’s a shame, it has so much potential, but the quality is just not there for Holbrook.
Love! Love! Love! This bag is roomy, has lots of pockets, and the straps are super comfortable. Please make it in more colors!
Absolutely amazing. I've been playing with the Arma X Metallic paddle for a week now and it's nothing more than awesome. This paddle has improved my accuracy, power, and spin that I'm able to create its insane. Best paddle hands down.
I’ve been searching for a lightweight paddle for quite a while, and this square paddle delivers exactly what I wanted. I’m not much of a power player, but I rely on quick hands at the net, and this paddle gives me the speed and control I need.
I'm coming off from a $20 paddle from amazon. I've tried other paddles before finding other brands. This one seemed to match my style. Its very responsive forehands and backhands. great in the kitchen. You literally put the ball where you want and it will go. Has a great amount of power with minimal effort. I didn't feel like i needed to break it in honestly it was more so getting used to all the premium features on from its great weight to power to control. The built in weights is a nice feature and edgeless design. I would recommend buying some edgeless tape to protect this beautiful paddle. looks great in person as far as esthetics go. I went with the 16 mm. Great job Holbrook!
We’ve loved our Power Pro 16s from the moment we unboxed them. The control is top notch. Thanks Holbrook for helping us take the silver in our first tournament!
Advanced my game a lot. Drives and volleys are popping with less effort while also still in control where i want the pickleball to go.
