I found my best paddle! Arma X

I’m so glad I bought this paddle! The Holbrook Arma X completely changed my game. The balance of control and power is spot on—I can place shots with precision while still having the strength to finish points with confidence. My gameplay has improved across the board since switching to this paddle. It feels solid, responsive, and consistent on every shot. If you’re looking for a paddle that elevates both control and power, the Arma X is a game-changer.

Arma T 14mm

I have the Arma T metallic as well, so I’m not coming to this pedal brand new per se. From reviews, I was expecting to feel a little bit more pop and speed off the ball using the carbon fiber face, but after two or three recreational plays, I haven’t really noticed much of a difference.Same great feel, good pace for drives, and still surprisingly soft at the kitchen.

I’ve been playing with the Holbrook Mav Pro 16mm 2.0 lately, and honestly, I’m pretty impressed. The carbon fiber face has some solid grit to it, so I’m able to get good spin on serves and dinks. I also like the elongated shape—it gives you a little extra reach and the longer handle is perfect if you use two hands on your backhand.

The best paddle I have! And my favorite! Improved my control a lot!

Love it! Looks good on my greatest paddle! 👍🏻

Arma X Metallic It’s a keeper !

I’ve been searching for the right paddle for awhile now Finally tried a Holbrook aero T that came really close , but had a little too much pop for me . I read about the new arma x metallic , and decided to give it a try . It’s been a game changer since it arrived !
Perfect blend of power and control with a nice large sweet spot , and the slightly extra dwell time is perfect for keeping more balls in play against the bangers .
I can generate lots of spin and paddle set up allows for quick hands at the kitchen
I won’t giving this back !

Please make the pink in 16mm

The pink is the best color but I need it in the 16mm. Please make it!!!

Power Pro E 14mm - great paddle w/ good spin and power

I have two Power Pro E 14mm paddles and think they are great value for what you get. Great power and plenty of spin. Plus love their look too! I've played with the Power Pro E for 18 months and now I'm looking for even more power with a more forgiving sweet spot so I'm going to try the ARMA T paddle. The dual density core is all the rage right now. Will post a review once I receive it and try it out.

Please have more!

Ok I have used these for the last year and perfect over the standard grip. A little short but wrapped right just fine. Great grip feel and resists sweat and humidity longer than any over grip. Please, please make these available!!! If not please tell me where else to get them. Please!

Pro Aero Metallic T

First off, I LOVE IT! I've had it for 5 weeks now, playing every day. When you run your fingers over the paddle, it doesn't feel as gritty as i was expecting. I still do categorize it as elite spin.

I came from a Selkirk Invikta Power Air. My new Holbrook paddle does NOT have the same power. The Selkirk is "poppier". I still like the Aero Pro Metallic better. It does feel plush. I can feel the ball on the paddle. Real obvious to me is an inside out at the kitchen. This paddle gives me the confidence for the touch shots. I don't have as much power, but I can shape the serves and shots better with this paddle. Yesterday I demo'd 2 very expensive Joola paddles. Felt great to pick this paddle up again.

Perfect fit

The Arma S is an absolute machine when it comes to hands battles. I will say over all it is a perfect paddle!!!

Fun paddle!

Great paddle, lots of fun! Now, how do I get one?

Amaing Paddle!! head a bit heavy

fun paddle but aero x is better

Great company! I bought their paddle and never used the more expensive brand I have. The edge guard tape is also a lot better in quality. It felt tougher and adds more protection than the generic one I bought before. Sticking with Holbrool always.

I like the 14MM better

Definitely better quality and fit for my Holbrook paddle. Nothing beats authentic.

Awesome paddle

This paddle amazes me. I play with the 16mm Power Pro. It has the perfect balance of power, touch, and control. I would recommend it to anyone at any level of ability. Well done Holbrook!!!!

Steady, and powerful.

Coming from a tennis background, I found this paddle not only tolerates big swings — it invites them. It delivers power in spades, but more impressively, it offers precise placement, a surprising amount of touch, and excellent spin. I was able to generate heavy topspin and drive the ball deep with confidence — something I’ve struggled to find in other paddles. Most paddles I’ve used are inconsistent on full swings, often feeling erratic — not this one. The elongated head of the Metallic X gives it more of a “racquet-like” feel compared to the S and the T. I’ve finally found a paddle that matches my mindset and aggressiveness — while adding the consistency, control, and spin I’ve been looking for.

This is an absolute game changing paddle! It has amazing control, spin and pop. The S doesnt feel or look extremely wide like some other paddles out there but it feels and plays like butter! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I like the training paddle during warmups and practicing my serve.

It's the one!

I absolutely love this paddle. I've never been much of a Holbrook fan to be honest, but when I saw some reviews about this paddle, I had to give it a try. Especially with being able to return it. It got so much power, pop and control. I just tried the new Ripple and the power of it doesn't even compare to the ARMA. I also played with the Pro IV, Franklin C45, Gearbox pro power and many more. I used to like switching paddles, but I can't put the ARMA down, and there's no need to, because it has everything.

Holbrook arma metallic t 14mm power and control

As someone who primarily plays a control-oriented game, I’ve tested several power paddles in the past, including brands like Selkirk and JOOLA. While Selkirk paddles offered great power, I often found the sweet spot to be a bit limited. With JOOLA paddles, although they delivered impressive power, I struggled with overhitting and controlling those powerful shots. Interestingly, JOOLA paddles still provided a decent touch for dinks, but the tendency to overshoot on power shots was a recurring issue.

Now, enter the Holbrook ARMA Metallic T 14mm. This paddle truly stands out as it manages to combine the best of both worlds. It delivers that high-end put-away power you’d expect from a true power paddle, yet you lose none of the finesse and control that are essential for those soft dink shots and resets. The balance and the way it enhances spin make it a versatile choice for players of various skill levels. Overall, the Holbrook ARMA Metallic T 14mm feels like a game changer and a paddle you won’t want to put down once you’ve tried it.

Arma S 14mm

Arma S, T, & X

Wow, wow, wow! That's all I can say about these Arma's, I purchased all 5 because of my Ambassador status so I can tell future buyers what I think about each paddle. Let's start with the Arma S carbon, it has a nice touch and plenty of surface for contact and the drops are nice. The Arma S metallic is my wife's favorite but I kinda new that because she loves the Aero S. This paddle gives her the power and spin needed to play at a high level. The Arma T carbon to me plays like the Aero T metallic so I didn't really see a difference. The Arma T metallic is definitely my favorite and packs a punch my drives are clearly passing my opponents and drops and dinks are perfect. The Arma X I find is a little head heavy so I really didn't use it alot since I've had it.
