Customer Reviews
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.
I have been using the Holbrook AERO S for quite some time and thought it was the paddle for me. That is until I tried the Holbrook ARMA S in the metallic. This paddle delivers powered precision without sacrificing control. Personally I have also loved preferred handles in this measure because in my opinion it gives me greater command of the paddle. The wide body of the core gives the added grace for mistakes. Whether it's performance at the kitchen or drives from the baseline this paddle is beyond efficient and gives me the confidence I need to mesh all components of my game.
ARMA FAQS
What is Dual Density, and why does it matter?
Dual density means the ARMA paddle uses two different cell sizes in the core. The denser cells are strategically placed to reinforce areas that typically feel dead, which boosts energy transfer and consistency across the face. The result? A massive, more forgiving sweet spot and a paddle that feels responsive whether you’re ripping drives or softening a dink.
What makes the ARMA different from other power paddles?
The ARMA delivers elite-level power without sacrificing control. It’s built for aggressive players who want to drive hard from the baseline but still have a soft touch at the net for resets and dinks.
Why does the ARMA have two different cell sizes in the core?
The varying cell sizes are engineered to optimize energy transfer—denser regions reinforce typical dead zones, while more open cells unleash power where you need it most, giving you more consistency across the paddle face.
What paddle shapes are available for the ARMA?
It comes in multiple shapes like the T (elongated handle), the X (elongated face), and the S (standard widebody).
How does the ARMA handle over time—will it lose pop or consistency?
Thanks to its carbon-wrapped foam and thermoforming process, the ARMA stays consistent longer than typical Gen3 foam paddles, which tend to break in quickly and then drop off.
Is the ARMA USAP approved for tournament play?
Yes, all retail models of the ARMA are certified for tournament play by USA Pickleball.
Is this paddle only for advanced players?
While it was designed with high-level performance in mind, players at any level who want more power and improved consistency may find the ARMA helps them play better immediately.
Can I feel the difference right away?
Most players notice the pop and control right away. The unique build creates a responsive sweet spot that stands out on first hit.
