Customer Reviews
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.
Being a control player I had hit with a few power paddles in the past and never really liked them as I just felt they were too hot. Not sure how Holbrook came up with the Dual Core Tech, but it is a game changer! This paddle has all the high end put-away power you expect with a true power paddle, but you lose none of the touch and feel for dinks and resets that you have come to expect from a Holbrook paddle. If you hit with one, there will be no turning back. I’m a higher level player (around 5.4 DUPR) but feel this will be a great paddle to a variety of skill levels due to the tremendous touch it has. 3 shapes, 2 surfaces, power, and control. An ARMA will feel great in your hand!
Paddle is insanly good. Love it
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.
