Summary

The Holbrook Aero T 16mm is an elongated paddle with a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core and a carbon fiber face. The combination of core and face materials may offer a balance of power and control. Its elongated shape could provide a larger sweet spot and increased reach. Weighing 7.8 oz with a 5.5-inch grip, it falls into a midweight category. The swing weight is 113, considered low, which may make it easier to maneuver. The 16mm core thickness is often associated with enhanced control. With a spin of 2099 RPM and a drive speed of 55.2 MPH, this paddle might appeal to players who prioritize a blend of spin and power. The twist weight of 5.71 suggests moderate stability on off-center hits. This paddle may be suitable for intermediate to advanced players seeking an all-court paddle with a slight emphasis on spin and control. A potential weakness could be slightly less power compared to heavier paddles.
