Summary

The Aero X 14mm by Holbrook is an elongated paddle with a 14mm 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 5.25-inch grip, it falls into the midweight category. The swing weight is 112, considered relatively low, which may make it easier to maneuver. The paddle's spin rating is 8.0/10, drive speed rating is 7.0/10, and volley speed rating is 6.8/10. Its spin percentile is in the 82nd percentile, while power and pop are in the 58th and 68th percentiles, respectively. The twist weight is 5.83 with a rating of 3.8/10 and a percentile of 22, suggesting potential challenges with stability on off-center hits. This paddle might be suitable for intermediate players seeking a blend of power, control, and spin. The lighter swing weight could benefit players who prioritize maneuverability.
