Summary
The Holbrook Aero X 16mm is an elongated paddle with a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core and a carbon fiber face. This combination may offer a balance of power and control. The paddle weighs 7.8 oz and has a 5.25-inch grip. Its 112 swing weight is considered low, potentially making it easy to maneuver. The elongated shape could provide a larger sweet spot. The carbon fiber face is often associated with control and feel. With a spin of 2055 RPM and a drive speed of 55.1 MPH, this paddle might suit players who prioritize a blend of spin, power, and control. The 16mm core thickness may contribute to a controlled feel. The relatively low twist weight of 5.88 could make the paddle slightly less stable on off-center hits. This paddle might be suitable for intermediate players looking for an all-court paddle.
