Summary

The Holbrook Aero S 16mm is a standard-shaped paddle with a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core, known for balancing power and control. The carbon fiber face is often associated with control and feel. Weighing 7.8 oz with a 5-inch grip and a low swing weight of 105, it should be easy to maneuver. The 16mm core thickness contributes to control-oriented gameplay. The twist weight of 6.63, rated 5.8/10 and in the 71st percentile, suggests good stability on off-center hits. The balance point is relatively head-light (13th percentile). This paddle may be suitable for players prioritizing control and maneuverability, potentially including beginners and intermediate players seeking an all-court paddle. The lighter weight could be beneficial for quick exchanges at the net, while the thicker core may enhance control. A potential limitation could be reduced power compared to heavier paddles with thinner cores.
