Description
The HOLBROOK Arma: Metallic X is a hybrid pickleball paddle from the ARMA line, blending the reach of a T-shape with the quick handling of an S-shape. It suits players who want a balanced, attacking paddle that still controls well at the net. Its main difference is the hybrid shape, which gives you more power than a standard S-shape without sacrificing maneuverability.
Key Features
- Dual Density™ Core – higher-density zones add stability and a larger effective sweet spot.
- Low-density zones – add pop and power while keeping control on finishing shots.
- Hybrid shape – extra reach and power from the T-shape with quick, precise handling from the S-shape.
- Thermoformed inner core – a consistent construction for predictable feel from shot to shot.
