Holbrook ARMA Power & Precision: Can They Nail Both?

Power paddles are great—until they overshoot and toss out touch. Enter Holbrook’s anticipated ARMA.

Why ARMA Exists

Holbrook’s ARMA is built to answer a problem many power players face: raw pop often destroys dinks and resets. So the ARMA is being engineered with a dual-density core—designed for slam power but still soft enough for touch shots.

What the Video Reveals

According to early features:

  • A dual-density core that gives strong power and dampened feel up front

  • A sharp, athletic design aimed at performance and aesthetics

  • On-court feedback reports: impressive pop and retained control—no mush, no clank

Early Impressions from Playtests

Players are calling out:

  • BIG pop on baseline drives

  • Unexpected control in dinks and net play

  • Balanced feedback—solid but not jarring

That balances the energy: feels like a threat, but stays in your control zone.

Who Should Keep an Eye on ARMA?

  • Power-reliant players wanting to keep more control

  • Aggressive baseliners who hate sacrificing precision

  • Anyone who wants a “sweet-spot paddle” without feel fatigue

TL;DR

  • 🏋️‍♂️ Goal: Premium power with retained control

  • 🧠 Tech: Dual-density core for dynamic effects

  • 🗣️ Playtests: Significant pop, tight precision

  • Ideal for: Players wanting serious “boom” without losing finesse
