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.
