Holbrook Arma X Metallic 14mm Pickleball Paddle
Description
The Arma X Metallic is the hybrid-shape answer in the Arma line — quicker through the air than the elongated T, with the same patent-pending Dual-Density™ core underneath. The shorter 5.25 in handle pulls balance back toward your hand, which is what makes this paddle feel fast in the exchanges that decide points at the kitchen line.
The metallic face adds grab for players who shape the ball, so you can roll heavy topspin on the attack and still take pace off for a soft reset.
Key Features
- Hybrid X shape: A middle ground between reach and maneuverability — fast in hands battles without giving up plow-through.
- Metallic face: Extra surface grab for heavier spin on rolls, drives, and serves.
- Patent-pending Dual-Density™ Core: Widens the sweet spot so off-center contact still produces a reliable shot.
- 5.25 in handle: Shorter than the T, shifting balance toward the hand for quicker reactions.
- USAP Approved and legal for sanctioned tournament play.

Arma T vs. Arma X
Same core and face technology, different handling. The T runs a 5.5 in handle with weight biased toward the tip for reach and leverage. The X uses a 5.25 in handle for a more head-light, reactive feel. Doubles players who spend most of the point at the net usually prefer the X.
