At a swing weight of 117 it stays quick in your hands while still carrying enough mass to hit through the ball, which is why it works as well for developing players as it does for experienced ones who value consistency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBalanced all-court design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Refined blend of control, power, and spin with no glaring weakness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e16mm core:\u003c\/strong\u003e Longer dwell time for softer resets, controlled drops, and a forgiving feel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSwing weight of 117:\u003c\/strong\u003e Quick enough for hands battles, substantial enough to drive.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwist weight of 6.5:\u003c\/strong\u003e Strong resistance to head twisting on off-center contact.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuits beginner through advanced players\u003c\/strong\u003e — a genuine long-term paddle rather than something you outgrow in a season.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree colorways:\u003c\/strong\u003e White, Blue, and Pink.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTech Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSkill Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Beginner to Advanced\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.0 oz (+\/- 0.2 oz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCore Thickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePaddle Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePaddle Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrip Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrip Circumference:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.25\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSwing Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 117\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwist Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Mav a good paddle for beginners?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes. The 16mm core and twist weight of 6.5 make it forgiving on mishits, and the balanced feel doesn't force a particular playing style. It's also a paddle you can keep using as you improve, rather than replacing after a few months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMav or Zone?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Mav is the all-court option at swing weight 117 with a higher twist weight (6.5) for stability. The Zone is a dedicated power paddle at swing weight 120. If you're between them, the Mav is the safer choice — it does more things well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does twist weight actually mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIt measures how much the paddle head resists twisting when you hit the ball away from center. Higher is more forgiving. At 6.5, the Mav is notably stable for a paddle at this price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the grip size adjustable?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe handle is 4.25 in circumference with a 5.5 in length. Adding an overgrip increases circumference by roughly 1\/16 in, which is the standard way to build it up if you prefer a thicker handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use a two-handed backhand?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes. The 5.5 in handle gives enough room for a two-handed backhand, unlike shorter 5 in handles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the color change anything?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNo — White, Blue, and Pink are identical in specs and construction.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Holbrook","offers":[{"title":"White","offer_id":51668933443879,"sku":"P-MAV","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue","offer_id":51668933476647,"sku":"P-MAV-B","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pink","offer_id":51668933509415,"sku":"P-MAV-P","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1248\/6269\/files\/holbrook-mav-16mm-all-court-pickleball-paddle-8106059.png?v=1784527567","url":"https:\/\/www.racquetpoint.com\/products\/holbrook-mav-16mm-all-court-pickleball-paddle","provider":"Racquet Point","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
