Holbrook Zone Power 16mm Pickleball Paddle

This paddle is built for players who want power that shows up naturally, not power that has to be forced. The elongated frame and Gen 3 construction found in The Holbrook Zone Power 16mm Pickleball Paddle brings that pop and power with a lively response through the hitting zone, allowing drives and counters to penetrate deeper with a smoother swing.

Additionally, the 16mm low density polypropylene core works with EVA edge foam to keep the face steady on contact, reducing flutter and widening the usable hitting area. That combination helps the paddle stay predictable when blocking heavy shots or resetting under pressure which means we still get the crisp feedback expected from a power-oriented carbon face, but the feel never crosses into harsh.

Key Features

• Textured Peel Ply Carbon Fiber Face - Produces a crisp strike with reliable spin generation for aggressive shot shaping.
• Low Density Polypropylene Honeycomb Core - Enhances energy return for added power while preserving dwell and control.
• EVA Edge Foam Integration - Improves torsional stability and enlarges the effective sweet spot-on off-center contact.
• Elongated 16.5 Inch Profile - Adds reach and leverage for serves, drives, and a 5.5” handle for two-handed backhands.
• Power Focused Swing Weight (120) - Creates deeper ball penetration without sacrificing hand speed at the net.

Expert Snapshot Review
