Specs checked against Holbrook's official product page on Sep 25, 2026. Specs come from Holbrook's Aero Metallic T page, which sells 16mm and 14mm versions. Holbrook lists the weight as 7.7-8.0 oz and the swing weight as 112-115 (we show the midpoints), and does not name the core material. It is on sale for $169.99 (regular $199.99), the warranty is Holbrook's site-wide 1-year policy, and USA Pickleball approval is not stated. Manufacturers change specs and prices; the brand page is the source of truth.
