The Aero Metallic has quickly risen to become one of my favorite paddles of 2024. I believe it's currently one of the best edgeless paddles currently on the market.

In this video, I'll share my thoughts along with some stats and details you should know about it.

hi, like your videos. That said, I think it's important that you say at the outset that you have some arrangement with Holbrook, if you still do. I have a friend who has the paddle and it has nowhere near the spin out of the box. I'm thinking that manufactures supply you with paddles, which are more gritty than the production units perhaps?

You convinced me to get this paddle and throw on the hesacore grip. I’m in love with it! Keep up the great work! Love the videos. Also, I’m going to send in my video for the paddle challenge soon!

I got mine last week and used it for the first time yesterday. My hits are way better and I get more spin off it. I do a question for anyone who knows this, is there a special way to clean this paddle or can I just use an eraser for it like any other carbon fiber paddle?

Ed have you tried the j2ti by chance? Curious how these comp. Very intrigued.

I have one, been playing with it for a month and it’s a sleeper. I have never put more spin on balls than with this paddle. Sweet spot is good/great. Handle is long enough for 2 hand back. Good control.
I still added 3 gram weights to the 10-2 and 4-8. Weighs 8.4 but I like a heavier paddle. Owned about 5 paddles and this is by far my favorite.

Paddle sold out because of Ed!
Order now and get mid of feb 😅

[KingBrondon]

I ordered this paddle and it was not gritty at all. Im hoping they let me exchange it for a different one

[Guinnessdog]

Ordered mine in mid December, now website is saying mid February ☹️

Id like to test this out similar to a program that Gearbox uses. The paddle looks intriguing, namely the internal weights and metallic grit but the 16mm and longer handle might not be ideal for me. I use a short handle CRBN 2x 14mm but Im open to trying something new next year. Great review!

aero paddles are awesome.. waiting on 14mm metallic

[omerchaudhry]

How does it compare to double diamond or ruby

[weiwang]

Can you compare it with Pro - Aero T, Pro - Aero X? Thanks.

Ed I literally was researching this paddle!

Gearbox Pro Power Elongated gets delisted on July 1

Wow I guess ppl are still buying western paddles

[tanthony]

OVERPRICED. DROP IT TO $150 TOPS.
IT'S METALLIC COLORED textile, NOT ACTUAL METAL. Look it up. Deceptive AF

[kylepickleball]

So another paddle referencing metal in its name but doesn't contain metal
