Holbrook Fuze

Our take on the Fuze Elongated

The Holbrook Fuze uses a “dual density core” that features a low-density foam in the bottom/middle of the paddle and a high-density foam at the top of the paddle and down the sides. Holbrook says these layers were strategically placed to enhance power on full swings while adding forgiveness on off-center hits.

Questions people ask about the Fuze Elongated

Is the Holbrook Fuze worth $229.99?

Yes, if you want full-foam power with a bit more forgiveness. Its dual-density core adds power on center hits and is a little kinder on mishits.

Who should buy the Holbrook Fuze?

Players who like the firm, poppy feel of full foam but want the power dialed back a little. It's easy to adjust to and predictable off the face.

Is the Holbrook Fuze a power paddle or a control paddle?

It leans toward control for a foam paddle. It's more controllable than the Selkirk Boomstik or Bread & Butter Loco, so drives and serves won't overwhelm opponents.

Does the Holbrook Fuze have good spin?

It's solid for full foam. Shot shaping on flicks matches or beats many foam paddles but trails many Gen 3 options, and the firm feel makes topspin roll dinks harder.

Is the Holbrook Fuze USAP approved?

Yes, it's approved by both USA Pickleball and the UPA-A, so it's legal in any sanctioned tournament.
