Gearbox G16 Pickleball Paddle

The G16 is designed for players who prioritize control and precision over raw power. Its 16mm core and raw carbon fiber face make it an excellent choice for players who rely on touch shots, dinking, and consistent ball placement at the net.

The edgeless carbon fiber frame helps dampen vibrations upon impact, providing a more solid, stable feel. It also increases the paddle's durability and slightly expands the usable hitting surface, giving you a bit more forgiveness on off-center shots.

At an average weight of 8.0 oz, the G16 falls into the mid-weight category. This balance provides enough mass to drive the ball when needed, while remaining agile enough for quick exchanges and fast-paced net play.

Yes, the raw Toray T700 carbon fiber face has a naturally textured surface that grips the ball effectively. This texture allows you to generate significant spin on serves, drives, and slices, giving you more control over the ball's trajectory.

Yes, the Gearbox G16 is USAP approved, meaning it meets all the necessary regulations and standards for use in sanctioned pickleball tournaments.

The 5.5-inch handle is slightly longer than average, which is ideal if you prefer a two-handed backhand or simply want a bit more reach and leverage during your swing.
