Gearbox GX2 Power Pickleball Paddle

The 16.5-inch length provides extra leverage for baseline drives and overheads, giving you more reach on the court. It is designed for players who want to maximize their swing arc and generate more power, though it may require a slight adjustment if you are used to a standard-shaped paddle.

Unlike traditional honeycomb cores, this suspended carbon rib structure acts like a spring, storing energy on impact and releasing it for added pop. It creates a distinct, responsive feel that helps with both power and ball dwell time for better spin control.

It is designed to bridge the gap between the two. While the core technology is engineered for power, the 16mm thickness and carbon fiber surface provide enough dwell time and stability to maintain control and finesse during touch shots.

The 5.5-inch handle is slightly longer than average, which is ideal if you prefer a two-handed backhand or like having extra room to adjust your grip during play. It complements the elongated shape by providing better leverage for your swing.

Toray T-700 is a high-modulus carbon fiber known for its durability and consistent performance. While all raw carbon surfaces will eventually lose some texture over time, this material is built to maintain its responsiveness and spin-generating capabilities longer than standard composite faces.

At 8 ounces, this paddle sits in the mid-weight range, offering a balance between stability and maneuverability. The optimized swing and twist weights are designed to keep the paddle stable on off-center hits, helping you maintain hand speed during quick exchanges at the kitchen.
