Description
This is the first offering by Gearbox in the premium PPE honeycomb core category.
With its Hyper Spin and Power1 Technology, the GBX packs Spin, Power and a smooth feel behind every shot. Designed with a higher swing weight, it adds a nice pop during play. It is power-focused but will deliver control on demand.
The GBX offers effortless performance with the renowned engineering and durability Gearbox is known for.
The GBX is the paddle of choice for Gearbox professional athletes Michelle Esquivel, Wyatt Stone and Barry Waddell.
Get ready to boost your Spin. The GBX’s paddle surface is constructed with Toray Toray T-700 Carbon Fiber. Gearbox achieves its textured surface by utilizing a laser engraved mold to compress the Toray T-700 carbon fiber and resins with extreme pressure and heat, resulting in a surface texture that grips the ball for remarkable spin.
The Power1 technology consists of a Gearbox engineered lay-up to the throat area of the paddle. This lay-up allows the throat to flex for Power and optimal Stiffness. This technology also increases swing speed, amplifying its power performance.
R3 Technology is a Gearbox engineered lay-up from the head to the handle of the paddle. R3 reinforces and strengthens the paddle’s structure. This lay-up design also avoids injecting or adding unnecessary perimeter weight to maintain the paddle’s maneuverability, ease to rotate and giving the GBX remarkable durability when compared to other honeycomb paddles in its class.
