Gearbox GX2 Power Elongated, Dual Certified, Limited Edition
This is a limited-edition colorway of Gearbox's GX2 Power Elongated. Gearbox says it keeps the same power, feel and performance as the standard model, and that this is the first GX2 Power Elongated to carry both the USA Pickleball Approved and UPA-A Certified seals on the paddle itself. The GX2 Power is Gearbox's most powerful legal paddle, according to the brand, and this Elongated is the shape Gearbox suggests for baseline drives and aggressive shots. Its shorter, wider sibling is the GX2 Power Hybrid.
What's in it
- SST 2.0 CarbonRibCore: Gearbox's patented core structure, a fully suspended carbon fiber core separated from the frame. Gearbox says it stores and releases energy, and that the carbon fiber core resists wear and deformation.
- 3K woven raw carbon face over a 200 FAW Toray T-700 mid-modulus carbon fiber core.
- Break-in period: Gearbox says the paddle has one, that its length varies with play style, frequency and intensity, and that once broken in it gains speed, dwell time and sweet spot size.
- Elongated shape: Gearbox lists maximum power, extra reach and stability, and suggests it for players with a tennis background and two-handed shots.
Colors: a limited-edition "Bold Colors" colorway.
