Elongated 16.5" paddle with Gen-3 Suspended PPE Honeycomb core, raw unidirectional carbon face, and a 5.5" handle for extended reach, controlled power, and consistent spin.

Middleweight/Small Grip

Gearbox GBX Power Elongated Pickleball Paddle

Built for players who like to pressure from the baseline, the Gearbox GBX Power Elongated Pickleball Paddle uses its 16.5" shape to create easy leverage, added reach, and more natural extension through the ball. That shows up on drives, passing shots, and any rally where extra paddle length helps you cover more court and swing with more authority.

The biggest story here is the Gen-3 Suspended PPE Honeycomb core. Gearbox positions this construction as a more refined honeycomb build that preserves the feel players want while improving power, control, consistency, and durability. In play, that gives the Elongated a more composed response on bigger swings, so you can attack with confidence without making the paddle feel overly jumpy. Compared to the Hybrid, this shape is the more reach-driven and leverage-oriented option for players who want to finish points with pace.

Key Features

  • Gen-3 Suspended PPE Honeycomb Core - Re-engineered honeycomb construction designed for cleaner energy transfer, better consistency, and improved long-term durability.
  • Elongated 16.5" Shape - Longer profile adds reach, leverage, and more power potential on drives, counters, and passing shots.
  • Raw Unidirectional Carbon Fiber Face - Raw carbon surface promotes spin production and a more connected feel at contact.
  • Thermoformed Construction - Reinforces the structure for a stable response and dependable feel through repeated impact.
  • 5.5" Handle Length - Extended handle supports two-handed backhands and gives players extra room to work through contact.
 
Expert Review
"The Elongated GBX Power feels made for players who attack with length and leverage. The core keeps the response steady, so you can swing hard from the baseline and still trust the ball to stay on line."
— PickleballCentral Gear Expert

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is the GBX Power Elongated best for?
This shape is best for players who want extra reach, more leverage through contact, and a stronger baseline presence. If you like to drive the ball, attack passing lanes, or use a two-handed backhand with an extended handle, the Elongated is the more aggressive of the two GBX Power shapes.
How does the Elongated compare to the GBX Power Hybrid?
Both paddles use the same Gen-3 Suspended PPE Honeycomb core, raw carbon face, and 16mm thickness, so the biggest difference is shape. The Elongated gives you more reach and leverage, while the Hybrid offers a broader face and a more forgiving sweet spot.
What makes the core the biggest selling point?
The Gen-3 Suspended PPE Honeycomb core is the key technology behind the GBX Power line. Gearbox designed it to improve the usual honeycomb experience with better consistency, more efficient energy transfer, and stronger durability, so the paddle feels powerful and controlled without losing the feel players already like from honeycomb builds.
What is the grip circumference?
This model features a 4" small grip circumference, which can help players who prefer quicker hand speed and a more maneuverable handle feel.
*Actual grip sizes may vary up to 1/8".
Does the 16mm Elongated still feel powerful?
Yes. The 16mm build helps keep the response more controlled, but the elongated shape still gives the paddle strong leverage and plenty of pace potential. It is a good fit for players who want power that feels usable rather than overly hot.
