Gearbox PRO Control Integra Carbon Fiber Pickleball Paddle

"Innovative to the Core"

Stealthy, smooth, and easy to control, the Gearbox PRO Control Integra Pickleball Paddle is packed with technological innovations that help you stay ahead of the competition. The key to the control is the 14mm (0.55") thick carbon fiber SST core (a Gearbox proprietary approach). This unique core situates rigid carbon fiber ribs vertically through the core, which are able to compress the ball for impressive dwell time, expand the sweet spot for consistent response, and even work with the hitting surface to help grip the ball and add tremendous spin to your cuts and slices.

Sandwiching the high-performance SST Core of the PRO Control Integra paddle from Gearbox Pickleball is a raw Toray T-700 carbon fiber face material with TXR Surface Grip Technology. This surface allows the natural ridges found in carbon fiber to stay slightly raised and impart spin on the ball. This raw material offers impressive longevity and control, a feeling that is backed up by the rigid feel of this hitting surface that further boosts control without negatively affecting power. The 16" x 7-3/8" dimensions represent a familar shape and feel, which decreases the adjustment period a player would typically need when switching from another paddle.

Lastly, the impressive "quiet tech" which Gearbox has engineered into their PRO paddle line ensures this paddle emits a noticeably lower decibel level when striking a pickleball. This makes the PRO Control Fusion ideal for noise-restricted communities, and masks the power behind your strokes.

Actual grip sizes may vary up to 1/8"

    Who writes these reviews? I play 6 days/week, and I have played with this paddle for the last month and have zero complaints - it hits great. The texture is not just painted on - sure to last much longer than other control paddles. I give it a 10/10.

    Gearbox prides itself in excellent process control, so i am a bit disappointed that at 7.75 oz the weight of my paddle is well outside the specification range 7.9 oz to 8.1 oz. I have not have a chance to play much yet; the paddle feels great and is very responsive. I just hope that the out of specs weight is not an indication of a manufacturing flaw and of a bigger problem

    Upon using this paddle I discovered that the surface appears to be slightly thinner around the perimeter about 1” in from the edge. It’s not different by a lot but it’s noticeable to me and PB Central tells me that once I used a Gearbox paddle they won’t take it back. I have sense observed a couple other paddles and they all have this feature but to me it looks terrible, almost like there is a thicker insert in the middle of the paddle that doesn’t extend all around to the paddles edge. I would like to return it.

    The paddle handles very well - great control and spin. This is the best control paddle I have used.
