Gearbox PRO Ultimate Hyper 8.0 16mm Carbon Pickleball Paddle
Full video review of the PRO Ultimate Hyper 8.0 16mm Paddle!Designed to serve as a standard shaped partner to the elongated Pro Ultimate, the Gearbox PRO Ultimate Hyper 8.0 16mm Pickleball Paddle brings maneuverability, stability, and power to competitive players everywhere. The Quad-shaped 10.5” by 8” hitting surface of this pressure molded paddle combines the consistency of carbon fiber with the mind-bending tack of a new cured face texture called TXR Surface Grip Technology. These two technologies team up with the shape for exceptional dwell time, tack for spin, and the maneuverability we need to battle at the net. The long 5.5” handle complements this paddles shape by adding reach and room for two hand backhands.
Supplementing the wonderfully performing hitting surface of the Gearbox PRO Ultimate Hyper 8.0 16mm Pickleball Paddle is a 16mm SSTCore with Power Matrix technology. This core skips the honeycomb and instead suspends carbon fiber “ribs” vertically to help impart spin while cushioning impact and returning energy to the ball. The redefined Power Matrix is a construction technique that maximizes energy output from core to frame, while boosting plow through, and enhancing the sweet spot so that we can stay confident in the most heated moments.
