Gearbox PRO ULTIMATE Power Elongated 14mm Carbon Fiber Pickleball Paddle
Following the success of its thicker counterparts, comes the Gearbox Pro Ultimate Power Elongated 14mm Pickleball Paddle. With a thinner core and an elongated 11” head length, this paddle brings explosive power to the proven tournament-level-precision of the 16mm iterations. Stretching across the 7 3/8” wide hitting surface is Toray T-700 carbon fiber coated with TXR Surface Grip. While the TXR Surface grip brings long lasting tack, the trusted Toray T-700 offers rigidity for dwell time and response that ensures high-caliber spin and promises USAP PBCoR compliance.
The 14mm SSTCore inside the Gearbox Pro Ultimate Power Elongated 14mm Pickleball Paddle is 2mm thinner than its 16mm siblings. This thinner design, in conjunction with the updated Enhanced Power Matrix, promises next-level power efficiency and even more spin than the high-caliber surface provides. This spin comes from the beloved SSTCore that uniquely utilizes vertical carbon fiber ribs where other paddles use polypropylene. The benefits of this core and its foam perimeter don’t stop there, it also keeps the decibels down, allowing this paddle to also register as USAP Quiet Approved. Finally, the narrow 4” diameter, 5 ½” long smooth-wrap handle helps us handle this weapon with confidence straight out of the box.
Gearbox paddles are excluded from our 30 day Paddle Test Drive.
