Know before you buy
The 14mm core is designed to strike a balance between power and control. It provides enough responsiveness for explosive put-aways while maintaining the stability needed for finesse shots at the kitchen.
While the 16.5-inch length offers an excellent reach advantage, it can be slightly less forgiving than a standard-shaped paddle. It is best suited for players who have developed consistent contact and are looking to add more power and reach to their game.
The carbon fiber surface increases the dwell time of the ball on the paddle, which helps generate more spin. This allows you to put more movement on your serves and drives for better shot placement.
Yes, the integrated dampening system is specifically engineered to lower the sound frequency of ball impact. It significantly reduces the 'pop' sound associated with many high-performance paddles, making it a great choice for noise-restricted courts.
At 8.0 oz, this paddle sits in the mid-weight category, providing a solid feel that helps with stability on off-center hits. It is balanced well enough to remain maneuverable during quick exchanges at the net without causing excessive fatigue.
Yes, the 2025 Gearbox Pro Ultimate Power Elongated is USAPA approved, meaning it meets all official regulations for use in sanctioned pickleball tournaments.
