Know before you buy
The elongated shape, measuring 16.5 inches in length, provides extra reach that helps you cover more of the court. It is particularly useful for extending your range on wide shots and adding leverage to your overheads.
The edgeless frame design increases the paddle's stability and creates a more aerodynamic feel through the air. It also eliminates the risk of mishitting the ball on an edge guard, allowing you to utilize the entire surface area of the paddle face.
While the Gearbox G2 is designed with intermediate players in mind, its balanced composite face and shock-absorbing core make it accessible for beginners looking to upgrade from a starter paddle. However, the elongated shape requires a bit more precision than a standard wide-body paddle.
Yes, the textured surface is specifically engineered to grip the ball upon contact. This added friction helps you generate more topspin or backspin, giving you better control over the ball's trajectory and placement.
The 14mm polymer honeycomb core strikes a balance between power and control. It is thick enough to dampen vibrations and provide a soft, stable feel on dinks, but still responsive enough to generate power on aggressive drives.
Yes, the Gearbox G2 Elongated Pickleball Paddle is USAPA approved, meaning it meets all the necessary regulations for use in sanctioned tournament play.
