Know before you buy
Yes, it is designed specifically for that. The paddle features an extended 5.5-inch handle, which provides ample space for players who prefer a two-handed backhand grip.
The 14mm core is a middle-ground thickness that balances power and control. It offers enough stability for aggressive baseline drives while remaining maneuverable enough for quick exchanges at the kitchen line.
The unibody, one-piece construction eliminates the weak points often found in paddles with glued-on edge guards. This design results in a more stable, durable paddle that feels solid and consistent across the entire hitting surface.
Yes, the surface is engineered with a spin-enhanced texture. This grit helps the paddle grip the ball upon contact, allowing you to impart more spin on your shots for better control and placement.
Yes, the Gearbox G2 Elongated is USAPA approved, meaning it meets all the necessary regulations for use in sanctioned pickleball tournaments.
The elongated 16.5-inch length provides extra reach, which is particularly helpful for covering more court space and extending your reach during kitchen battles. However, it may require a slight adjustment period if you are used to a standard, wider paddle shape.
