Gearbox GX2 Power Hybrid 16mm Pickleball Paddle

The Gearbox GX2 Power Hybrid 16mm Pickleball Paddle redefines what powerful, legal
performance can feel like. Designed by the brand that pioneered the power revolution,
the GX2 Power delivers an entirely new level of controlled explosiveness—combining
dynamic force with precision and finesse in every shot.

At the heart of the GX2 lies Gearbox’s patented SST 2.0 CarbonRibCore™, a
groundbreaking suspended carbon core that separates the paddle’s internal structure
from its frame. This unique construction allows the core to store and unleash energy
with remarkable efficiency, producing explosive ball speed without sacrificing control.
Every drive, volley, and counterattack comes off the face with added depth and pace,
while the extended ball contact time enhances spin and placement for superior
accuracy.

The 3K Woven Raw Carbon Fiber face complements the carbon core perfectly, giving
players the textured feedback needed for spin-heavy topspin drives, sharp angle shots,
and precise resets at the kitchen. The hybrid head shape further expands the sweet
spot, ensuring consistent power even on off-center hits. Together, these features deliver
a level of responsiveness and stability that makes the GX2 Power feel alive in your
hands—predictable, yet devastatingly effective.

Gearbox’s design approach to the GX2 Power Hybrid focuses on more than brute force.
The 16mm profile provides a thicker, more stable feel at impact, absorbing vibration
while maintaining a crisp response. As the paddle breaks in, the core naturally
evolves—unlocking greater dwell time, added touch, and an even smoother energy
transfer. The result is “mastered power”—a controlled explosiveness that rewards
confident swings and smart play.

The paddle’s 5.5-inch handle and 4-inch grip circumference cater to modern, versatile
players who prefer a two-handed backhand or extended reach during quick exchanges.
Its 8.0-ounce weight offers the ideal balance of maneuverability and drive power, while
the hybrid shape allows quick reactions in hand battles without losing the reach needed
for passing shots or baseline drives.

Durability is another hallmark of the GX2. Its fully carbon fiber construction resists wear
and deformation far beyond traditional honeycomb paddles, maintaining consistency
match after match. Backed by Gearbox’s one-year warranty and engineered to outlast
conventional builds, it’s a paddle designed for serious players who expect long-term
performance.

With a massive sweet spot, explosive energy release, and refined precision, the GX2
Power Hybrid 16mm is the paddle that challenges limits. Whether you’re attacking with topspin drives or finessing dinks with delicate control, it gives you the tools to dominate from anywhere on the court.
