Gearbox GX2 Power Elongated 16mm Pickleball Paddle

The Gearbox GX2 Power Elongated 16mm Pickleball Paddle pushes the limits of legal paddle performance, blending explosive energy with refined precision for players who crave reach, control, and dynamic power. Engineered with the revolutionary SST 2.0 CarbonRibCore, this paddle transforms every swing into a statement of strength and consistency—offering the feel of a traditional paddle with the unmatched performance only Gearbox can deliver.

At its core lies the SST 2.0 CarbonRibCore, a fully suspended carbon structure that stores and releases energy with incredible efficiency. This innovative design amplifies every drive, spin, and volley, giving you the power to control points from anywhere on the court. The elongated frame enhances leverage, allowing you to generate more pace with less effort while maintaining smooth handling through quick exchanges. Whether you’re driving baseline winners or reaching for a tough overhead, the GX2 Power Elongated delivers strength and stability without compromise.

The paddle’s 3K Woven Raw Carbon face maximizes friction and spin, giving your shots extra bite and precision placement. The 16mm profile offers a solid, stable feel while absorbing vibration for a clean, responsive touch. Players who rely on strategic power will appreciate how the paddle maintains that “connected” feel through every contact—providing consistency from the softest dink to the heaviest topspin drive.

Built to last, the GX2 is up to four times stronger than traditional honeycomb cores and twice as strong as foam paddles. Its carbon construction resists wear and compression, maintaining energy return and playability long after competitors would fade. With a short, predictable break-in period, it quickly settles into its peak performance zone, unlocking refined control and a noticeably larger sweet spot over time.

The elongated 16.5" shape gives players extended reach and leverage, while the 5.5" handle and 4" grip make it perfect for those using two-handed backhands or seeking extra whip on drives. At 8.0 ounces, it offers a balanced feel—light enough for fast reactions yet substantial enough for commanding power.

From baseline slams to tight net battles, the GX2 Power Elongated is built to dominate every dimension of the game. For players with a tennis background or those who thrive on attacking play, this paddle delivers the ideal combination of reach, responsiveness, and raw energy—redefining what controlled power truly means.
