Gearbox PRO Ultimate Elongated 16mm Pickleball Paddle

The Gearbox PRO Elongated Ultimate 16mm Pickleball Paddle is designed mainly for professional players who prioritize power, reach, and control. With an elongated 16.5” length and a narrower 7.375” width, this paddle offers extended reach, making it ideal for players who want to cover more of the court and execute precise shots from various angles. The elongated shape maximizes the paddle’s reach while providing a larger sweet spot, giving players more forgiveness on off-center hits and allowing for consistent shot-making.

The 16mm core thickness is crafted for enhanced control and stability, making it easier to maintain accuracy even in high-intensity situations. The Gearbox PRO paddle’s face is constructed from advanced carbon fiber, known for its durability and responsiveness. This carbon fiber face ensures a crisp, powerful hit and excellent spin potential, letting players put more spin on the ball to keep opponents on their toes.

Weighing an average of 8 oz, Gearbox PRO Ultimate provides a mid-weight balance, offering enough heft for solid, powerful shots without feeling cumbersome. The Power Matrix and SST Core technologies are in full swing with the Pro Ultimate. The thin 4" grip circumference, along with Gearbox’s ergonomic grip design, ensures a comfortable and secure hold, allowing players to play with confidence and reduced hand fatigue over long matches. The 5.5” handle length accommodates both one-handed and two-handed backhands, adding versatility and enhancing control for players who utilize different grip styles.

Built with a 140 FAW - Toray T-700 Mid Modulus Carbon Fiber with a patented SST Carbon Fiber Rib Structure, this paddle absorbs shock effectively, reducing vibrations and providing a softer touch for better ball control.
