GEARBOX GX2 Elongated (16mm)

Classic Design, Revolutionary Performance

Introducing the GX2, powered by the revolutionary SST 2.0 CarbonRibCore™—the next generation of paddle technology. GX2 delivers exceptional power, consistent performance, and enhanced control, providing a responsive connection with every shot. While it may resemble a traditional honeycomb paddle at first glance, the GX2 is truly in a league of its own. Designed for unmatched stability and durability, it boasts four times the strength of traditional honeycomb cores and twice the strength of closed-cell foam paddles. The result is a paddle that seamlessly blends precision and power, maintaining the familiar honeycomb paddle feel, expanding the sweet spot, and enhancing carbon fiber strength for next-level performance.

The GX2 Elongated shape offers excellent leverage, enabling more power with less effort. Its extended length enhances reach, ball control, and stability, while the larger sweet spot ensures consistent performance. This shape strikes a perfect balance between power and precision, offering both aggressive power and strategic control. It's ideal for players who like to drive the ball from the baseline and serves as a smooth transition paddle for tennis players, thanks to its length and familiar grip.

GX2 offers a short and linear break-in time, providing a refined feel and consistent performance from the start. The GX2 meets the latest USAP PBCoR Standards and addresses common paddle issues like excessive power after break-in, rapid wear, and degradation. The GX2 sets a new benchmark in pickleball, delivering consistent excellence for players at every level.

Generates more power with less effort, better reach and control, a larger sweet spot, and quick spin—perfect for aggressive shots, baseline drives, and players with a tennis background.
