GEARBOX GX2 Hyper (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 Hyper shape is built for players who prioritize speed, agility, and control. Its wide body and compact head provide exceptional quickness, ideal for fast exchanges at the kitchen. The extended handle offers a natural feel for two-handed shots, perfect for finesse and precision.

While shorter than the Elongated and Integra XL shapes, the Hyper shape excels in hand battles with faster reactions and agility for quick, explosive shots at close range. Its wider hitting surface increases stability and forgiveness, ensuring consistent performance, even on off-center hits. Optimized for players who value agility and touch over raw power, the Hyper shape is perfect for dominating the kitchen and excelling in finesse-driven play.

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.
