Gearbox PRO Ultimate Power Elongated Pickleball Paddle (14mm)

The Gearbox PRO Ultimate Power 14mm is an edgeless, elongated power paddle that plays fast and finishes points. The 14mm core gives you more pop than a 16mm while keeping enough touch for resets and dinks, and it is one of the few power paddles that is USA Pickleball Quiet Approved.

What makes it different

Gearbox skips the foam and honeycomb found in most paddles. The PRO series runs on Gearbox's patented SST carbon fiber rib core, built from Toray T-700 mid-modulus carbon. The result is a solid, consistent response across the face and a linear break-in: it starts slightly firm and softens gradually, so it plays predictably from the first session on.

Why the PRO Ultimate Power

• Power with control. The 14mm core hits hard on drives and put-aways and still lets you take pace off.
• Spin. Gearbox's patent-pending TXR Surface Grip Tech on a raw T700 carbon face adds bite for topspin drives and rolls.
• Reach. The 16-1/2" elongated shape with an 11" head extends your coverage and leverage.
• Edgeless. No edge guard, so the full face is playable and the paddle stays clean through the hands.
• Quiet approved. Meets the USAP Quiet Category, so it is legal at noise-restricted courts and communities.
• Two-handed backhand ready. The 5-1/2" handle has room for both hands.
