Hyper Spin Technology: Get ready to boost your Spin. The GBX’s paddle surface is constructed with Toray Toray T-700 Carbon Fiber. Gearbox achieves its textured surface by utilizing a laser engraved mold to compress the Toray T-700 carbon fiber and resins with extreme pressure and heat, resulting in a surface texture that grips the ball for remarkable spin.
-
Power1 Technology: The Power1 technology consists of a Gearbox engineered lay-up to the throat area of the paddle. This lay-up allows the throat to flex for Power and optimal Stiffness. This technology also increases swing speed, amplifying its power performance.
-
R3 Technology: R3 Technology is a Gearbox engineered lay-up from the head to the handle of the paddle. R3 reinforces and strengthens the paddle’s structure. This lay-up design also avoids injecting or adding unnecessary perimeter weight to maintain the paddle’s maneuverability, ease to rotate and giving the GBX remarkable durability when compared to other honeycomb paddles in its class.
