The GBX Power brings a new proprietary construction to honeycomb performance—delivering a true balance of power and control. The difference comes from Gearbox’s re-engineered Gen-3 construction, developed through years of player feedback—preserving the power and pop players love from Gen-3 paddles, while advancing control, consistency, and durability. This integrated, one-piece design allows the suspended core to work in harmony with the handle, frame, and paddle face, preserving the familiar feel and feedback players expect from a Gen-3 honeycomb build while delivering more spin and dependable performance across the paddle face.

Built for competitive players who demand power without sacrificing control, the GBX Power delivers confidence on every swing. It’s engineered for the modern, power-driven game, with faster hands, heavier spin, and explosive finishes. The paddle fires quickly in fast exchanges, offering the agility players demand in speed-ups, counters, and kitchen battles.

Perfecting a Proven Honeycomb Platform, Built the Gearbox Way - In 2018, Gearbox re-engineered how energy moves through a paddle by introducing the first suspended Gen-3 carbon core. Today, that philosophy extends to a next-generation honeycomb platform—redesigning the construction around the core to deliver powerful, controlled performance, consistent spin, improved durability, and lasting feel, without compromise. Traditional honeycomb paddles rely on heat and pressure to form the frame—often stressing the structure internally and restricting how the face can move at impact. The GBX Power takes a different path.

Its revolutionary design is built as a true unibody structure, molding the handle, perimeter frame, and paddle face plies into a single continuous system. This one-piece construction forms the foundation for a heat- and pressure-free suspended core, with the face anchored to the outermost edge of the frame. The result is a structure that allows the paddle face to move more freely, more evenly, and with greater consistency across the entire hitting surface.

With the paddle functioning as one unified system, energy transfers cleanly from the grip to the face and into the core. You feel the ball compress, load, and spring forward with efficient rebound power—without energy loss, lag, or unwanted vibration. The result is a paddle where the face, frame, and core work together in fluid harmony at contact, delivering:

• more energy return for power
• longer ball engagement for spin
• clean, repeatable control across the paddle face

This isn’t random flex—it’s precision tuning
