Gearbox PRO Control Integra Pickleball Paddle Any player looking to take their game to the next level, the Gearbox PRO Control Integra Pickleball Paddle is meticulously engineered for anyone who seeks enhanced control, precision, and touch on the court. This highly advanced paddle utilizes several different types of technologies: Power Matrix Technology, TXR Surface Grip Technology, Quiet Tech Sound Technology, PrecisionCore Technology, Smart Dampen Technology, and Flexplay Technology. Once the Fusion, now the Integra™ perfectly describes the origin of the shape, since it was formed by merging qualities from both Gearbox's Elongated and Quad shape. Featuring Gearbox’s Fusion Carbon Fiber face, this paddle delivers a highly responsive feel that allows players to place shots with pinpoint accuracy while maintaining a smooth, soft touch. The carbon fiber surface is specially textured to maximize spin potential, giving players a tactical advantage for executing spin-loaded shots that challenge their opponents. With an average weight of 8.0 oz and a weight range from 7.9 to 8.1 oz, PRO Control Integra is nicely balanced, offering stability without compromising agility. This midweight paddle has a design that provides players with a controlled swing while supporting powerful shots from the baseline, making it ideal for versatile play. The thin grip circumference, paired with Gearbox’s comfortable, ergonomic grip, ensures a secure hold that minimizes slippage and reduces hand fatigue, even during extended play. The handle length of 5.5” accommodates both single and two-handed backhands, allowing for greater control and adaptability in various play styles. Paddle measures 16” in length and 7.375” in width, creating a generous hitting surface and an expanded sweet spot, which boosts consistency in off-center shots and enhances overall shot accuracy. Inside, the paddle features Gearbox’s innovative Solid Span Technology (SST) core, known for its superior shock absorption, which minimizes vibrations for a smooth, comfortable feel on each strike. This core construction supports stability, enabling players to maintain control in high-intensity rallies and close net play.
