Paddle Face Finish: Toray T700 (Raw Carbon Fiber) Core Material: 140 FAW - Toray T-700 Mid Modulus Carbon Fiber Core Construction: Patented SST Carbon Fiber Rib Structure Weight: 8.0 oz Handle Circumference: 4” grip Handle Length: 5-1/2" Paddle Length: 16" Paddle Width: 8" Paddle Thickness: 16mm Gearbox Pro Ultimate Hyper Pickleball Paddle The Gearbox Pro Ultimate Hyper paddle is the first 16mm, wide body addition to the PRO series. Created with breakthrough engineering and cutting-edge technology for a versatile performance. This widebody paddle effortlessly combines the maneuverability, stability and power that every player craves. Unique Design for Ultimate Performance What sets this shape apart is its unique design refinements, including a longer handle paired with a shorter, Quad-shaped face. This configuration allows for extended reach with quick maneuverability, much like an 11mm paddle, but with the stability and feel expected from a thicker core paddle. The longer handle accommodates two-handed shots with ease, while the paddle’s increased twist weight and larger effective hitting area delivers consistent, accurate, and forgiving shots. With its enhanced dwell time, reset control, and a dynamic playstyle, the Ultimate Hyper 16mm is designed for players seeking an innovative, fast, and maneuverable paddle for competitive play. Cutting-Edge Technology Rooted in the advancements of the Pro Ultimate line, its refined design incorporates the Patented SST Core and Patent-Pending Powerband technology, ensuring optimal energy transfer, superior responsiveness, and enhanced power. The 16mm frame offers a softer touch, improved stability, and a larger sweet spot, making it ideal for maintaining control in high-pressure situations. SSTCore™ Technology At the heart of the Pro Series is Gearbox's patented Solid Span Technology (SST) (No. US 10,377,093), featuring multiple carbon fiber ribs running parallel along the paddle face to form the advanced SSTCore™. This unique core enhances energy transfer for explosive performance, giving players unmatched power, control, precision, and durability in every shot. Redefined Power Matrix The patent-pending Power Matrix enhances SSTCore’s energy transfer, boosting power efficiency to deliver unmatched explosive power on demand. By maximizing energy output between the core, paddle frame, and handle, it optimizes power, stability, and controlled play, resulting in greater force, accuracy, and an overall superior playing experience. TXR Surface Grip Technology The Pro Series revolutionizes paddle engineering with Gearbox's pioneering TXR Surface Grip Technology, the first to apply a cured textured ply on internally pressurized molded paddles. This groundbreaking technology enhances player experience by improving feel, spin, and sweet spot dynamics, offering precise control, spin manipulation, and consistent powerful shots, even on off-center hits. Enhanced Twist Weight The improved twist weight provides more stability, enlarges the sweet spot and delivers pinpoint accuracy and consistency. Smart Dampen Technology This groundbreaking approval ensures our paddle reduces noise, making it the perfect choice for noise-sensitive areas. Improved Dwell Time Enhanced dwell time offers superior ball grip for effortless shot shaping and powerful spin.
