Gearbox GBX Power Hybrid 16mm
Gen-3 honeycomb performance. Dynamic power. Broad sweet spot.
The Gearbox GBX Power Hybrid 16mm is Gearbox's answer to a specific problem: most thermoformed Gen-3 paddles crush too fast. Built with cold-bond manufacturing and a Suspended Gen-3 PPE Honeycomb Core, the GBX Power preserves honeycomb cell integrity for consistent performance that lasts — delivering predictable power, a broad sweet spot, and repeatable energy return from day one through the life of the paddle.
The Hybrid shape gives you a wider footprint than an elongated, expanding the contact zone for confident swings on counters, blocks, and quick kitchen exchanges. The raw unidirectional carbon fiber face adds spin and a crisp, connected feel on every shot. PBCoR and USAP approved.
Why Players Love It
- Suspended Gen-3 PPE Honeycomb Core — Free face movement for freer, truer response with consistent energy return across the full paddle face
- Cold-Bond Construction — Preserves honeycomb cell integrity vs. thermoforming, reducing core crush and extending paddle life
- Raw Unidirectional Carbon Fiber Face — Natural texture for reliable spin and crisp, responsive feedback on every contact
- Hybrid Shape — Wider footprint and broader sweet spot for a more forgiving, all-court feel vs. elongated shapes
- Precision-Tuned Flex — Engineered flex for dynamic pop and clean rebounds on drives and counters
- PBCoR + USAP Approved — Tournament-legal at every level of play
What It Feels Like On Court
- Dynamic pop with strong energy return on drives and counters
- Broad, forgiving sweet spot that rewards clean contact across the face
- Reliable spin from the raw carbon fiber surface
- Stable, controlled feel for kitchen exchanges and resets
- Consistent performance across the full paddle face
Who Is This Paddle For?
- Players who want Gen-3 power performance without the premium foam-core price
- All-court players who want a wider, more forgiving hybrid shape
- Anyone who values durability and long-term consistent performance
- Intermediate to advanced players looking for a reliable power-control balance
