Description

GEARBOX GX5 CARBON FIBER PICKLEBALL PADDLE The all new GX5 has a dramatically upgraded feel and sound. The paddle is quieter in and has an incredibly soft feel. The new collection is also offered in two options, Control and Power, allowing players to focus on their preferred paddle type. Gearbox’s vision was to pioneer technology unlike anything ever imagined in pickleball. When you see, hear and hit a Gearbox GX5 paddle, you immediately know what you are experiencing is unlike anything before in pickleball. After many years of extensive research, countless hours of testing and believing that the impossible is possible, Gearbox introduces the GX5, constructed with Patented Solid Span Technology. Choose either the POWER model with a thinner face for transferring more power to the ball or the CONTROL model that features a softer face for the controlled touch game.

    • Nice Paddle
Color: Blue (Power) Size: 8.5oz 3-15/16in (Standard)
This was reccommended to me by a friend. It took me a few weeks to get the hang of a new paddle, but I really like it a lot.

    • Best paddle
Color: Orange (Control) Size: 8.5oz 3-15/16in (Standard)
For me this has been the best paddle for me. I hit the ball hard and it’s very forgiving for me. Thanks for the great paddle

    • Better than Expected
Color: Red (Control) Size: 7.8oz 3-15/16in (Standard)
I was hoping for a few things: a more muted sound, better sweet spot, and light weight for better net play. I was worried about the lack of an edge rim. I've played with the paddle a few weeks now and I play about three days a week for about two hours per day. I'm probably a 4.25 player, still fairly new to the game and from a tennis and table tennis "stroke background." The good news, I think the sound of the hits are more muted than prior rackets - I've used just two before this. Other items: I didn't see a better net game, but a lot of the points I play with my crowd do not get to the net much. They like to bang it and long rallies are rare. But my net play is not worse. I tend to swing a bit early at balls, that's due to my tennis timing and I don't have much of a push shot. I do have a nice backhand loop shot which is effective with this paddle. I'm happy with the net action. Sweet spot... I've played with two paddles for some time and I also have a $15 loaner paddle I bought to lend out. I don't find the sweet spots on any of them to vary much. You need to hit the ball towards the top of the paddle and centered on the grip line. And that is true of all the paddles. So if you don't want to spend a lot of money, you don't have to. Edge guard: when a ball comes off the edge of the paddle, a guard that sticks out can help bring the ball back on line. I was expecting balls to be more likely to deflect off court. Interestingly, this has not happened. Other thoughts: The grip is fine and the edge integrity seems good -- there have been some scrapes due to going for low shots and the damage is only cosmetic. I'm seeing a bit of the logo flaking. I play exclusively outdoors with hard balls and there is probably a bit of grit out there due to fires, etc., this also seems to be cosmetic only. I'm happy with the paddle and its construction. It would have been nice to jump my game by a half rating point, but sadly, you can't buy a game. It looks quite durable and I'll probably only replace it when I get bored and that might be years from now. ... show more

    • I love this paddle!
Color: Red (Control) Size: 7.8oz 3-15/16in (Standard)
I started playing pickleball about 3 1/2 years ago. I play a couple times a week. I started with a "Pickleball Verus" wooden paddle. Very consistent feel but very heavy at 9.2 oz. I progressed to a "Rally Tyro2 Pro", which is only 7.8 oz. I liked the wooden paddle's lack of dead spots and sense of feedback better, so I went back to it for a while. The weight of it started affecting my elbow. So, I went back to the Rally Pro and lived with the less consistent "sweet spot". This Gearbox GX5 combines the best features of my old paddles! It is light at 7.8 oz, but gives the more solid, more consistent feel and feedback of my wooden paddle. I am loving it! ... show more

    • Perfect for beginners
Color: Red (Control) Size: 7.8oz 3-5/8in (Small)
Gearbox was highly recommended by my pickleball coach, and I can understand why. This paddle is very lightweight and has good control.

    • Great paddle
Color: Orange (Control) Size: 8.5oz 3-5/8in (Small)
I love my new Gearbox G5 orange with the slim grip. It has really changed my game. I didn't realize the standard handle circumference of 4+ inches was to blame for my tight grip on the handle. Made too may overshots and less control. Found this paddle also relieved a lot of arm pain after a morning of play. Only negative was the packaging. It was not damaged but it came in a thin plastic cushioned sleeve and paper envelope which I didn't think it was adequately protected for shipping. Was very pleased to find it was not damaged. ... show more

    • demo first, then buy buy buy
Color: Green (Power) Size: 7.8oz 3-15/16in (Standard)
I am a 3.0-3.5 (ish) player coming from a tennis background. I got the green one after demoing the other colors and this ones my favorite. This thing is quick at the net, enough control for consistent dinks, easily takes pace off the ball & has great access to power for a lighter paddle. Can easily & accurately put balls away without putting much effort into the hit. Bonus for tennis players, this grip is super comfortable - you can feel the bevels much better than some other paddles. This may be completely wrong... but it feels to me this paddle has better wind resistance than the other more traditional paddles. My suggestion: pay $20 and demo a few different paddles from Gearbox. There was a noticeable difference between the power & control models in both weights. ... show more
