SSTCore Technology
Gearbox patented Solid Span Technology (SST) features carbon span structures formed with a solid-state core material that acts as a gearbox for shots—a transfer mechanism that transitions the ball’s energy into various degrees of power, control and spin for any given shot. Energy in—performance out. Focused for control, amplified for power.
Power Band Technology
Pushing the limits of creativity and ingenuity, Gearbox has engineered Power Band Technology. With the Power Band, the paddle’s patented SSTcore is detached and suspended from the perimeter of the paddle, giving the paddle surface a trampoline effect. The band around the edge is a flex zone, allowing for movement and spring off the paddle face. The Power Band gives this paddle a solid, controlled feel with tremendous effortless Power.
Improved Hyper-Bite 2.0 Spin Technology
This technology creates spin from the paddle’s inner patented ribbed SSTcore to the paddle face. Hyper-Bite 2.0 describes a system where various components come together which include the patented ribbed SSTcore, the 3K Woven Carbon Fiber outer face ply, a top urethane face coat and a now top texture face coat, all to give maximum bite and grip on the ball for incredible spin.
Magnified Sweet Spot
The Ultimate Power’s sweet spot performance has been magnified via its Power Band Technology, it now has improved consistency, forgiveness, touch, and power . The Power can be revved up on demand to help drive the ball while maintaining its touch performance for dinks.
Upgraded Edgeless Frame
The first edgeless molded paddle was introduced into pickleball in 2015 by Gearbox, and it has since continued to improve and innovate its design. The Ultimate Power’s Edgeless Frame has been upgraded in two ways: by pushing out more material to the outer edges and adding more plys of carbon fiber to the edge. This gives the Ultimate Power collection improved perimeter weighting, stability with off-center shots, and more power.
3k Woven Carbon Fiber
The CX14 Collections have been crafted with 3K woven carbon fiber on both the face and perimeter of the paddle, unlocking a premium feel and sound, a larger sweet spot, greater spin, added torsion control, and more durability. This new material also helps to reduce vibration back to the hand and gives the paddle face more consistency from the center of the face to the edge.
