HAND LAID FIBER H7 TECHNOLOGY
Hand-Laid H7 Fiber Technology describes the entire construction of the GH7+ paddle, from the core to the face. The core is constructed with a 7mm wide by 12mm depth Polypropylene (PPE) honeycomb. Gearbox custom builds the face of the GH7+, using a combination of both Unidirectional and Woven Fiberglass Plies. The unique advantage of this hand-laid technique is that fiber plies can be applied in various angles, shapes, and placement along the paddle face allowing Gearbox engineers to give this collection an outstanding performance and overall feel. In addition, Gearbox is able to reinforce specific areas of the paddle face, greatly improving the overall durability of the paddle.
CONTROL WITH POWER
The GH7+ offers the optimal balance between Power and Control. This collection has an amazing crisp feel. The control in this paddle is exceptional, helping you defeat your opponent at the kitchen. This paddle also offers Power on Demand for baseline play, the serve, and an overhead smash. The GH7+ is built to excel in those critical moments when you need your paddle to do what it is designed to do, elevate your game!
MOLDED URETHANE FOAM HANDLE
First impressions are critical. Your first impression of any paddle, is the initial feel of that paddle in your hand. The GH7+ features an Ergonomic Urethane Foam Molded Handle to improve the feel and comfort of the grip. We want you to experience the quality, comfort and excellence from the first moment you pick up a Gearbox paddle.
Hyper-Bite Spin Technology
Hyper-Bite Spin Technology gives the paddle surface more ball bite, maximizing spin.

I'm a longtime racquetballer so I know the Gearbox name. I've been playing with this paddle for the last 2 weeks and am really enjoying how it feels. It seems like they make a quality product no matter the sport
