Cutting-Edge Technologies:
Crafted with passion and precision, the Gearbox Pro Series redefines paddle technology and sets a new industry standard. It features three patent-pending technologies and proprietary manufacturing methods for unrivaled performance.
The heart of this series is Gearbox's renowned Solid Span Technology (SST). It incorporates a carbon fiber framework with parallel carbon fiber ribs and impact-resistant face layers, ensuring durability and longevity.
Power Matrix Technology enhances Gearbox's SSTCore, providing significant flex and precise energy transfer. This construction optimizes power, stability, and energy efficiency, resulting in greater force and accuracy.
Integra Shape:
The Pro Control Inegra Paddle combines the best of both worlds with a integra shape. The Integra shape is the exact same as the fusion but with a new name.

You'll experience an incredibly smooth and plush feel on every shot, making it easier to guide the ball with finesse and control. Dinking becomes an art form with this paddle. Resets are smooth and effortless, allowing you to regain control of the point without exerting unnecessary force.
