Introducing the Gearbox Pro Power Fusion 8.0 Pickleball Paddle, a true marvel of pickleball engineering that unleashes your full potential on the court. This paddle is designed to provide amplified power, control, precision, and durability, setting a new standard in pickleball gameplay.
Advanced SSTCore Technology:
At the core of the Pro Series lies Gearbox's renowned Solid Span Technology (SST), now enhanced with patent (US 10377093). SSTCore incorporates a carbon fiber framework with parallel carbon fiber rib cores and impact-resistant face layers, ensuring exceptional durability.
SSTCore is an advanced energy-transfer mechanism designed to capture and amplify energy for an explosive and responsive performance on the court. Players will experience unparalleled power, control, precision, and durability.
Enhanced Power Matrix Technology:
Power Matrix Technology, a patent-pending innovation, is designed to enhance Gearbox's patented SSTCore™ Technology. This technology creates separation between the core, paddle frame, and handle, allowing for significant flex and precise control of energy transfer.
The Power Matrix optimizes power, enhances control, provides stability, and delivers efficient energy transfer. It stores and releases more energy upon ball impact, resulting in greater force and accuracy. This enhancement elevates overall performance, delivering a powerful, precise, and responsive playing experience.
TXR Surface Grip Technology:
Gearbox TXR Surface Grip Technology is a pioneering advancement in pickleball paddle design. It successfully applies a cured textured ply on internally pressurized molded paddles, enhancing player experience.
This groundbreaking technology amplifies feel, spin, and sweet spot dynamics through optimized deflection and the interaction of the finely segmented SSTCore™ Technology. The textured surface ply offers unmatched tactile feedback, allowing players precise control and spin manipulation. An expanded sweet spot ensures consistent and powerful shots, even on off-center hits.
Fusion Shape for Superior Performance:
The Fusion shape combines the best elements of the Quad and Elongated paddle shapes, providing extreme maneuverability, lightning-fast shots, and precise ball placement. It's ideal for delicate drop shots and a wide range of playing styles.
With advanced SSTCore™ technology, this paddle guarantees explosive energy transfer and an expansive, intelligent sweet spot for superior shot accuracy.
The Gearbox Pro Power Fusion 8.0 Pickleball Paddle is a game-changer on the court, delivering unrivaled power, precision, and control. Its innovative features, including enhanced SSTCore, Power Matrix Technology, and TXR Surface Grip Technology, make it the ultimate choice for players seeking a power paddle that still has a great amount of control. Get ready to command authority on the court and keep your opponents on edge with the quiet speed of your winning shots.

Background: I started playing a year ago and my first real paddle was the Selkirk Power Air S2. I loved that paddle - it was light, has great control and felt natural with my tennis background. I switched as I was looking for something with more power...i demoed the Pro Power and really loved the "pop" on my ground strokes and volleys. That said, for the first week or so I was hitting many of my serves and ground strokes long....so this paddle does take a bit to get used to. Although I'm still figuring out how to harness the power, I love the feel of the paddle. if you are considering, I would highly recommend demoing before committing to a purchase given the high price tag. All that said, I highly recommend - but probably for a 3.5 level and above player. It's definitely too much paddle for beginners...

Out of the box it felt a little dead. After about 8 hours of playing time it got way faster. Now, after 12 hours of play it has alot of pop.

Paddle right out of the box had zero power. Seems that gearbox has a major quality control problem going on here. Just check all the youtube comments on reviews. Lucky I bought here because myself and several other people who have these will be returning. It seems gearbox sent all the reviewers loaded paddles to get good reviews then shipped consumers dead paddles. I sent mine to John Kew Pickleball my paddle for another opinion.
