Gearbox GX2 Integra XL Pickleball Paddle (16mm)

The Gearbox GX2 Integra XL is an all-court paddle built for players who win at the kitchen line. It gives you the reach and leverage of an elongated shape in a head that is 1/8" shorter, so your hands stay fast in firefights and your resets stay soft.

What makes the GX2 different

It looks like a honeycomb paddle. It is not one. The GX2 runs on Gearbox's patented SST 2.0 CarbonRibCore, a ribbed carbon structure that Gearbox rates at four times the strength of a traditional honeycomb core and twice the strength of closed-cell foam. You get the familiar honeycomb feel with a bigger sweet spot, steadier response across the face, and none of the power creep that shows up in foam paddles after break-in.

Why the Integra XL shape

• Quick at the net. The slightly shorter head moves faster in hand battles and direction changes.
• Touch for the soft game. Control-leaning feel for dinks, drops and resets.
• Enough pop from the back. Solid power on baseline drives and mid-court volleys.
• Built for two hands. A 5-1/2" handle and redesigned throat make two-handed backhands natural.
• Short, linear break-in. It plays the same on day one as it does months in.
