Gearbox continues to lead and redefine the boundaries of pickleball performance with the introduction of the all-new Pro Ultimate 16mm. Rooted in advanced engineering principles and bolstered by cutting-edge technology, this paddle represents the next step and a leap forward to bridge the gap between a paddle that delivers Power and Control. The PRO Ultimate is powerful yet balanced with precise control, stability, and superb reset capabilities.

Crafted in collaboration with elite pickleball athletes, the Gearbox PRO Ultimate represents the highest level of paddle innovation. Engineered for those who demand excellence, the Ultimate integrates advanced patented and patent-pending technologies, including Gearbox’s renowned SSTCoreTM and Power Matrix technology, working together to provide unparalleled power and precision. Elevate your game with the PRO Ultimate, the paddle of champions.

he heart of the Pro Series is Gearbox’s acclaimed Patent (No.US 10,377,093) Solid Span Technology (SST). SSTCoreTM is composed of multiple carbon fiber ribs that run parallel to one another and along the length of the paddle face to create the most advanced core in pickleball. This one-of-a-kind core creates a sophisticated and efficient energy-transfer system that is engineered to effectively capture and amplify energy for an explosive and responsive performance. With SSTCoreTM, players experience unparalleled power, control, precision and durability, making each shot a dynamic display of Gearbox’s commitment to innovation.

Energy In—Performance Out.

Redefined Power Matrix

Explosive Power | On Demand

The patent-pending Power Matrix enhances SSTCore’s energy transfer, boosting power efficiency from the core to the face to deliver unmatched explosive power on demand. It maximizes energy output between the core, paddle frame, and handle, enabling significant dwell time and efficient control of energy from the core to the paddle face. This construction optimizes power, enhances controlled play, and provides stability. The Power Matrix stores and releases more energy upon ball impact, resulting in greater force and accuracy, significantly improving the paddle’s overall performance for a powerful, precise, and responsive playing experience.

Power

Maximum resiliency, returning all-out energy to the ball.

Control

Deeper ball travel along the entire face and frame, enhances accuracy and precision.

Feel
