The Gearbox Pro Power Elongated is an elongated paddle with a 14mm carbon fiber core and a carbon fiber face. Carbon fiber is known for its potential to generate power. The paddle weighs 8 oz and has a 5.5-inch grip. Its elongated shape may offer a larger sweet spot and increased reach. With a swing weight of 120, it falls into the high swing weight category, potentially providing more power but requiring more effort to swing. The drive speed rating is 8.8/10, volley speed rating is 7.0/10, and spin rating is 7.8/10, placing it in the higher percentiles for power (98th) and pop (74th). The twist weight rating is 2.1/10 (2nd percentile), suggesting potential susceptibility to twisting on off-center hits. This paddle might be best suited for advanced players seeking a power-oriented paddle. The combination of materials and shape could provide significant power, while the high swing weight may require more strength and control. The low twist weight could be a limitation for players seeking maximum stability.
