Honeycomb, the Gearbox Way
The GBX Power introduces a next evolution of Gen-3 honeycomb performance—re-engineered by Gearbox to deliver powerful response, consistent control, and long-term durability. Built around our proprietary suspended PPE honeycomb core and integrated unibody construction, GBX Power preserves the explosive pop players expect from Gen-3 paddles while advancing feel, stability, and precision across the entire paddle face. This is not a conventional honeycomb build. Every layer—from handle to face—is engineered to work together as one system, delivering confident power, controlled rebound, and dependable performance from every position on the court.
Unibody Construction
Built as One. Tuned to Perform.
The GBX Power is constructed as a true unibody system, molding the handle, perimeter frame, and face plies into a single continuous structure. This integrated design allows energy to transfer smoothly from the grip, through the frame, and into the paddle face without loss or distortion. By anchoring the face to the outermost edge of the frame, the paddle face is free to flex more evenly at impact—expanding the effective sweet spot and delivering consistent performance across the entire hitting surface. This isn’t random flex. It’s controlled, repeatable, and precisely engineered.
Raw Unidirectional Carbon Fiber Face
Maximum Spin. Confident Control.
The GBX Power features a raw unidirectional carbon fiber face designed to maximize dwell time and spin generation without sacrificing responsiveness. The textured surface grips the ball on contact, allowing players to shape aggressive topspin drives, controlled drops, and sharp angles with confidence. Paired with the suspended honeycomb core, the face delivers:
- Longer ball engagement
- Enhanced spin potential
- Clean, connected feel at contact
Suspended Gen-3 Honeycomb Core
Power You Can Feel. Control You Can Trust.
At the heart of the GBX Power is Gearbox’s suspended Gen-3 PPE honeycomb core—precision tuned to balance energy return with controlled ball engagement. Unlike traditional pressed honeycomb paddles, the suspended core is isolated from excessive heat and pressure during manufacturing, allowing it to retain structural integrity and consistent rebound characteristics over time.
The result is a paddle that delivers:
- Explosive power on drives and put-aways
- Predictable response on resets and counters
- Reduced vibration for cleaner feedback Power isn’t just added—it’s managed.
