What Is an Edgeless Design<\/h2>\n

Conventional paddles have an edge guard (protective bumper) fitted around the frame perimeter, but Gearbox eliminates it. With the unibody structure, the face extends to the paddle edge. It has the advantage that shots that would normally be a mistake by hitting the edge can be hit cleanly with an edgeless paddle.<\/p>\n

Hyper Bite Spin Technology<\/h2>\n

Thanks to proprietary texture treatment applied to the face surface, it achieves high spin performance. Gearbox's grip technology cultivated in racquetball is also applied to its pickleball paddles.<\/p>\n
