Great Paddle

I’ve used this paddle for the last year and recently bought the same paddle again instead of going for something newer. This one is just tough to beat. Great power, great touch, you can really hit your spots. Great for singles play.

It's not easy for me to adapt to a paddle, but this one is different. I'm still getting used to it so I think my game will progress with it. I like the control and power.

Gearbox GX5 Power is a great paddle. I really noticed a difference in my ground strokes when I switched to the GearBox GX5. The other thing that I noticed is my tennis elbow really seemed to improve once I switched to this paddle.

Loved the thinner core and rimless frame. I might move to the GX6 once I get a little more consistent but for now I need the biggest sweet spot I can get.

Caveat: Check your grip size

I received the paddle delivered as promised. It's perfect except the grip was too small. I have large hands and did not think about the handle size when I ordered it. My bad. That's not the fault of Pickleball Galaxy. I put a grip overwrap on the handle (easy peazy) and all is good. I really notice a positive difference playing with this paddle. Glad I bought it and well worth the price.
