There is a difference between a great pickleball paddle and a Game Changer. The GX6, is the Game Changer. Gearbox's vision was to pioneer technology unlike anything ever imagined in pickleball.
When you see, hear and hit a Gearbox GX6 paddle, you immediately know what you are experiencing is unlike anything before in pickleball.
After many years of extensive research, countless hours of testing and believing that the impossible is possible, Gearbox introduces the GX6, the game changer, constructed with Patented Solid Span Technology.
Looking for everything the GX6 has to offer but in a more traditional head shape and standard handle length? We have it, see the GX5 Collection. See the Comparison Below.

Very different than my old paddle but I'm getting used to it. I like the lighter weight. It's easier to hit a strong backhand. The delivery was on time and surprised me as I ordered it over the holidays.

Great doubles paddle

This paddle is great for quick exchanges at the net (very light and maneuverable), and great for 3rd shot drops into the kitchen from the baseline. I do not like it as well as some of my other paddles for drives from the baseline, and so it is not a paddle I will use for singles.

I had been holding off on investing in a better (and more expensive) paddle. The other honeycomb paddles didn't seem to justify the price for me. This paddle is a game changer for me. The increase in touch in my dinks and drives as well as the increase in spin upped my game. Love it!

I am a big fan of Gearbox having 4 racquetball Racquets and most recently the GX6 Pickleball paddle. The paddle is great, offering a good touch, power and an awesome spin control on the ball. I highly recommend this paddle.

This is my favorite paddle. I can generate way more spin than with my other paddles (Selkirk, Paddletek, and ProKennex). It's not even close. As a former tennis player, I find the length is just right.

Was very impressed with the Expedia upon my purchase. Was told by other that it would take me months to receive the item I wanted. As due to the onslaught of Pickleball purchases that this GX6 Blue Power paddle would be out of stock. Within 2 days I was playing with my purchase.

Thump
Andy Clark
10/20/2020
Verified Buyer
I bought the heavier version of the GX6 and am very pleased with the paddle. I love the 'thump' sound when hitting and also love the solid feel whether hitting dinks or placement shots. I compare the feeling to hitting with a wood baseball bat versus the aluminum bat feel which honeycomb core paddles provide.
Many Thanks!

I bought the GX6 yellow for light speed strokes and the GX6 blue for control spin shots. Both serve its purpose. I converted to Pickleball from Racquetball and continue to use Gearbox.

Bought the paddle purposely because it's not a heavy paddle. However, can still feel it's solid contact. Awesome!

GX6 7.8 power series paddle
Nev Pulotu

Verified Buyer
I use this paddle outdoor when it’s not windy outside. This paddle has great power and control. During a game I can block shots with ease due to its light weight quality. I’m looking into owning the control series in the future. These paddles by far for me the most versatile paddle in terms of power, control, reach, versatile, and comfortable to play with.

This is the first paddle I bought that I really love. It has great power as well as control. I used it in my first tournament and won Gold. I own both the GX6 8.5 and the 7.8 power series paddle and love them both.

I demoed a Gearbox GX6 2 weeks before nationals last year and changed over immediately! The touch and feel is incredible and made the 3rd shot a consistent weapon whether a drop or drive. It feels evenly weighted and it extremely durable. I have large hands and wasn’t sure about the thinner handle but it felt great in the hand. Just bought my second for no other reason than to have a backup because I couldn’t imagine playing with my old paddle again.
