The Gearbox CX14H Pickleball Paddle (Red) (8.0 oz.) introduces the CX14 Hyper shape which utilizes a thicker 14mm stability profile. The paddle is excellent for players coming to experience Gearbox’s Solid Span Technology (SST), from a lesser performing thick honeycomb core paddle.
The Gearbox CX14H Pickleball Paddle (Red) (8.0 oz.) has a longer handle and combined with a shorter, Quad shaped face. This combination of a longer lever with a smaller head, gives this paddle a unique playstyle, making it quick and maneuverable despite being 14mm. It offers the agility of an 11mm paddle with the stability and feel of a thick core paddle. The feel is surprisingly fast in your hands. The longer handle easily accommodates a two-handed shot. It is excellent for players who enjoy the feel of a thicker honeycomb core paddle but want the durability and performance of Gearbox’s #1 SST ribbed core technology.

SSTCore Technology
Gearbox patented Solid Span Technology (SST) features carbon span structures formed with a solid-state core material that acts as a gearbox for shots—a transfer mechanism that transitions the ball’s energy into various degrees of power, control and spin for any given shot. Energy in—performance out. Focused for control, amplified for power.
Carbon Fiber Edgeless Frame
The paddle’s entire edgeless perimeter has been reinforced with additional plies of 3K carbon fiber, with special attention to the two top corners, further improving the paddles overall strength, wear-resistance, and Gearbox’s market-leading durability.
Hyper-Bite Spin Technology
This technology creates spin starting from the SST ribbed core and building out to the paddle face. Our patented ribbed core allows for maximum bite on the ball throughout the swing, further increasing the spin velocity of the ball. In addition to the 3K woven carbon fiber, a urethane coat and advanced texture is applied to the paddle face to boost spin.
Enhanced Sweet Spot
To enhance the sweet spot and make it even larger, numerous 3K woven carbon fiber and Toray T-700 carbon fiber plies have been repositioned to provide a more forgiving and smarter sweet spot. This improvement helps capture more shots and provide the performance you need
