Gearbox PRO Ultimate Hyper Paddle

Gearbox's best paddle to date

The widebody format really highlights Gearbox's SST Core. While the Pro Power Elongated and Pro Ultimate Power were able to generate top-tier levels of power when played out of the box (and then another extra 6% after breaking in), they suffered greatly from poor stability, low maneuverability, and a tight sweet spot. The Pro Ultimate Hyper fixes all of those problems while retaining the essence of a Gearbox power paddle. It has top-tier power out of the box and will gain about 2% more power after breaking in. The pop is moderately high (at around the 80th percentile), but it's manageable. That, combined with the plush feel of the SST core, allows for excellent control. The widebody format makes this paddle both maneuverable and stable, and the enhanced sweet spot size makes it easy to use. Be aware that you'll be spending around 20-30 hours breaking it in, but it's more than worth it.
