Description
Introducing the all-new CX14 Ultimate Power Collection with new Power Band Technology, the most advanced paddle yet created by Gearbox. The Gearbox CX14E Ultimate Power Pickleball Paddle (Green) (8.5 oz.) is inspired by the original CX14 but re-engineered with fearless creativity and ingenuity, this collection is designed to push the limits of paddle technology. Power Band Technology detaches and suspends the patented SST core rib structure from the perimeter of the paddle, creating a trampoline effect on the paddle face. The slight slope visible around the paddle's edge is your Power Band, giving you effortless Power with a solid, plush feel. With its improved sweet spot offering more consistency and improved touch, to its upgraded Edgeless Frame now with more reinforcement, stability, and power, the CX14 Ultimate Power collection is the pro-choice of Joey Farias and Frank Anthony Davis.

SSTCore™ Technology
At the heart of the Pro Series is Gearbox's patented Solid Span Technology (SST) (No. US 10,377,093), featuring multiple carbon fiber ribs running parallel along the paddle face to form the advanced SSTCore™. This unique core enhances energy transfer for explosive performance, giving players unmatched power, control, precision, and durability in every shot.
3K Woven Carbon Fiber
Crafted with 3K woven carbon fibre on both the face and perimeter of the paddle, unlocking a premium feel and sound, a larger sweet spot, greater spin, added torsion control, and more durability. This new material also helps to reduce vibration back to the hand and gives the paddle face more consistency from the centre of the face to the edge.
Power Band Technology
Pushing the limits of creativity and ingenuity, Gearbox has engineered Power Band Technology. With the Power Band, the paddle's patented SSTcore is detached and suspended from the perimeter of the paddle, giving the paddle surface a trampoline effect. The band around the edge is a flex zone, allowing for movement and spring off the paddle face. The Power Band gives this paddle a solid, controlled feel with tremendous effortless Power.
Hyper-Bite 2.0 Spin Technology
This technology creates spin starting from the paddles inner patented ribbed SSTcore to the paddle face. Hyperbite 2.0 describes a system where various components come together which include the patented ribbed 2.0 SSTcore, the 3K woven carbon fibre outer face ply, a top urethane face coat and now a top textured face coat- all to give maximum bite and grip on the ball for incredible 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.
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.
