The Gearbox CX11Q Quad Control Pickleball Paddle is optimized for control and maneuverability! Enjoy the broad 8" width that offers a large sweet spot and reliable defense against aggressive players. Gearbox's patented Solid Span Technology (SST) with T-700 graphite chambers, found in the paddle core, keeps energy at bay and limits wear over time for consistent play. With a gentle feel and quiet sound, the CX11Q is perfect for achieving more accurate dinks! The gripped handle (3-5/8" or 3-15/16" circumference) and 15-7/8" length provide ample power and reach. Choose between 7.8 oz. purple or 8.5 oz. yellow weight. Gearbox paddles are excluded from our 30 day Paddle Test Drive.
