    Gear Box CX14 paddle: I've tried a few paddles from Pickleball Central. This one I'm not returning. I really like the weight and control I have with the CX14.

    This is hands down the best paddle Gearbox has ever made. It's also one of the top-performing paddles we've tested this year. Like many Gearbox paddles, it has exceptional control—especially on technical shots like drops, dinks, and resets. Unlike past Gearbox offerings, this one feels natural to me right out of the box. Most importantly, it has enough power to play a more complete, aggressive, and modern game. It's not cheap, but if you're an intermediate to advanced player who's ready to in...

    A great paddle: I wasn’t happy with my game using a Paddletek Tempest Wave Pro. So I decided to try a very different paddle. Wow! The CX14E changed my game the moment I started using it. I absolutely love my game with this paddle! I have such better control, spin and power. I also dink a lot better with this paddle. It’s balanced and great all around and my level of play has increased since using the CX14E

    CX14 ultimate power: I loved this paddle but I needed more control than power. If I was a man I would definitely want the Ultimate. Or a stronger woman than me, haha there ARE those! So I got the CX-14E for longer length and control, it's a lighter paddle and I can react faster at those close fast shots. Highly recommend both!!

    Best paddle: This paddle literally has it all. I had the Selkirk power air and that paddle was great and had lots of power, if you could hit the sweet spot. It just had a very small sweet spot. The gearbox has a very generous and forgiving sweet spot. This paddle plays amazing. It feels a bit soft but you have all the power in the world with it too. It doesn’t feel as soft as the BJ Hyperion. The cx14 ultimate power lives up to its name. Don’t doubt this paddle just because you don’t see pr
