Summary
The Gearbox Pro Control Elongated is an elongated paddle with a 14mm carbon fiber core and a carbon fiber face. Carbon fiber is known for its responsiveness and potential for power. The paddle weighs 8 ounces and has a 5.5-inch grip. Its swing weight is 122, categorized as high, and may require more effort to swing but could generate more power. The elongated shape may offer a larger sweet spot and increased reach. This paddle might be suitable for intermediate to advanced players seeking a blend of power and control. The carbon fiber construction and high swing weight could provide powerful drives, while the elongated shape may enhance reach and control. However, the higher swing weight might be less maneuverable for some. Its low twist weight rating of 1.7 may result in less stability on off-center hits. The spin rating is 7.6 out of 10, placing it in the 68th percentile for spin generation among tested paddles. The drive speed rating is 6.7, and the volley speed rating is 4.9.
