Summary

The Gearbox CX11E Power 8.5oz is an elongated paddle with an 11mm carbon fiber core and a carbon fiber face. Carbon fiber is known for its responsiveness and potential for power. The paddle weighs 8.5oz and has a 5.5-inch grip. Its swing weight is 111, considered relatively low, which may make it easier to maneuver. The twist weight is 4.96, suggesting good stability on off-center hits. The elongated shape could offer a larger sweet spot and increased reach. This paddle might be suitable for players seeking a blend of power and control, particularly those who prefer a lighter paddle. The carbon fiber construction may provide a firm feel and quick response, potentially benefiting aggressive play. However, the thinner core might transmit more vibration to the player's arm. The spin rating is 4.0 out of 10, placing it in the 17th percentile of tested paddles. The low twist weight percentile (1.3%) indicates exceptional resistance to twisting compared to other paddles.
