Summary

The Gearbox CX11Q Control 8.5oz is a standard-shaped paddle with an 11mm carbon fiber core and a carbon fiber face. Carbon fiber is known for its responsiveness and potential for power. Weighing 8.5oz, it falls into the mid-weight category, balancing maneuverability and power. The paddle has a 4.75-inch grip. Its swing weight of 100 is considered low and may appeal to players seeking quicker paddle speed. The twist weight is 5.5. With a spin rating of 3.9 out of 10 and a twist weight rating of 3.0 out of 10, this paddle may be more suited for control-oriented players. The lower swing weight could benefit players who prioritize quick reactions and maneuverability at the net. The thinner core may contribute to increased power, while the carbon fiber surfaces could offer a balance of control and power. However, players seeking maximum spin or a high swing weight might find this paddle less suitable.
