Summary

The Gearbox Pro Power Integra (Fusion) is an 8-ounce paddle with a 14mm carbon fiber core and a carbon fiber face. Its hybrid shape combines elements of standard and elongated paddles. The 5.5-inch grip accommodates most players. With a swing weight of 112, it falls into the medium range, potentially offering a balance of maneuverability and power. The paddle's twist weight is relatively low (5.02).

This paddle may be suitable for intermediate to advanced players seeking a blend of power and control. The carbon fiber construction could provide a stiffer feel and contribute to powerful drives, as suggested by the high drive speed rating (8.5/10) and power percentile (96th). The spin rating (7.5/10) and pop percentile (82nd) indicate decent spin potential and volleying ability.

While the carbon fiber construction may enhance power, it could also result in a less forgiving sweet spot. The lower twist weight might make the paddle slightly less stable on off-center hits. Players prioritizing touch and control over power might find other paddles more suitable.
