CX14 Ultimate Power

The Gearbox CX14 Ultimate Power is an elongated paddle with a 14mm carbon fiber core and a carbon fiber face. Its listed specifications suggest it is designed for power. The 8.5-ounce weight is on the heavier side, which can contribute to powerful shots, but may reduce maneuverability for some. The 119 swing weight (considered high) further emphasizes power, but requires more effort to swing. The 5.625-inch grip length may be suitable for two-handed backhands. The carbon fiber construction throughout *may* provide a stiff feel and contribute to power and control. The elongated shape *could* offer a larger sweet spot. The relatively low twist weight rating of 2.0 (out of 10) and low twist weight percentile of 2.5 suggests the paddle may be more susceptible to twisting on off-center hits. This paddle *might* be best suited for advanced players seeking a power-oriented paddle. Players prioritizing touch and maneuverability *may* find this paddle less suitable.
