GX6 7.8 Control Series

The Gearbox GX6 7.8 Control Series is an elongated paddle with an 11mm carbon fiber core and a carbon fiber face. Its elongated shape may offer a larger sweet spot and increased reach. Weighing 7.8 oz, it falls into a midweight category. The 5.625-inch grip length may be suitable for players who prefer a longer grip or utilize a two-handed backhand. The carbon fiber construction could provide a blend of power and control. With a spin rating of 2.1/10 and falling in the 8th percentile for spin, this paddle may be better suited for players prioritizing control and placement over generating high levels of spin. The midweight design may offer a balance of maneuverability and power, though it could be less maneuverable than lighter paddles and generate less power than heavier options.
