If you’re looking for Gearbox GBX Power review, this video breaks down exactly how the new Gearbox GBX Power pickleball paddle performs on court and why it made such a strong first impression. The GBX Power retails for $180 and enters a market filled with foam-core paddles, but this review explains why honeycomb paddles are far from obsolete.

After testing dozens of modern pickleball paddles over the last few years, including many of the newest foam technologies, this paddle immediately stood out. In this video, I cover the paddle’s re-engineered 16mm suspended/floating cold-bonded honeycomb core, the two available shapes, and how it compares in feel to paddles like the Pro 4 and Pro 5. If you want to know whether this paddle offers real power, pop, control, consistency, and long-term value, this review will help you decide.

One of the biggest takeaways from this test is how quickly the Gearbox GBX Power felt familiar and playable. Punches at the kitchen felt strong, the paddle delivered excellent pop and power, and it still stayed controllable during resets and routine exchanges. The review also covers an important drawback: the paddle face has a smoother surface than some competing models, which may matter to players who prioritize maximum texture and spin potential.

If you’ve been wondering whether a Gen 3 honeycomb pickleball paddle can still compete with the latest paddle technology, this video gives you a practical, player-focused answer. Watch through to the end for the full verdict on performance, consistency, innovation, and whether this paddle could be one of the better values in its category.
