The Gearbox CX14 Ultimate Power Elongated is Gearbox's most advanced paddle, with Power Band technology, which releases and suspends the SSTcore rib structure from the perimeter and creates a trampoline effect on the face. The shape is elongated, 16 5/8 in, with a 14 mm profile, a 3K braided carbon face, and a reinforced edgeless frame. It weighs 8.5 oz, and the handle is 5 5/8 in, with a circumference of 3 5/8 or 3 15/16 in.

How the RR Score was calculated

CriterionWeightScore
Specs65%69
Approval from players35%65

The RR Score is not yet a precise figure. It summarizes the data we have today (specs and reviews) and changes as more information comes in. A low score does not mean the racquet is bad and does not reflect its technical quality: often it is just missing data or reviews. The specs combine several sources and may have discrepancies: check the manufacturer's website and the store where you buy.
