The Gearbox GBX Power Hybrid has a 16.2 x 7.8 in hybrid shape, a 16 mm Gen-3 suspended PPE honeycomb core, a raw unidirectional carbon face and a 5.5 in handle, for balanced power, more forgiveness and stable full-court control. The wider base enlarges the sweet spot. It weighs 8.0 oz on average, and the construction is a single piece, aimed at fast exchanges, resets and counterattacks.

How the RR Score was calculated

CriterionWeightScore
Specs65%66
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.
