Verdicts
Gearbox CX14E Ultimate Power
A more livable Gearbox. It keeps most of the drive velocity of the Pro Power while adding enough stability to survive hands battles.
JOOLA Hyperion CFS 16
An elongated drive machine. The extra reach and plow-through win baseline exchanges, but you pay for it every time you have to reset a fast hands battle.
