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.
Legacy Pickleball Pro XS 16
A full foam-wall unibody aimed squarely at the JOOLA and CRBN flagships. Twist weight 88 and plow-through 90 are flagship numbers; the 120 swing weight is the tax you pay for them.
