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.
Paddletek Bantam TKO-C 14
A 14 mm hands-battle paddle. Pop 92 and maneuverability 84 make it the fastest counter-punching option Paddletek builds, at the cost of a small margin for error.
