The Gearbox Pro Ultimate Hyper paddle is the first 16mm, wide body addition to the PRO series. Created with breakthrough engineering and cutting-edge technology for a versatile performance. This widebody paddle effortlessly combines the maneuverability, stability and power that every player craves. What sets this shape apart is its unique design refinements, including a longer handle paired with a shorter, Quad-shaped face. This configuration allows for extended reach with quick maneuverability, much like an 11mm paddle, but with the stability and feel expected from a thicker core paddle. The longer handle accommodates two-handed shots with ease, while the paddle’s increased twist weight and larger effective hitting area delivers consistent, accurate, and forgiving shots. With its enhanced dwell time, reset control, and a dynamic playstyle, the Ultimate Hyper 16mm is designed for players seeking an innovative, fast, and maneuverable paddle for competitive play.

Rooted in the advancements of the Pro Ultimate line, its refined design incorporates the Patented SST Core and Patent-Pending Powerband technology, ensuring optimal energy transfer, superior responsiveness, and enhanced power. The 16mm frame offers a softer touch, improved stability, and a larger sweet spot, making it ideal for maintaining control in high-pressure situations.

Gearbox's best paddle to date

The widebody format really highlights Gearbox's SST Core. While the Pro Power Elongated and Pro Ultimate Power were able to generate top-tier levels of power when played out of the box (and then another extra 6% after breaking in), they suffered greatly from poor stability, low maneuverability, and a tight sweet spot.

The Pro Ultimate Hyper fixes all of those problems while retaining the essence of a Gearbox power paddle. It has top-tier power out of the box and will gain about 2% more power after breaking in. The pop is moderately high (at around the 80th percentile), but it's manageable. That, combined with the plush feel of the SST core, allows for excellent control. The widebody format makes this paddle both maneuverable and stable, and the enhanced sweet spot size makes it easy to use.

Be aware that you'll be spending around 20-30 hours breaking it in, but it's more than worth it.
