New for the 2016-2017 season, the Gearbox GBX1 Racquets begin the next chapter in the evolution of the Gearbox racquet line. Continuing with the new C³ Power Groove frame design introduced in last season's Beltran racquet line, three concave shapes in the structure of the racquet strengthens the frame and maximizes the size of the sweetspot. The GBX1 185Q Red Racquet is even more stable than the Beltran 185Q thanks to its very high dynamic inertia for maximum power and features a similar strung weight and balance. This heavyweight Gearbox racquet is ideal for players with a slow to medium swing speed and the huge quadraform sweetspot helps to prevent miss-hits.
