Allow us to introduce the GB1, Gearbox’s new USAP approved pickleball ball, created for pickleball lovers worldwide and those who enjoy both recreational and sanctioned play.

In our relentless pursuit of excellence, Gearbox embarked on a mission to develop an advanced proprietary polymer formulation for the GB1 in order to engineer a ball that not only performs at its best, but that will sustain peak performance over time.

Our approach was scientific and our goal was to create a ball that is durable, warp resistant, offers consistent bounce and high visibility for both day and night play.  In addition, Gearbox engineers are acutely aware that pickleball is played across a diverse range of climates. The interplay between climate and performance is undeniable; factors like temperature can influence bounce, shape, feel, and overall durability. The GB1 is optimized to maintain great performance under a wider range of weather conditions.

While other balls fall short in performance and durability, the GB1 emerges as the ultimate pickleball ball.

• Purpose: Adding lead weights to pickleball paddles can customize the paddle’s weight and balance, allowing players to enhance control, power, and stability.
• Application: Lead tape is typically applied to the edge of the paddle, where players can adjust the placement to achieve their desired balance and weight distribution.
• Benefits:
  • Increased Power: Adding weight to the paddle increases the force behind each shot, leading to more powerful hits.
  • Enhanced Control: Adjusting the paddle’s weight distribution can improve handling and precision, particularly in volleys and soft shots.
  • Stability: Extra weight helps reduce vibrations and provides a more stable feel during play.
• Customization: Players can experiment with different amounts and placements of lead tape to find the configuration that best suits their playing style.
• Considerations:
  • Weight Limits: Be mindful of the overall weight increase to avoid exceeding personal comfort and the sport’s regulations.
  • Safety: Ensure the lead tape is securely attached to prevent it from coming loose during play.
