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 170T Blue Racquet is even more stable than the Beltran 170T thanks to its high dynamic inertia for maximum power and features a very similar strung weight and balance. Used by some of the best players in the world, this middle weight Gearbox racquet provides a great balance of power and control, plus the teardrop head shape ensures a high sweetspot.
