Gearbox Pro Power Fusion Sound Samples
I took the soon-to-be-released Pro Fusion paddle out to record sound samples compared to two other paddles using a standard aggressive topspin serve. One thermoformed, the Vatic Pro Alchemy 13.5mm. And one non-thermoformed, the Engage Pursuit Pro MX. You’ll notice a dampened sound with the Pro Fusion while the others have a higher pitch and […]
Engage Pursuit Pro MX 6.0 Impressions

Let’s start with that TLDR: The Spartus Ballista seemed to have an interesting new technology with build of the face and core; however, is a completely baffling design. As […]
Effortless spin with the Diadem Edge 18K
