GBS-001
Widebody11mmGen-1Cold Pressed
The Gentle Booms Sports GBS-001 is a 11 mm widebody pickleball paddle with a cold pressed, Aluminum face. It generates low spin (2th percentile) with low power and pop. It has a mid-range swing weight that balances power and maneuverability, plus well above-average twist weight for strong off-center forgiveness. Overall it's a control-oriented profile that trades raw power for touch and placement.
