A measured 3.13 ms of dwell — the longest in the line — gives you more time on the face to shape a shot, place it, or take pace off it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnderneath sits an entirely new core. The patent-pending Pressure X Core pairs Gearbox's SST 2.0 carbon fibre rib structure with a micro-cell EPP foam SSTCore, bonded carbon-to-carbon with carbon face ties. There is no honeycomb and no adhesive layer between dissimilar materials — the whole paddle behaves as one piece, which is what keeps the response consistent as the paddle ages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e8E or 8M?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSame shape, same weight, same face.
