Fat fingers 24 volt and wind is trigger not ground

That’s a good question… 🤔

My advice would be to order the demos and give them a try. I actually ordered the demos this morning because I feel Pickleball Central sent me a paddle that might have been a dud or damaged further. The paddle had no gearbox wrapping or packaging, and as I see more unboxing videos with packaging of the face of the paddle etc, it makes me wonder. I ordered the pro demos in both power and control, I’m a big Gearbox advocate and I know they need to play better than the one I had.

@@mw3designs Thank you. Yeah, I think whoever is working in the packaging dept at PB Central isn't paying attention to quality control etc. I purchased a used Paddletek Pro paddle which was supposed to be thin grip; it came as the standard grip. After sending pictures and being on the phone with them I received the correct paddle.

I used the stock air assist when I first got the laser, and I did not like it. Wasn’t powerful enough for cutting in my opinion. I had a smaller laser that was connected to my air compressor with a ball valve, I manually turned the air on when needed. At first I just hooked up my OmTech that way, but quickly decided to use the options on the software and the control board to make the air assist work as it should with my larger air compressor. My on board air assist is still in the unit, but I put it on a switch and leave it turned off.

@@mw3designs Thank you for getting back to me on this. My stock air on my 60 w Chinese laser died and I want to upgrade to a compressor for air assist but am a bit intimidated by the electronics of it all. My plan was to hook it up and manually turn it on and off with a set PSI for now.... With the plan of tying it in to the machine for control later. Thanks again!

On my smaller laser the air assist was manual like I stated and I used it that way for years. I put an air line with regulator right next to the laser with a 1/4” ball valve right next to the laser, I would turn on the air and send the job. You should have no problems doing it that way, and it’s all user preference, not everyone does it the same.

When it arrived I was totally impressed, after playing a couple weeks I was not impressed. Went back to my old Gearbox CX11. I’m a big fan of my gearbox paddles, GX6, CX11, CX14 but this one just didn’t feel like right. Possible I got a dud, and I go back and fourth about trying it again, but this time the power version.

@@mw3designs Which CX14 do you have…the H or the elongated? I just got the Pro Power Fusion and it definitely helps my power. I was thinking about adding the control version to use when playing against bangers. I have a hard time at the kitchen with my elongated CX14.

I also heard these Pro paddles need about 30 hours break in. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I would assume there is going to be some type of low power draw that the receiver uses as it’s searching for input from the remote. This is the reason I installed a the trip style fuse with on off switch. I leave it off until I get to where I’m dumping. I also don’t know if there are any devices (frequencies l) that might trigger the receiver to lift the dump while I’m driving…. I don’t have must trust in these cheap Amazon devices, but it has worked flawless time after time. People still look at me with that confused look as I’m backing in and the dump is already going up. In and out quick, especially if it’s an extra smelly day at the city dump.

I just played it on the UA-cam app and there is no volume difference as you have stated.

I haven’t used E6000 to fix delamination but from what I’ve read it dries like a very strong rubber glue. It should work, but it’s also very cheap to go to the store and get 2 part epoxy, they sell them at Walmart and hardware stores and also Home Depot and Lowe’s. But if you can only get the E6000, clean up the hole and put some in, then clamp just like this guy shows with tape. You can also put heavy things on top of the board area instead of clamping if you don’t have clamps, like the leg of a piece of furniture. You definitely want to do something to seal the hole and repair it because it’s not a serious issue until water gets inside the top sheet and begins to damage the internal parts of the board and the wood.

This purchase was my first from Pickleball Central (and my last),didn’t know this but they are known to ship paddles in envelopes. All my other Gearbox were purchased direct from Gearbox, and arrive packaged in a box. I’m pretty sure paddles don’t like to be fed through machine sorting….

I hear you, both my Six Zero and Legacy paddles were shipped from the US to Canada so customs conveyer belts as well….🤦🏻

Yeah, mine had two tiny divots on the face, and when I sent the pictures of it to Six Zero, she said it was the postal services fault.

Thanks for sharing that info. With the price of Kerosene where I am at $6.59 a gallon I’m ready to switch over to Diesel. I have a few of these heaters, and going to convert one to Diesel for comparison. I did hear the Winter Diesel mix here is a thinner version.

@@mw3designs I run just good old pump diesel (no. 2) which I just thin with a little alcohol in the colder months. Mine burns clean no fumes on diesel. I never liked the smell of kerosene anyway.

After seeing other videos of the new paddles I realized something wasn’t right with Pickleball Central. Not only did my paddle arrive in an envelope damaged, it also did not have the packaging, no gearbox “wrapper” or “marketing cover” over the paddle. They told me no worries they would send a replacement when it was back in stock, well they did, but then cancelled the order an hour later saying they didn’t have inventory. Long story short, I returned the paddle, it was damaged, I was not impressed with the paddles performance, and I am now fighting with Pickleball Central for the money back. They said 10-15 days to process the return payment after they receive the paddle, well paddles been in their hands for days already. I now wonder if the paddles lack of performance was from it being damaged more than it looked, maybe the core was damaged and you could not see it. I was waiting on that replacement paddle so I could compare, but they never held up their end of the bargain. They are definitely giving Gearbox a bad name at this point, because I was loyal to Gearbox, but this experience has me looking at other manufacturers now.

I started out with a eBay Chinese K40, it was the most basic machine and had no air assist. I used this machine for quite some time until I added an air assist. I would have to clean the lens once in a while, but it didn’t fail. There are some jobs I still do today that I can not use any air assist with because it will adversely effect the engraving on that specific material.

The diode would eliminate any electrical back-feed to the controller.

​@@mw3designs then just use 24 v supplay from power supplay directly not from controler ..

I feel the same way about this paddle. Maybe something changed from the prototype to production model. I think they should pull some random paddles off the shelf and compare them.

@@mw3designs THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SAYING THAT! I thought I was crazy but this paddle is absolute crap! I feel like all these reviews were just lies!

The paddle is junk. Same issue. Lucky I got mine from pickleball galaxy. No hassle 30 day returns

@user-wh1cv5vh5n - You should weigh your paddle. Gearbox specs the Pro Power Elongated at 8.0oz with NO VARIANCE in weight. I got one of the powerless duds - it weighed 7.6oz. It went back in the same Pickleball Central envelope it was shipped in. BTW- Pickleball Central customer service has been great so far on this and has been excellent in the past. I would be shocked if @GearboxPickleball posts anything here regarding an obvious QC issue with what appears to be a substantial number of the initial Pro series production run.

Unfortunately I already returned it to pickleball galaxy and got my refund. I know 2 other people who also got duds. Glad to hear pickleball Central is giving people refunds on these due to problems. Ive told numerous people not to buy one from Gearbox themselves as they dont allow returns. @@brian6strings

I don’t want to bad mouth Gearbox as I am happy with pretty much all of my paddles so far, but I am feeling somewhat the same way as you. Mine is the control elongated, my previous control paddle has way more control, so much spin sometimes people feel the surface of my paddle, and power as well! I played with the Pro for a week and it just feels dead, at first I thought it was the quieter sound they detail in their description, it wasn’t. I have since gone back to my CX11e which does not disappoint.

@gearboxPickleball has a serious quality control problem going on. Someone is going to be doing a video here soon highlighting these issues. @@mw3designs

I have never even received a used paddle from a private seller in an envelope, nor do I ship my paddles out that way either. Good news is, I’ve been playing with it all week, and it’s holding up well. Pickleball Central is going to replace it once it is back in stock, and their customer service was very helpful.

I own multiple Gearbox paddles, and this was the first time I actually read that sticker. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I did notice a couple of small imperfections in the face.

Just saw that mine will be here the 17th, I'm excited 😊 👍👍

I’m surprised that it’s not standard practice to ship paddles in a box.
