Specifications from our product schedule. Final configuration and any missing fields are confirmed on the approved sample.
Matrix GearFoam Max has a 3D cube pattern on black, with a blue-to-pink gradient edge, and is also listed under the name GearFoam Max. It combines a Toray 3D 18K carbon face with our GearBridge EPP core in a 14 mm build. It is the top of our GearFoam range.
Matrix GearFoam Max is 14 mm thick, with a 3D 18K carbon fiber face (a raised weave texture) over GearBridge, the bridged version of our GearFoam EPP core. Listed weight is 225 ± 5 g. It is built on our semi-hot-press line, the same route as our other performance carbon and foam models.
It uses an elongated outline of 419 × 190.5 mm (16.50 × 7.50 in) with a 140 mm (5.51 in) handle and a 108 mm grip circumference. A handle of 140 mm leaves room for a two-handed backhand.
Read how cores compare in our paddle core guide, and see the mold and outline options on the specification checklist.
It ships in a book-style box with 12 lead tape strips for weight and balance tuning and two overgrips.
We print your artwork on the 3D 18K carbon face and can change the edge guard, grip and packaging. The core, the 14 mm thickness and the FC006 mold stay as listed unless you approve a structural revision on a new sample. For a full brand programme, see private label paddles and custom paddle development.
Record the approved values in your order, following our sampling and approval steps.
It is listed as both Matrix and GearFoam Max. Use either name in your enquiry; both refer to the same 3D 18K GearBridge build.
Same 14 mm GearBridge core and FC006 outline. Matrix has a Toray 3D 18K face; Bloom has a textured T700 face.
Yes, on the listed dimensions, but with no margin. USA Pickleball allows a maximum length of 17 in and a combined length and width of 24 in, including the edge guard and butt cap. The FC006 outline is 16.50 in long and 7.50 in wide, exactly 24.00 in combined, so we measure every sample and production check against that limit. Size is only one rule; approval for sanctioned play is a separate listing, explained on our paddle certification page.
It is the price per paddle in USD, EXW our factory in Dongguan, for orders of at least 50 paddles per design, with the listed accessories and standard box. Freight, FOB delivery and any changes to the build or packaging are quoted separately. Prices marked as estimates are based on a related build and are confirmed in your quotation.
