The Racquet That Started It All The GB250 marks the beginning of Gearbox racquet innovation. As our original flagship racquet and the first to feature Gearbox’s patented Solid Frame Technology (U.S. Patent No. 7,867,428 B2), it introduced a groundbreaking approach to racquet construction engineered around power, control, maneuverability, and durability. Built with a 100% graphite frame and weighing just 170 grams, the GB250 embodied the Gearbox philosophy from the very beginning: challenge conventional design through innovative engineering and create equipment that delivers a truly distinctive playing experience. Years after its introduction, the GB250 continues to be a player favorite—a testament to an original design and innovation that have stood the test of time. The original Gearbox flagship. A true classic that continues to perform.
