I’ve watched a lot of “unboxing” videos on YouTube over the years, primarily for camera/broadcast equipment, with the occasional new phone thrown into the mix.

I’m not at the point where I am ready to do a video on that myself, but I have done an unboxing photoshoot, which is embedded below.

When you are ready to get one (or two) of your own, you can buy them here:

Introducing the new GX1 Series by Gearbox, the ultimate powerhouse in racquetball, delivering an unmatched performance every time you step on the court.

The GX1 represents the pinnacle of innovation, showcasing Gearbox’s patented technologies working in perfect harmony to maximize power output, provide effortless control, and ensure exceptional durability. Gearbox’s patented Solid Frame Technology and Concave frame shape offer exceptional movement to the string bed to boost power and deliver an extra large, forgiving sweet spot. Featuring a redesigned throat lay-up, the GX1 enhances rotational stiffness, maximizes shock absorption, and offers a softer, more comfortable feel with improved strength throughout the frame for ultimate durability.

Crafted with a precise blend of premium carbon fiber materials, each type enhances the GX1’s superior performance. The 3K Woven carbon fiber provides a dampened feel, strength, and durability, while the T700 and M40 carbon fibers enhance the racquet’s impact resistance and frame stiffness
