Gearbox was born from a simple but powerful vision: to create superior, technology-driven sporting equipment designed by athletes, for athletes - and to grow the game through a true grassroots approach.
Founded in California in 2007 by Rafael Filippini, a professional racquetball athlete with over 25 years of experience in the composites industry, Gearbox was built at the intersection of elite performance and advanced engineering. Rafael's firsthand understanding of the athlete's needs combined with deep technical expertise, lead to the development of revolutionary technologies that challenged traditional equipment design and set new standards for performance and durability.
Nearly two decades later, Gearbox remains synonymous with exceptional quality, unmatched durability, and patented, cutting-edge innovation. What began in racquetball has expanded into pickleball, paddleball, and squash - all driven by the same commitment to precision engineering and player-focused design.
At Gearbox, we believe players of all levels deserve access to equipment that enhances performance, builds confidence, and deepens their love for the game. For advanced racquets and paddles to performance apparel and premium accessories, every product we create is designed to push boundaries and elevate the playing experience.
Rooted in innovation and driven by athletes, the future of Gearbox - and the sports we serve - is limitless.
