CRBN ² TruFoam Genesis Pickleball Paddle

Delivery begins on March 10, 2025

The TruFoam Genesis 2 Pickleball Paddle and the other two paddles in the series (Genesis 1, Genesis 3) are CRBN's first standardized "Gen-4" paddle and take pickleball into the next generation with the introduction of the TruFoam core. This core replaces the time-consuming break-in period and annoying squishing of a polypropylene honeycomb core and instead relies on a durable, high-density foam core. This new technology is easily optimized from a performance standpoint, allowing the balance point, pop, plowable sweet spot and soft feel to be perfected without changing the thickness of the core.

With this new core technology, the 16" CRBN TF Genesis 2 Pickleball Paddle offers the standard shape we're used to and more power than the X-Series, but is designed to enhance all aspects of our game rather than just increase power. Not surprisingly, this balanced performance is made possible by the interplay of the TruFoam core with the 7.8" wide T700 Raw Carbon face. Sure, the face is as stiff and naturally textured as ever, but it now works with the new core to provide a tennis racquet-like response that increases dwell time and RPM for some of the crispest, most precise control shots we've ever hit. The 5" handle completes this anything-but-standard package by keeping our hand close to the sweet spot and ready to reload.
