CRBN 2 TruFoam Genesis Pickleball Paddle

As CRBN’s first standard-shaped “Gen-4” paddle, the TruFoam Genesis 2 Pickleball Paddle—alongside the Genesis 1 and Genesis 3—ushers the sport into a new era with the debut of the TruFoam core. This innovative core eliminates the lengthy break-in period and the familiar collapse of traditional polypropylene honeycomb cores, replacing them with a durable, high-density foam. The result is a design that’s easy to fine-tune for optimal performance, allowing engineers to dial in balance, pop, plow-through, sweet spot size, and softness without altering core thickness.

Built with this next-gen core, the 16" CRBN TF Genesis 2 offers the classic, standard paddle silhouette and more power than the X-Series—yet its purpose is to elevate every facet of play, not merely increase force. Its well-rounded performance comes from the synergy between the TruFoam core and the 7.85" T700 Raw Carbon hitting surface. The surface remains rigid and naturally textured, but now works in harmony with the new core to deliver a tennis-racquet-like response, creating added dwell time and spin for exceptionally crisp, controlled shots. The 5.25" handle completes the elevated design, placing your hand closer to the sweet spot for quicker resets and confident reloads.

Grip sizes may vary by up to 1/8".
