CRBN1 TruFoam Barrage 14mm Pickleball Paddle
Play bigger at the kitchen and finish points higher in the contact zone with the CRBN1 TruFoam Barrage Pickleball Paddle. This potent power paddle pairs a 16.5" elongated frame with a 5.75" handle, giving two-handed players more leverage and aggressive players more reach and swing speed to end points with emphasis.
Its Gen 4 TruFoam Floating Core is a 100% foam construction reinforced with perimeter carbon for added rigidity. The result is pop-based power with a crisp, stable response. Compared to the other Barrage shapes, this model leans hardest into offense. The 118-swing weight and lower 5.89 twist weight favor speed through contact and decisive finishing over maximum forgiveness.
