CRBN TruFoam™ Barrage — Relentless by Design
The CRBN TruFoam Barrage is built for players who want power that shows up instantly. At its core is a 100% Gen-4 TruFoam floating foam core — engineered specifically for explosive energy return, a crisp pop on counters and overheads, and fast, decisive ball speed. A dense carbon-reinforced perimeter and EPP stability ring expand the sweet spot and keep off-center hits solid and controlled.
Unlike older honeycomb cores, TruFoam eliminates core crush and break-in entirely. No honeycomb. No compromises. Just consistent, relentless performance from your first rally to your last — game after game.
The T700 raw carbon fiber face maximizes spin and dwell, while the 14mm core thickness is precision-engineered so you never have to choose between power and control again.

CRBN¹ — Elongated, Long Handle The most offensive Barrage. A 16.5" frame with a 5.75" handle gives two-handed backhand players extra leverage and reach to finish points with authority. The highest swing weight (118) in the lineup rewards aggressive, full swings and decisive counters. Best for: offensive baseliners, two-handed backhand players, players who want maximum reach and finishing power.
CRBN² — Square The widest face in the series creates the largest sweet spot and the most forgiving feel. The shorter handle keeps you tight and reactive at the kitchen. A true all-court paddle — pop when you need it, control when you don't. Best for: all-court players, dink-first strategy, players who prioritize forgiveness and kitchen dominance.
CRBN³ — Elongated, Short Handle All the reach of the elongated frame, none of the handle bulk. The CRBN³ pairs a 16.5" face with a shorter 5.25" grip — the best-of-both-worlds shape for players who want baseline reach and net-play maneuverability in a single paddle. Best for: versatile competitors, one-handed backhand players who also need speed at the kitchen.
CRBN⁴ — Hybrid, AeroCurve The fan favorite. CRBN's AeroCurve frame geometry moves faster through the air and delivers a larger effective hitting surface. The lowest swing weight in the lineup makes it the quickest-feeling Barrage — exceptional for hands battles, fast counters, and wide reaches. Best for: speed and hands players, kitchen counter-attackers, players who win with fast reactions.
