Product Description
The CRBN 3 TruFoam Genesis Hybrid 14 mm paddle is a breakthrough in paddle engineering. It uses CRBN’s Gen‑4 TruFoam core—100% foam, no honeycomb, no ribs—designed for unmatched consistency, durability, and feel from the very first swing. The face is T700 raw carbon fiber, enhanced with fiberglass, giving you excellent spin, pop, and a response that feels firm yet forgiving.
Whether you're pressing at the net, shaping shots from baseline, or mixing drop shots with power drives, the Genesis combines reach, touch, and stability in a way few paddles can match.

How It Compares: Why the Genesis Hybrid Is Better
Here’s how the Genesis stacks up vs. typical competitor paddles, and what makes it stand out:
Feature | Genesis Hybrid 14 mm | Typical Competitor Paddles | Why Genesis Gains an Edge |
---|---|---|---|
Core Technology | TruFoam 100% foam core, no honeycomb or ribs. (Tennis & Pickleball Cabana) | Many use honeycomb polypropylene or composite/hybrid cores with foam injected or supported. These often suffer from “core crush” or inconsistent feel over time. | Foam core gives more reliable consistency, reduces weak points, and removes long break‑in periods. |
Spin & Surface Grip | T700 raw carbon + fiberglass layup; textured enough to grip the ball well for spin, but still stable. (The Rally Shop) | Some paddles use softer fiberglass or less aggressive-faced carbon, which may lose spin or “grit” quicker. | Genesis keeps spin potential strong over time; gives better control when shaping shots. |
Balance of Power vs Touch | 14 mm thickness with firm foam core yields a combo: decent pop, good control, better feedback on softer shots. Handles fast exchanges and aggressive drives without feeling overly stiff. (speakpickleball.com) | Power‑only paddles are often very heavy or thick and lose subtle touch; control paddles may lack punch. | If you want a paddle that works all over the court — net play, baseline, soft game — the Genesis Hybrid meets that need. |
Durability & Long‑Term Consistency | No honeycomb means fewer risks of core collapse; surface layers with fiberglass help maintain integrity. Users report less degradation in spin, less dead spots. (Pickleball Nation) | Paddles with honeycomb cores or weak cores often degrade with usage: losing pop, having weaker edges, core collapse, inconsistency. | You get more lifespan and reliability — less “regretting the purchase” over time. |
Reach & Shape | Elongated hybrid shape gives both reach and handle balance (easier transitioning, better leverage) while maintaining width for sweet spot. | Standard or purely narrow elongated paddles may compromise either width or handle length; hybrid shapes sometimes sacrifice reach or comfort. | The Genesis allows stretched shots without losing stability, helps maintain control in varied play. |
