CRBN 3 TruFoam Genesis Hybrid 14 mm Paddle

Brand: CRBN Pickleball
Level: Advanced / Tournament Ready
Certifications: USAP & UPA‑A approved

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.

Key Features

  • TruFoam Core (100% foam): Offers superb stiffness, resists core crush, minimizes break‑in time. 

  • T700 Raw Carbon Fiber + Fiberglass Surface: For enhanced spin, crisp response, and reliable durability. 

  • Thickness: 14 mm: Balanced to give both pop and control—not too deep, not too thin. 

  • Shape & Dimensions: Elongated‑hybrid shape (~16.5″ length × 7.5″ width), with a 5.25″ handle and 4.125″ grip circumference. 

  • Weight & Balance: Around 8.1 oz ±0.2 oz, balance point ~245 mm, swing weight high (~118‑120), giving strong stability and power on shots. 

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.

Who This Paddle Is Best For

You’ll love this paddle if you:

  • Want a high‑performance paddle that does a bit of everything: strong at the net, deadly drives, but also good touch on dinks.

  • Are frustrated with core crush or paddles that change feel fast.

  • Need spin and precision for strategy, not just brute power.

  • Prefer elongated or hybrid shapes for reach and versatility.

Final Take: The CRBN 3 TruFoam Genesis Hybrid 14 mm is a premium paddle that gives top‑tier players a competitive tool. It marries modern foam core engineering with high‑spin carbon face, excellent durability, and balanced performance across the board. If you want one paddle that demands respect on drives, excels at touch play, and stays reliable game after game, this is it.

The CRBN TruFoam™ Genesis is not just a paddle—it’s a leap forward in pickleball technology. Featuring 4th Generation Technology and a cutting-edge 100% foam core, it’s designed for players who prioritize consistency, precision, and longevity. Whether you’re aiming to reach the next level of competition or simply dominate your local courts, the Genesis provides the tools to elevate your game and your confidence.
