The CRBN4 TruFoam Barrage 14mm is designed for players who want the fastest paddle in the Barrage lineup. Compared to the CRBN1, CRBN2, and CRBN3 shapes, the CRBN4's hybrid profile sacrifices a little stability and reach in exchange for quicker hand speed and faster reloads at the kitchen line. The CRBN4 TruFoam Barrage 14mm is approved for tournament play by USAP, UPA-A, and meets the PBCoR .43 standard, making it legal for virtually all sanctioned pickleball events.

Quick Summary

Best For: Aggressive players who thrive in fast hand battles and speed-ups.

Play Style: Fast, explosive, attack-oriented.

Power: 9/10
Pop: 9.5/10
Spin: 9/10
Control: 8/10
Maneuverability: 10/10
Forgiveness: 7.5/10

What Stands Out

✅ Lowest swing weight in the Barrage series (109)
✅ Extremely quick through hands exchanges
✅ Powerful Gen 4 TruFoam floating core
✅ Excellent spin from Toray T700 raw carbon fiber face
✅ Large enough sweet spot for a hybrid shape
✅ Long 5.5" handle works well for two-handed backhands

Potential Drawbacks

❌ Not as forgiving as the CRBN2 square shape
❌ Less reach than elongated paddles like the CRBN1 or LOCO Elongated
❌ Premium price point

Who Should Buy It?

  • 4.0+ players who play aggressively at the kitchen
  • Former tennis players who like quick counters and speed-ups
  • Players who find elongated paddles a little slow in hand battles
  • Anyone looking for a Gen 4 foam-core paddle that feels lively without being overly head-heavy

Comparable Paddles

If you're considering the CRBN4 Barrage, other paddles in a similar category include:

  • JOOLA Perseus Pro IV 14mm
  • Selkirk LABS Project 008 Hybrid
  • Bread & Butter LOCO Hybrid
  • Paddletek Bantam TKO-C 14.3mm

For Pickleball NVZ customers, I'd expect the CRBN4 Barrage to appeal most to players who currently like the fast feel of a hybrid paddle but want more power and pop than traditional carbon-fiber control paddles. It's likely to be one of the strongest options in the Gen 4 foam-core category for speed-oriented doubles players.



  • The CRBN4 Barrage 14mm is ideal for intermediate to advanced players who prioritize hand speed, quick counters, and aggressive net play. Its hybrid shape and low swing weight make it especially effective during fast kitchen exchanges and attack-oriented doubles play.

  • The CRBN4 is designed for maximum maneuverability and faster hand speed, while the CRBN2 offers greater stability and forgiveness. Players who value quick reactions and fast reloads typically prefer the CRBN4, while those seeking a larger sweet spot may favor the CRBN2.

  • Yes. The 14mm Gen 4 TruFoam Floating Core delivers a more responsive feel with increased pop and power compared to thicker control-focused paddles. It allows players to generate pace with less effort while still maintaining excellent touch.

  • The Toray T700 Raw Carbon Fiber face provides exceptional spin potential. Players can easily create topspin drives, dipping passing shots, and aggressive cut serves while maintaining consistent ball control.

  • Yes. The 5.5-inch handle provides ample room for two-handed backhands, making it a popular choice among former tennis players and competitors who use a two-handed backhand technique.

  • Unlike traditional honeycomb cores, CRBN's Gen 4 TruFoam Floating Core utilizes advanced foam technology designed to deliver consistent performance, improved durability, a larger effective sweet spot, and reduced performance breakdown over time.
