CRBN 2 Trufoam Genesis 14mm

Serving as CRBN’s first standard shaped “Gen-4" paddle, the TF Genesis 2 Pickleball Paddle and the other two paddles in the line (Genesis 1, Genesis 3) brings pickleball into the next generation with the introduction of the TruFoam core. This core replaces the time-consuming break in period and annoying crush of a polypropylene honeycomb core and leans on two pieces of foam instead. This new technology is easy to tweak from a performance standpoint, so that the balance point, pop, plow through sweet spot, and soft feel can all be perfected without changing the thickness of the core.

With this new core technology, the 16" CRBN TF Genesis 2 Pickleball Paddle provides a familiar standard shape and more power than the X-Series but is designed to help enhance every aspect of our game, rather than just bolstering power. Unsurprisingly, this balanced performance is made possible by how the TruFoam core interacts with the 7.85" wide T700 Raw Carbon hitting surface. Sure, the surface is as rigid and naturally textured as it has always been, but it now works with the new core to provide tennis racquet-like response that helps add linger time and rpms for some of the most crisp and dialed control shots we have ever been able to hit. The 5.25" handle completes this anything-but-standard package by keeping our hand close to the sweet spot and ready to reload.

You’ll notice immediately that this paddle doesn’t feel like anything you’ve used before. The soft, muted sound and plush feedback on contact might make you second-guess its power potential at first. But don’t be fooled. While the paddle’s flex and controlled touch excel in resets and precision shots, the real surprise comes when you put some force into your swings. Just like the flexing strings of a tennis racket, the paddle unlocks power on demand. Finesse and force, right at your fingertips. Because it’s so different, give yourself time to adjust. Understand that the learning curve is part of the process—and once you’ve unlocked what’s possible with the TruFoam™ Genesis, you’ll realize it’s a game-changer. Why Choose Genesis ?

Gen-4 Technology Built for the Future

The TruFoam™ Genesis isn’t just an upgrade—it’s a revolution. Powered by patent-pending 4th generation technology, this paddle breaks new ground as the first-ever 100% foam core performance paddle approved for tournament play. While other foam-only paddles have existed, they’ve fallen short—either failing to meet tournament standards or lacking the performance serious players demand. The TruFoam™ Genesis changes everything, delivering unmatched consistency, durability, and game-changing performance from the very first hit. No honeycomb. No plastic core. No compromises. Just the future of pickleball.

Unmatched Durability & Consistency

Built to last. Say goodbye to core crush and the frustrating inconsistency of break-in periods. This paddle performs at its peak from day one and stays that way over time. By ditching outdated materials like honeycomb and designing a seamless, stabilized high-density core, we’ve created a paddle that delivers unmatched durability and reliable performance shot after shot, game after game.

Game-Changing Spin

Spin isn’t just about surface roughness or grit. The TruFoam™ Genesis core is engineered to replicate the dynamics of strings on a tennis racket, maximizing dwell time and flex to give players with proper technique a decisive edge. For those who know how to shape their shots, this paddle delivers spin that feels effortless and is unstoppable. Dial it in, and you’ll be hitting shots you once thought were impossible.
