CRBN² TF Genesis (Square Paddle)

The Future is Foam™

The CRBN TruFoam™ Genesis isn’t just another paddle—it represents the next breakthrough in pickleball innovation. Designed with 4th Generation Technology and a revolutionary 100% foam core, it’s built for players who demand top-tier performance, accuracy, and longevity. Whether you're working your way up the competitive ladder or looking to dominate your weekend matches, the Genesis is crafted to help you play and feel like an elite athlete.

What to Expect When First Trying Genesis?

From the very first hit, you’ll notice that the TruFoam™ Genesis plays unlike anything you’ve experienced before. Its soft, muted sound and plush feedback might make you wonder about its power—but don’t be deceived. The controlled flex and elite touch make resets and precision shots a breeze, but when you unleash your swing, the real magic happens. Just like the strings of a tennis racket, the Genesis flexes to generate power precisely when you need it. Mastering this paddle takes time, but once you do, you’ll unlock a new level of control and performance that sets this paddle apart from the rest.

Why Choose Genesis?

Gen-4 Technology Built for the Future

The TruFoam™ Genesis isn’t just an improved version of past paddles—it’s a complete technological leap forward. Built with patent-pending 4th Generation Technology, it’s the first-ever 100% foam core tournament-approved performance paddle. Other foam paddles have existed before, but they either failed to meet pro-level standards or lacked the performance serious players need. The Genesis changes the game, offering unrivaled consistency, long-lasting durability, and top-tier playability from the very first swing. No honeycomb. No plastic core. No compromises. Just next-level pickleball innovation.

Unmatched Durability & Consistency

Forget paddles that break down over time—this one is built to last. Say goodbye to core crush and inconsistent performance. With a seamless, high-density foam core, the Genesis provides exceptional durability and maintains peak performance from the very first use. Unlike traditional honeycomb designs that weaken over time, this paddle remains consistent, ensuring every shot feels just as crisp as the last.

Game-Changing Spin

Creating spin isn’t just about adding texture to a paddle face. The TruFoam™ Genesis core mimics the performance of a tennis racket’s strings, enhancing dwell time and flex for maximum spin potential. For players with the right technique, this paddle delivers effortless, next-level spin.

Because the spin is generated by the core rather than just surface roughness, the Genesis maintains its performance far longer than paddles that rely solely on grit—meaning your shots stay just as effective even after extensive play.

Controlled Power

Power alone isn’t enough to win points—it’s about harnessing power with control. The Genesis provides the perfect balance between power and precision, ensuring you get maximum force when you need it while maintaining the finesse required for strategic play. Unlike other paddles that sacrifice control for sheer power, the Genesis allows you to dictate the pace of the game. And yes—it packs more punch than our X Series, so you’ll have no trouble putting points away. Fully compliant with current and future regulations, this paddle is built to help develop your all-around game and sharpen every aspect of your play.

Paddle Thickness Simplified

No guesswork, no unnecessary variations—just precision engineering at 14mm thickness for the ultimate balance of consistency and control. Forget what you thought you knew about paddle thickness. With Genesis, the old standards don’t apply.

In the past, different paddle thicknesses (12mm, 14mm, 16mm) were necessary to fine-tune power and control because honeycomb cores lacked adjustability. But with TruFoam™ technology, we’ve eliminated that limitation.

Our cutting-edge foam core allows us to customize density and structure at a microscopic level, eliminating the need for multiple thicknesses. The result? A paddle that delivers elite-level performance in every shot, every time.

Best-in-Class Peel Ply Paddle Face

The TruFoam™ Genesis paddle face features an exclusive T700 raw carbon fiber layup, reinforced with an extra layer of fiberglass for unmatched strength and responsiveness. Unlike anything currently on the market—including our own X Series and Classic Series paddles—this advanced layup is designed to meet the demands of today’s fast-paced game while delivering the crisp feel and precision CRBN players expect.

The CRBN Advantage

At CRBN, we don’t just make paddles—we redefine the sport. Based in Costa Mesa, California, our team is dedicated to advancing pickleball technology. The TruFoam™ Genesis is the result of 18 months of meticulous development, over 200 prototypes, and a complete reinvention of paddle design.

With an in-house engineering team using rapid prototyping, every detail is tested and refined to create paddles that push the limits of what’s possible. The result? A paddle that’s not just built to perform—it’s built to last.
