The Future is Foam™

The CRBN TruFoam™ Genesis is more than just a paddle—it's the next evolution in pickleball. With cutting-edge 4th Generation Technology and a 100% foam core, the Genesis is engineered for players who demand performance, precision, and durability. Whether you're climbing the ranks or just looking to dominate your local court, the Genesis is designed to help you look and play like the best.

What to Expect When First Trying Genesis?

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 By ditching outdated materials like honeycomb and designing a seamless, stabilized high-density core, we’ve created a paddle that delivers unmatched durability and reliable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.

Because the spin is largely generated by the core, you won’t face the same decline in performance over time as you would with paddles that rely solely on surface grit, which inevitably wears down.

Controlled Power

Raw power alone doesn’t win matches. The TruFoam™ Genesis delivers power where it counts, but its true strength lies in its balance. Unlike the overpowered paddles from other brands that completely ignore control, the Genesis helps you refine your game by offering just the right amount of force, exactly when you need it. And make no mistake—this paddle doesn’t lack power. In fact, it hits harder than our X Series, giving you the edge to finish points without sacrificing touch. Built to comply with current and future regulations, the Genesis isn’t just reliable—it’s designed to make you a better, more complete player, elevating every aspect of your game.

Paddle Thickness Simplified

No gimmicks. No confusion. The Genesis is precision-engineered at 14mm, delivering unmatched consistency and control—no guesswork required. Forget everything you thought you knew about how paddle thickness impacts performance. With the Genesis, those old rules no longer apply.

In the past, paddle companies (ourselves included) relied on varying thicknesses—12mm, 14mm, 16mm—to offer slight differences in power and control. This was a necessary workaround for the limitations of honeycomb cores, which couldn’t be fine-tuned. But with TruFoam™, we’ve rewritten the playbook.

Our proprietary core technology allows us to adjust foam density and structure with pinpoint precision, eliminating the need for multiple thickness options. The result? A paddle that’s perfectly balanced and engineered for high-level performance in every shot.

Best-in-Class Peel Ply Paddle Face

The TruFoam Genesis paddle face features a unique T700 raw carbon fiber layup, enhanced with an added layer of fiberglass for unmatched strength and performance. This layup is unlike anything else on the market, including our own X Series and Classic Series paddles. It’s meticulously engineered to meet the demands of the modern game while delivering the premium feel and precision players expect from CRBN.

The CRBN Advantage

At CRBN, we don’t settle for ordinary. Based in Costa Mesa, California, we’re a team of innovators dedicated to advancing the sport of pickleball. The TruFoam™ Genesis is the result of 18 months of development, more than 200 prototypes, and a complete reimagining of paddle technology.

Our in-house engineer uses rapid prototyping to test and refine every detail, ensuring each paddle exceeds expectations. What does that mean for you? A paddle that’s designed to perform—and built to last.
