CRBN TruFoam Genesis 3

The TruFoam Genesis is the first Gen-4 pickleball paddle, breaking new ground with a 100% foam core. Unlike traditional paddles that use materials like honeycomb or thermoformed polypropylene, this new core technology enhances strength and performance, setting a new benchmark for foam-only paddles. The Gen-4 classification marks a departure from older designs, and it opens the door for further innovations in foam core technology by CRBN and other manufacturers.

The TFG core is engineered for exceptional durability and consistency, eliminating the common issue of core crush. By designing a completely new core technology, CRBN created a paddle that outperforms previous generations, ensuring strength, durability, and superior pickleball play. With this design, the TFG delivers reliable performance from day one, with no break-in period, offering consistent results throughout its lifespan.

The TFG paddle strikes a perfect balance of power, control, and spin. While it may not be the most powerful paddle on the market, it provides ample power while complying with current and future regulations. Its unique foam core maximizes dwell time, allowing players to generate real spin. With a consistent 14mm thickness, the TFG is designed for a versatile, high-performance experience, offering players the best of all worlds—no need to choose between control or power. Its T700 raw carbon fiber face, enhanced with fiberglass, completes the design, providing strength and performance like no other paddle.

First Gen-4 Paddle

TruFoam Genesis breaks new ground as the first tournament-approved performance paddle with a 100% foam core. By engineering an entirely new core technology that eliminates the need for outdated materials, Gen-4 boosts strength and performance, setting a new standard and paving the way for future innovations in foam-only paddle technology from CRBN and other manufacturers.

Unmatched Durability & Consistency

Wave goodbye to core crush. Our patent-pending TFG cores are engineered for strength and the properties of the foam make it so it won’t crush like previous generations of paddles.
We decided to throw out the traditional approach to paddle design and created a completely different core technology. By starting from scratch, we overcame the limitations of existing materials and developed a unique blend that’s far more durable than honeycomb or any other paddle on the market.
We see a “break-in period” as a design flaw, not a feature. The TFG performs exceptionally from day one—and stays consistent. By engineering a core without the need for additional stabilizers or components like honeycomb or stringers, we eliminate weak points where materials could separate or settle, ensuring reliable performance over time.

Gone are the days of trying to decide between 12mm, 14mm, and 16mm paddles. With our TFG core technology, there’s no reason to have cores of different thicknesses.
Previous paddle generations had to rely on core thickness to balance power and control due to the limitations of manipulating honeycomb polypropylene.
In our Genesis core and all future TruFoam Series iterations, we have the ability to customize the performance of the core on a granular level. We can adjust the foam density and structure to meet whatever power/control specifications we desire. We’ve chosen a 14mm thickness and plan to stick to that for now and fine-tune the playstyle internally.

Spin & Dwell

We know every paddle brand claims to deliver great spin… but with the TFG, it’s the real deal. Generating spin isn’t just about surface roughness. We feel the core is even more important. Our core was engineered to maximize dwell time and flex, replicating the dynamics of a tennis racket. You’re going to love how much shape you can put on the ball.We decided to throw out the traditional approach to paddle design and created a completely different core technology.

Our TFG features a unique T700 raw carbon fiber layup unlike any other paddle out there including our own X and Classic Series paddles.
An added layer of fiberglass is included for strength and performance.

Balanced Power

We’ll be the first to say this isn’t the most powerful paddle on the market—and that’s intentional. The TFG offers more power than our X Series, earning its place as a ‘Power Paddle,’ but it’s not off the charts like some from other brands. Uncontrollable power doesn’t help most players win more matches, and it won’t be a long-term option as USAPA and UPA-A look to rein in the outliers in 2025.
We designed the TFG to comply with current and future paddle regulations, and we created a paddle that helps you improve your entire game. The TFG strikes the perfect balance of all the key paddle attributes
In the future, we may choose to design different paddles to maximize certain attributes for players that want specialization, but we purposefully wanted TFG to be the most well-rounded high-performance paddle on the market.
