CRBN 4 TruFoam Genesis Raw Carbon Pickleball Paddle

The CRBN TruFoam Genesis 4 Pickleball Paddle expands the Gen-4 lineup with a unique hybrid shape that's designed for fast-paced play without sacrificing the buttery feel that’s made the TruFoam line such a standout. The Genesis 4 introduces CRBN’s new AeroCurve taper, reducing drag at the paddle’s top end to give us quicker reloads at the kitchen, smoother transitions in hand battles, and better whip on drives. Listed at 16.2” long and 7.75” wide, we measure it a bit shorter, making this somewhere between a standard and hybrid shape, but regardless of what you call it, it strikes a balance between reach and responsiveness. The 5.5” handle offers a familiar feel for both one- and two-handed play.

Compared to the rest of the TruFoam family, the Genesis 4 slides neatly between power and precision. It’s faster than the elongated Genesis 1, more stable than the compact Genesis 2, and brings more finesse than the hard-driving Genesis 3. Like its siblings, it’s built around CRBN’s 14mm patent-pending TruFoam core, offering enhanced vibration dampening, a more durable sweet spot, and consistent pop across the face—all without the break-in or fatigue issues of traditional polypropylene honeycomb. Paired with the spin-friendly T700 Raw Carbon Fiber face, the Genesis 4 delivers confident feel, controlled aggression, and just the right amount of feedback.
