Relentless by Design

The CRBN TruFoam™ Barrage is built for players who want power that shows up instantly. Using the same 100% TruFoam™ Gen-4 foam core technology that defines Genesis and Waves, Barrage introduces a new core architecture engineered specifically for pop-based power. The result is a paddle that delivers immediate explosion on contact, faster ball speed, and relentless pressure in every exchange.

Designed for players who attack early, speed the game up, and finish points decisively, Barrage turns quick swings into clean winners while maintaining the stability and consistency the TruFoam family is known for.

Whether you thrive in hands battles, punish high balls, or rely on fast counters and drives, Barrage is designed to keep your opponents on their heels.


What to Expect When First Trying Barrage

From your first hit, Barrage feels fast and alive. The response off the face is immediate, with a crisp pop that rewards quick acceleration and confident swings. There is no lag and no delay. The ball jumps off the paddle with purpose.

At the heart of Barrage is a proprietary floating foam core that sits within an EVA foam perimeter ring. This construction stabilizes the paddle, increases perimeter weighting, and expands the effective sweet spot. You get explosive pop without the unpredictable feedback that often comes with high-power paddles.

The result is a paddle that feels controlled even when you swing hard. Quick volleys feel sharp and decisive. Counters come off clean. Drives stay on line.


Why Choose Barrage?

Instant Pop and Explosive Power

Barrage is built for pop-based power. Its floating foam core is tuned to return energy immediately, creating a fast, responsive feel that shines in hands battles, speed-ups, and aggressive drives. Power is available the moment you swing, without extra load time.

Stability Where It Matters Most

The EVA foam perimeter ring adds structure and perimeter weighting, increasing torsional stability and enlarging the sweet spot. Off-center hits stay controlled and predictable, even at high swing speeds. This stability allows you to attack confidently without sacrificing consistency.

Consistent Performance That Lasts

Like Genesis and Waves, Barrage eliminates core crush and break-down found in older gen paddles. The high-density TruFoam™ core provides longevity in performance that you will not find with honeycomb.

Spin You Can Trust

Spin is generated through TruFoam’s internal dynamics rather than surface grit alone. This means your spin remains reliable and repeatable over time, even as traditional surface textures wear down. Shape the ball with confidence on drives, rolls, and counters.

One Thickness. No Compromises.

Barrage is engineered at 14mm to deliver the ideal balance of power, stability, and feel. TruFoam™ technology removes the need to choose between thickness options. You get a paddle tuned for modern, fast-paced pickleball without trade-offs.

Premium Carbon Face

Barrage features CRBN’s signature T700 raw carbon fiber face to handle the demands of high-impact play. Our proprietary layup configuration, enhances responsiveness while maintaining strength, spin, and control under aggressive swings.


The CRBN Advantage

CRBN Pickleball, based in Costa Mesa, California, is built by players who demand more from their gear. Barrage is the result of extensive prototyping and a ground-up rethink of how foam-core power should feel for fast, aggressive play.

The CRBN TruFoam™ Barrage is not just powerful. It is precise, stable, and relentless.

Barrage Best CRBN Paddle to Date

With each paddle iteration, CRBN knocks it out off the park. The Barrage has remarkable control and somehow increased power. The weight balance is just right and feels great.

With their outstanding customer service and return/warranty policy choosing CRBN Barrage is a no brainer.

Only purchased last week and only played a total

Only purchased last week and only played a total of 20 games!!! But, I’m taking this baby to bed with me at nite!!!! I actually can not believe the difference it’s making in my game. I was already a generally consistent player and love the net play BUT I was feeling slow and heavy. Not anymore!!
The pop is unbelievable and I can hardly believe I’m returning like I am.
The overall power is great but I am having to learn to rein it in a little….but, any placements that are not where they are supposed to be is pilot error….all I can say is GREAT!!

I love my CRBN Barrage 4

I love my CRBN Barrage 4. It has tons of power and spin, but somehow still gives me amazing control at the kitchen line. Hands down, it’s the best paddle I’ve ever played with.

What I like most is that the power is there when I want it. If I swing hard, it gives me plenty of pop, but I don’t feel like I have to constantly soften my hands just to control it like I do with a lot of power paddles. It’s easy to calibrate and doesn’t get away from me.

When I want power, it’s there. When I want soft touch and control, that’s there too. I really can’t ask for much more, although I’m sure CRBN will find a way to make something even better.

Perfection

I've been a CRBN 1x man for years... When the Trufoam Genesis line of paddles came out I was very excited about the technology but didn't have the ability to test it out before buying, since it was a new technology and not really the same "power" paddle as the 1x, I didn't pull the trigger. Then, CRBN came out with the Waves line and that got me thinking that they're probably gonna come out with a Trufoam power paddle at some point so I started saving up. Enter the Barrage!!!

I did have the opportunity to try this one out for a couple points with a friend before buying. It was a dream!!!

When mine came in and I was able to go out and play a team tournament with it and switching from my 1x to the Barrage 4 was seamless! It actually had MORE pop than my 1x(admittedly my 1x was/is nearly 4 years old so may not have the same zip as at first) but gave me just that slightly better feel and touch in transition and at the kitchen! It is everything I hoped it was and little bit better actually!

I'm very pleased! If you lean towards a power paddle, This is one of the best I've ever seen or used. It has all the power you need for the big put aways and speedups, while also giving you the feel and touch to play defense and manipulate the soft game at the kitchen line... I didn't even touch on the ground strokes also!!! The dwell time allows me to shape the ball even better than before with my 1x and my ground strokes with the 1x are very good to begin with!

Overall excellent paddle. I'd give this one a 6th star! Worth every penny.

Definitely a great upgrade from CBRN X1 which I've been using for a year

Definitely a great upgrade from CBRN X1 which I've been using for a year. The Barrage has more power and control but slightly heavier. A little top heavy but a coin counterweight will solve this issue. My game has significantly improved by just using this padel. Compared to my friend's boomstick, this padel has less power but more control and spin which I prefer. It's a-lot easier to place the ball. The strongest strength of this padel is in the kitchen, specially the flick and roll shots.

CRBN⁴ TruFoam Barrage, excellent control, power and durability

I’ve been really impressed with the CRBN⁴ TruFoam Barrage. It gives me a great combination of control and power without feeling slow or difficult to maneuver. The paddle feels very fast in my hands, especially at the kitchen, and I’ve noticed a real improvement in my resets, defensive shots, and overall consistency.

What I like most is that I don’t feel like I have to sacrifice control to get power. When I need to speed the ball up or put a little extra on a drive, the power is there, but on softer shots and resets I still feel very connected to the ball. The sweet spot also feels very forgiving and the paddle has been extremely comfortable to play with.

I’ve also been impressed with the durability so far. I’ve accidentally had a few paddle clashes while playing doubles, and the face still looks great with no noticeable scratches or marks. That was especially impressive to me because I’ve had other paddles show marks much sooner.

Overall, the Barrage has quickly become one of my favorite paddles. I feel more confident playing with it and honestly feel like I’m playing better pickleball with it. Great balance of speed, control, power and feel. Definitely a 5-star paddle for me.

Love the Barrage BUT please have extended handles

I love the Barrage. I have several good paddles but i keep coming back to the Barrage 4. I would just love it if we can have an extended handle around 6 inches for two handed backhands. Its so hard to do two handed backhands when the handle is very short.

Exceeded Expectations?

As a US Senior Pickleball Brand Ambassador, i frequently get asked about paddle reviews and recommendations for seniors. The CRBN4 Barrage exceeded my expectations in performance, control, and comfort. Features of aerodynamic lightweight design attributed to quick response time. Depending on your play style, adding tungsten weighted tape allows flexibility for that plough through feel. Truly a fantastic paddle! -Pickleball Roz

This paddle has been great right out of the box

This paddle has been great right out of the box. I used it the first day I had it and was worried about playing without adding a bit of weight. That was not a problem and I still haven’t felt the need to add weight yet. I have only used it about three times but am very happy with it.

FAQs

TruFoam™ is CRBN’s proprietary core technology—a high-density foam blend meticulously engineered to deliver unmatched durability, consistency, and performance. Unlike traditional honeycomb cores, TruFoam™ boasts a seamless, 100% foam construction that eliminates weak points like core crush and material separation, all while maximizing dwell time and flex for enhanced playability.

The core of the TruFoam™ Barrage paddle is 100% foam and is made from our proprietary TruFoam™ blend, a high-performance foam specifically engineered for durability, consistency, and control.

Yes, yes, and yes. The TruFoam™ Barrage paddle is USAP approved and fully compliant with all current tournament regulations. It’s designed not only to meet the highest standards of competitive play but also to remain compliant with evolving rules, ensuring you can play with confidence today and in the future.

The TruFoam™ Genesis represents a significant leap forward from 3rd generation technology. While Gen-3 paddles generally introduced foam-enhanced cores by injecting or adhering foam to honeycomb or other materials, they still relied on hybrid designs with inherent limitations.

The Waves, as a Gen-4 paddle, features a 100% foam core—a first in tournament-approved performance paddles. This eliminates the weak points found in hybrid constructions, such as material separation or inconsistencies over time. With its seamless, high-density foam core, the Waves delivers unmatched durability, consistency, and control that Gen-3 paddles simply can’t match. It’s the evolution of paddle technology, raising the bar for performance across the board.

Developing TruFoam™ took time because we weren’t just making tweaks—we created an entirely new paddle technology from the ground up. Over 18 months and more than 200 prototypes, we worked tirelessly to perfect the design. This included reinventing the production process, designing custom machinery, and pushing material engineering to its limits. Our goal was simple: to deliver a paddle that performs at the highest level without compromise. The result is a one-of-a-kind core that redefines what’s possible in pickleball.

The thickness of the TruFoam Barrage paddle is 14mm, precision-engineered to deliver the perfect balance of power and control without the need for multiple thickness options.

We’ve chosen a single thickness—14mm—because our TruFoam™ core technology allows us to fine-tune the paddle’s performance at a much deeper level. Unlike traditional honeycomb cores, which rely on varying thicknesses to balance power and control, TruFoam™ enables us to adjust foam density and structure with precision. This means we can optimize the paddle for high-level performance without the need for multiple thickness options, ensuring consistency and simplicity for every player.
