Comparison Chart
Offering two distinct paddle shapes in both 14 and 16mm thicknesses, each designed with varying specs to match any play style or preference.
Please Note: The specifications above are averages and approximations and may vary from paddle to paddle.
Every CRBN¹ Paddle comes with a FREE Neoprene Paddle Cover ($20 Value).
The CRBN¹ Pickleball Paddle features a raw T700 carbon fiber face with a honeycomb polypropylene core. Carbon fiber is the optimal choice of material for paddles. Not only does it produce insane amounts of spin, but it also provides a massive sweet spot with the perfect balance of power and control.
The CRBN¹ weighs an average of 8.0 ounces to give you the stability you need at the net for blocking and returning hard-hit balls. The elongated shape allows for great court coverage which will set you up to return anything your opponent can throw at you, and the extra length on the handle allows just enough room for a two-handed backhand drive.
Available in a thinner core for those who love power, or thicker core for those who want a bit of a softer feel around the net.
We kept the design sleek and subtle because we like our playing to do the talking, not our paddle.
*Note: The Classic Series, formerly known as the 'Control Series,' reflects a change in name only. The same CRBN paddles you know and love, with clearer collection and model names.

Purchasing the CRBN Elongated paddle is the best equipment change ive made. Im not a banger so i look for spin and control, and this paddle has it. The added power from the sweet spot is an extra bonus
J
Loved the paddle so much that I ordered another one a week later!! Can't say enough about the feel/control of these paddles. I'll never go w/ another brand now, I'm hooked!

I ordered a couple Classic 1 elongated and a couple Performance 3x hybrid. The paddles both feel different in your hand. The classic has a more rectangle handle and performance is more round. I like them both but tend to play more with the 3x. I share the classics with my kids and friends who do not have their own and I think that handle shape helps them with control.

Excellent Paddle. Great feel.

This paddle brought me my first singles medal. I have never felt so comfortable wielding a CRBN paddle & I’ve tried many competitors. This is all I need!
P
Gives me some pop and control.
Like the elongated design as I have a 2 handed backhand. Feels light and maneuverable at the net.

I’ve used several different paddles over the course of my pickleball journey and this is the best paddle I’ve owned hands down! It does it all, control, power, spin, a game changer! Love the elongated handle for my two handed back hand too!

I've used my new paddle once and already love it. My previous paddle is CRBN2x which I also really liked but because I'm trying to hit more topspin shots, I think I prefer the slightly longer paddle.

I am trying to progress from 'advanced beginner' to intermediate and this paddle offers plenty to get me there. It feels great in your hand and is extremely light and easy to handle. I am getting used to the power but the precision is there and will just take a few more reps to hone in. I am glad I purchased this after contemplating many other options.
K
Still the best paddle on the market IMHO

Originally bought a CRBN2. A friend commented that I might prefer the elongated CRBN1. Well, wifey tried and liked the CRBN2 which gave me an excuse to buy a CRBN1. Really like the extended reach and the soft touch. But it is not lacking on the power end: I can punch with the best of them. (I was really, really bummed when there was a mix up in a paddle stack, and I ended up with someone’s 14mm instead of my 16mm. Fortunately, I got it back.) And to add to the kudos to CRBN, I received the paddle with a slight nick/cut on the rubber band at the top of the handle. Contacted CRBN customer service and they immediately sent me a new one. And it ain’t just a plain black one: too cool (see the pic). I am a CRBN C(i)D for life!

I absolutely love this paddle! There’s no other one for me.

He’d sing, I love this paddle

The CRBN 1 is a terrific paddle. The paddle provides a great balance of power and touch. Love it!
J
I love this paddle - it has elevated my game tremendously. I highly recommend it!
D
Best paddle on the market for touch and the soft game. I've played with nearly every brand and multiple models. Nothing compares to that first 3rd shot drop with a CRBN1
T
Very fast shipping! Love the paddle!
E
It's still the best thing ever. The soft series is what we all love.
L
Best paddle I can find on the market and I have tried most.
I have the elongated handle original crbn and love it.
Great power, spin and control. Love the smooth sound of ball coming off of it.
J
I’ve enjoyed using it. Feels good and good grip. My friend is buying one after trying mine out.
K
The feel of this 16mm CRBN1 paddle is great. It offers awesome touch and control at the net without out too much power. Highly recommend it.
