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 = Gold

I played with the CRBN X1 for 2 years and loved it. I was nervous about making a switch but decided to go for it.

It was easy to make the adjustment. The paddle is very maneuverable, great balance and good pop. Normally I add lead tape but needed nothing added to the Barrage.

Five weeks after the switch, I just brought home 2 gold medals from Worlds in Dallas.

I’m glad I made the switch!

I love the power and control

I love the power and control!

Great Drops and Plenty of Power!

Writing

Really liking the CRBN Barrage so far! The drops feel great, and it has plenty of power when you need it. Overall, a solid paddle that feels great on the court!

Great paddle

Great paddle. For me I have good control and good power with it both. And I prefer this nice elongated handle.

Previously owned the Genesis

Previously owned the Genesis. Now, my Barrage ♥️ it! Great control and power 💥

OMG! This Paddle is in command!

OMG! This Paddle commands the court!! I cannot say enough! I have been taking lessons from a senior Pro Circuit player and was amazed to see have had switched to this paddle. She loves it too!

Fake warranty

Play well at the beginning. Broke down after a couple months and CRBN won’t honour the warranty.

Great Upgrade!

After using a control paddle since I started playing Pickleball, I was looking for more power without giving up too much control at the kitchen line. The "Barrage" is giving me the combo I was looking for.

I love this new paddle from CRBN

I love this new paddle from CRBN. I added a Red overwrap. I feel my game has improved and a few people noted that I was playing better. This is my 3rd CRBN racket and favorite one!

All the hype is warranted as the Barrage has the pop

All the hype is warranted as the Barrage has the pop, spin and control I was looking for. I was using the wave Wanted more control without losing the power. This paddle delivers it.

Excellent pop and plenty of control.

Upgraded from a Joola Hyperion 3S. So happy with the Barrage Elongated. Dialed it in within a week. Great pop and plenty of control. Love the feel. Highly recommend.

I like this paddle more than a prominent competitor's paddle I used for years

I like this paddle more than a prominent competitor's paddle I used for years. Spin and power are dramatically higher. I believe it's also a more durable construction method. More control and dwell, more pop, more longevity.

Barrage review

Right off the bat I noticed the sweet spot was significantly bigger than my waves. Also, the Pop at the net and during over heads is a lot better. Even with the paddle being poppier, I haven’t noticed a decline in touch or topspin. My favorite TruFoam yet.

great paddle!

I am a big CRBN fan. The Barrage is my third CRBN paddle and I am loving it. Took me a minute to dial in my third shot but now that I have I love the extra pop I have when I decide to drive.

I have purchased nine CRBN paddles over the last four years

I have purchased nine CRBN paddles over the last four years. All of them are good paddles. I gave some to my friends to promote the brand.
This is the second barrage, number 4 being my first one, number 3 being my latest one. It’s the best one, biggest sweet spot, most power and pop, it imparts spin well with touch. My journey seeking the Covenant of the Last Arch, the Golden Fleece, the Siren Song has come to a glorious end. If I think about buying another paddle I’m heading for rehab.

Barage 3

My Barage 3 after the 1st week is great. It has a nice blend of power and spin. In comparison to my Wave 3 it has a little more power but not as much spin but I like the added power and pop. The balance works out great for how I like to play and at the net it is a very strong paddle.

Great Paddle

I’ve played with this new paddle about 3 times so far and it seems to have a lot of pop yet a tone of control. I feel like I have much more spin on the ball as well. So far it’s been a great paddle.

To be honest the paddle seems to do very well

To be honest the paddle seems to do very well, it has a lot of pop and control seems a bit tricky compared to the gen3, I’m also trying the new Q2 which is about the same with the core.

I am really enjoying this paddle

I am really enjoying this paddle.The reach and feel are very nice.

You Got The Right One Baby!

You've seen all the rest, now it's time to play with the best! You guys started off strong but had a small hiccup with the Waves, and now have redeemed yourselves as possibly the best pickleball paddle of the year! Keep up the research and development in providing us with amazing paddles. Dr. Slice

I bought my CRBN3 TruFoam Barrage (Elongate) direct from CRBN and it was delivered on April 15

I bought my CRBN3 TruFoam Barrage (Elongate) direct from CRBN and it was delivered on April 15, 2026. I have played several games and 2 pickleball Ladders with it. The paddle performs as advertised. Love it.
I was using a CRBN 4 TruFoam Genesis I purchased from Pickleball Galaxy on December 18, 2025 before my new paddle arrived. Pickleball Galaxy never informed buyers that we must register the paddle within 14 days with CRBN to be covered by their warranty. This paddle broke, something is rattling inside. I am very disappointed that CRBN's authorized resellers do not inform their buyers to register the Paddle with the Manufacturer. I am out of a fairly new paddle.

Awesome paddle!! The minute I started playing with Barrage 3

Awesome paddle!! The minute I started playing with Barrage 3, I played so well and aimed the ball very well. It was fantastic feeling when I am able to move up myself from 3.5 to 4.0 level PB tournament.

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.
