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 TruFoam™ Genesis is just the beginning. As the first of many CRBN paddles to feature this groundbreaking core, it sets the foundation for a new era of pickleball innovation. TruFoam™ is the platform that allows us to fine-tune performance with unparalleled precision, paving the way for a future of paddles designed to redefine the game. The Genesis is the start of something bigger—where technology and performance meet to elevate every player’s potential.

The core of the TruFoam™ Genesis paddle is 100% foam and is made from our proprietary TruFoam™ blend, a high-performance foam specifically engineered for durability, consistency, and control. It’s not EVA or PMI—it’s a completely unique material inspired by the foam cores used in surfboards, reimagined for pickleball to deliver unmatched performance.

Yes, yes, and yes. The TruFoam™ Genesis paddle is USAPA 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.

No and that's on purpose. The TruFoam™ Genesis delivers impressive power—more than our X Series—while maintaining the balance that sets it apart. It’s designed to give you the force you need to finish points with authority, but without the wild, uncontrollable power of other paddles. Instead of sacrificing precision, the Genesis combines power and control to help you play smarter and more effectively. With the Genesis, you’ll have all the power you need—strategically tuned to elevate your ENTIRE game.

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 Genesis, 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 Genesis 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 Genesis 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.
