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.

WOW! I liked CRBN before but I LOVE this new paddle

WOW! I liked CRBN before but I LOVE this new paddle. I've played about 6 hours now and it is extremely responsive and the control is superb. In instances where I just need to neutralize opponent pace this paddle soars. It takes the punch and send it back in a much more predictable and controllable way. So yes, it's worth it and I recommend you get one... and if you do let's partner up.

Love the paddle! I own two older 2X paddles and was overdue for an upgrade

Love the paddle! I own two older 2X paddles and was overdue for an upgrade. This paddle has amazing pop and great feel for drops and dinking.

Good paddle

Good paddle. good pop, still hard to get used to its advantages. good sweet spot, not super powerfull, but the power is well controlled

Extremely large sweetspot

Extremely large sweetspot. Great feel for resets in transition. Counters have pop.

I am very impressed with this paddle! I adapted to it quickly! My only comment is the grip

I am very impressed with this paddle! I adapted to it quickly! My only comment is the grip. You can feel the handle through it. Selkirk had you beat on this one. But I am pleased with the paddle.

Really liking the CRBN² TruFoam Barrage

Really liking the CRBN² TruFoam Barrage. The pop is lively, the compact handle feels natural in my hand, and the lightness makes it easy on my arm during long sessions. The only adjustment curve is the dinking touch, but I’m confident it’ll settle in as I get more plays. And I’ve got to call out the plastic edge wrap — such a smart design choice for protecting the paddle from bumps and clashes.

It's a Winner!

Love this new Barrage paddle! It is quick at the kitchen on dinks, resets and counters and it has a real pop on drives and overheads. I haven't tried putting the weights on it, just stock out of the bag - seems to help my game as I now feel more confidence.

Another amazing paddle from the team at CRBN

Another amazing paddle from the team at CRBN. This paddle improved on the characteristics of the trufoam genesis and waves and gave me the pop and power I was looking for while still retaining spin and control. The TFB2 wide body shape had a large sweet spot that became even better with the addition of weighted tape.

I bought the Barrage true foam 2

I bought the Barrage true foam 2. Prior to purchasing this product, I own the Selkirk luxx and the innovation, nothing against them at all.
The CRBN Barrage has more pop more control and it has a little more bite for spin.I don’t have to add any weighted tape for pop or control.
Totally love this paddle. I’m probably a 3.5 - 4.0 player

No break in period

No break in period, instant satisfaction.More similar to the Trufoam Genesis than the Waves.

Absolutely the best of the best paddle with amazing control

Absolutely the best of the best paddle with amazing control, touch and power combine. So happy to play with all of my CRBN paddles!

TF Barrage best paddle to date

Very impressed with the Barrage TF 2. The feel in your hands, the control, the pop. Have not played with a better paddle to date.

Great paddle

I enjoy it very much

I enjoy it very much, better control and placement

Great paddle

Solid paddle. Had a Trufoam Genesis and loved that. The Barrage has a little more pop and a nice feel. Love it!

The Barrage is an awesome paddle!!

The Barrage is an awesome paddle. Lots of power & control at the net! My dinks go OVER the net where I want them & surprise my opponents at the accuracy! Power is great for me because I'm a 5'1 mid 70yr old. Players comment they are surprised by my power. Thank you Barrage!!

Really enjoying CRBN2 Barrage

I have had 3 CRBN paddles over several years and have loved playing with each of the them. The CRBN2 Barrage, is fast becoming my favorite.

New main… great all around paddle for me. Pop and great soft game.

Great control paddle with more power than I thought it would have

Great control paddle with more power than I thought it would have. Had it 2 weeks now, very pleased.

I love my Trufoam Barrage Square paddle

I love my Trufoam Barrage Square paddle. I use it for practice as it has a very large sweet spot. I use a true foam hybrid for my matches, but I love practicing with a square paddle because the swing weight is heavier. I also play with the elongated shape when I play singles matches. CRBN hit the ball out of the park with each paddle shape. Seriously “10 out of 10” for each paddle shape. CRBN has the best paddles on the market and it’s not even close!!!

Great paddle

Great paddle.

Unfortunately, I left at the courts 2 weeks after receiving and never got I back ….

It's a very confortable paddle

It's a very confortable paddle...easy to get used to...overall I like the feel when hitting the ball, makes so much difference.
I dont normally use wide paddles but I'd deffo use this one.

Paddle has control and power

Paddle has control and power. I was able to gain control my very first time playing, this is something that I could never do with other paddles.

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.
