Play bigger at the kitchen and finish points higher in the contact zone with the CRBN1 TruFoam Barrage Pickleball Paddle. This potent power paddle pairs a 16.5" elongated frame with a 5.75" handle, giving two-handed players more leverage and aggressive players more reach and swing speed to end points with emphasis.
Its Gen 4 TruFoam Floating Core is a 100% foam construction reinforced with perimeter carbon for added rigidity. The result is pop-based power with a crisp, stable response. Compared to the other Barrage shapes, this model leans hardest into offense. The 118-swing weight and lower 5.89 twist weight favor speed through contact and decisive finishing over maximum forgiveness.
