Absorb pace, reset cleanly, and stay steady in fast exchanges with the CRBN2 TruFoam Barrage Pickleball Paddle. This defensive weapon uses a 7.85" wide standard shape to increase face stability and expand the effective sweet spot so that we can fight off power players with ease.
Built on the same 100% Gen 4 TruFoam Floating Core and Toray T700 carbon platform as the rest of the Barrage series, this shape shifts the balance toward control. With the highest twist weight in the lineup at 6.9 and a manageable 111 swing weight, it is the most defensive and reset-oriented option of the four.
