CRBN 4 TruFoam Genesis Pickleball Paddle

The CRBN TruFoam Genesis 4 Pickleball Paddle expands the Gen-4 series with a unique hybrid shape designed for fast, dynamic play—without losing the signature buttery feel that defines the TruFoam lineup. This model debuts CRBN’s new AeroCurve taper, which reduces drag at the paddle’s upper edge to deliver quicker reloads at the kitchen, smoother hand battles, and improved whip on drives. While listed at 16.2" by 7.75", our measurements put it slightly shorter, placing it between a standard and hybrid profile. No matter how you classify it, the Genesis 4 strikes an ideal balance between reach and responsiveness. The 5.5" handle offers a comfortable, familiar grip for both one- and two-handed shots.

Within the TruFoam family, the Genesis 4 naturally lands between power and precision. It’s faster than the elongated Genesis 1, more stable than the compact Genesis 2, and offers greater finesse than the power-focused Genesis 3. Like the rest of the lineup, it features CRBN’s 14mm patent-pending TruFoam core, delivering improved vibration dampening, a more durable sweet spot, and consistent pop across the entire face—all without the break-in period or fatigue common with traditional polypropylene honeycomb cores. Paired with a spin-heavy T700 Raw Carbon Fiber face, the Genesis 4 offers controlled aggression, a confident feel, and just the right amount of feedback.
