CRBN Pickleball TruFoam Barrage 1 Elongated Paddle 14mm Thick — T700 Carbon Face, High Spin & Stability

This TruFoam Barrage 1 paddle pairs a raw T700 carbon fiber face with a responsive foam core and an aerodynamic elongated shape to deliver a performance-oriented tool for competitive pickleball. The design emphasizes spin generation, stable contact, and quick hand speed during fast exchanges, while the included neoprene cover protects your investment between sessions.

How does the paddle create more spin and shot-shaping control?

The Barrage 1 uses a textured T700 raw carbon fiber face engineered to increase friction on contact, helping experienced players impart topspin, slices, and controlled directional shots. The consistent surface and stiffness allow predictable ball response for deliberate shot crafting.

• Raw T700 carbon fiber face for enhanced bite and spin.
• Textured surface promotes controlled topspin and slice.
• Stiff face gives predictable ball rebound for precision placement.

What benefits come from the 14mm foam core construction?

The TruFoam core balances power and touch: it increases stability on hard drives, broadens the effective sweet spot, and dampens excessive vibration so you get clearer feedback on impact. This lets players attack with authority while still executing soft resets and dinks with control.

• 14mm foam core for a larger sweet spot and consistent response.
• Vibration reduction for cleaner feel on volleys and drives.
• Firm-but-responsive core supports both power and touch shots.

How does the elongated shape affect reach, speed, and court play?

The aerodynamic elongated profile extends reach for passing shots and defensive saves while maintaining a slim edge for fast wrist work at the kitchen line. Its balanced weight distribution helps advanced players keep rapid hand speed without sacrificing control on angled or deep returns.

• Elongated head increases reach for passing and baseline returns.
• Aerodynamic edges support faster hand speed and quicker reaction.
• Optimized balance for stable drives and quick net play.

Is this paddle competition-ready and what accessories are included?

The Barrage 1 meets USAP (+PBCoR 43) and UPA-A approval standards, making it suitable for high-level competitive play. Each paddle ships with a complimentary neoprene paddle cover to protect the face and edges during transport and storage.

• USAP (+PBCoR 43) and UPA-A approved for tournament use.
• Included neoprene cover for safe transport and protection.
• Designed for advanced playstyles: spin, power, and fast hands.

Who is this for? Advanced and competitive players who prioritize spin, precise shot placement, and quick reactions will benefit most from the CRBN TruFoam Barrage 1. If you regularly play high-speed rallies, seek a paddle that enhances spin generation and gives a stable, responsive feel on both aggressive drives and delicate touches, this paddle is engineered to support that style. Recreational players who prefer a softer, more forgiving response may find the Barrage 1 less cushioned than intermediate models.
