CRBN 1 TruFoam Barrage14mm (Elongated/Long Handle) Pickleball Paddle

The CRBN¹ TruFoam Barrage (Elongated, Long Handle) is a pickleball paddle designed for aggressive players seeking extended reach, two-handed stability and fast finishing power. It features an elongated head shape paired with a long handle, promoting leverage on drives and backhands. The 14mm TruFoam core delivers a crisp, responsive feel with consistent output, while the raw carbon fibre face enhances spin generation. With an approximate 8oz weight and head-heavy bias, it offers strong pop and penetration for attacking play styles.

Staff pro review: This is the most leverage-driven option in the Barrage line. The longer handle noticeably helps two-handed backhands and adds whip through contact, while the elongated face boosts reach at the net. The 14mm TruFoam core feels firm and lively, favouring counters and quick putaways over soft control. Best suited to intermediate to advanced players who dictate pace and prefer a more explosive response.

Faqs:

1. What advantage does the longer handle provide in this model?

The extended handle increases leverage on swings and comfortably accommodates two-handed backhands, improving control and power generation on aggressive shots.

2. How does the Barrage TruFoam core differ from traditional cores?

Unlike honeycomb cores, the TruFoam construction is a continuous foam core, designed to deliver more uniform response, improved durability and a more connected feel at impact.

3. Is this paddle suited to control-focused players?

It leans more towards power and fast exchanges. While spin is strong, players prioritising soft touch and reset play may prefer a thicker or more control-oriented model.
