CRBN TruFoam Waves 1 Pickleball Paddle
Overview
The CRBN TruFoam Waves marks a new step forward in foam-core design. Its dual-layer construction resists crushing and enhances stability, creating a more connected and forgiving feel across the entire face. On court, the response is immediate: controlled touch on softer shots, with quick access to power when the swing accelerates. Compared to the Genesis, the Waves offers slightly less dwell time, yet still lingers on the ball longer than traditional polymer cores, striking a rare balance of forgiveness, spin, and pop that holds steady over time.
The Waves 1 pairs this next-gen core with an elongated 16.5" x 7.35" frame and a 5.5" handle, delivering added leverage and reach. This design rewards players who generate offense from the baseline and rely on two-handed backhands, turning extra length into both power and court coverage.
Best for: Players who want maximum reach and leverage with a paddle that controls the ball on touch shots but unlocks explosive pace on full swings.
