Summary
The CRBN TruFoam Genesis 3 is an elongated paddle with a 14mm foam composite core and a carbon fiber face. Its listed weight is 8 ounces with a 5.25-inch grip. The manufacturer specifies a swing weight of 124, placing it in the high range. This, combined with the elongated shape, may appeal to players seeking more power and reach. The carbon fiber face is often associated with control and feel. The 14mm core thickness may contribute to a balance of power and control, though potentially less control than thicker cores. The high swing weight could be challenging for players with slower swing speeds. The shorter grip length may not be ideal for players who prefer two-handed backhands. The paddle's high spin (2170 RPM), drive speed (56.5 MPH), and volley speed (36.3 MPH) ratings, along with high power and pop percentiles, suggest it is geared towards players who prioritize aggressive play. The moderate twist weight (6.34) may offer decent stability.
