The 14mm Power Advantage
A 14mm core in a power paddle gives you a slightly crisper response than a 16mm foam core. The Barrage 1 Elongated at SW 117.97 generates significant pace while maintaining a livelier feel than softer foam alternatives. It's a different kind of power paddle — not dead and heavy, but snappy and decisive.
Barrage 2 Widebody
SW 108.77 and TW 6.88 make the Barrage 2 a solid widebody option with excellent stability and a large sweet spot. It's less of a power paddle in practice and more of an all-court option that benefits from CRBN's TruFoam construction quality.
Verdict
The CRBN TruFoam Barrage paddles are premium products worthy of their $279.99 price. The Barrage 1 Elongated is one of the most interesting power paddles on the market for its 14mm foam approach. Use PLAYBOOK for 15% off.
