CRBN Barrage

The Barrage uses a 100% TruFoam floating core with a T700 raw carbon fiber face. Reviewers describe its foam construction as durable, stable, and more responsive than earlier CRBN foam paddles. The 8-ounce weight keeps it manageable, while the 16.5-inch length adds reach for drives and wide balls.

Its 14mm core favors a crisp, lively response rather than a muted feel. Reviews consistently highlight strong pop, spin, and a generous sweet spot, though one tester found more noticeable performance drop-off near the edges. The carbon-reinforced construction also helps with stability and durability. It is USAP approved.

Choose this paddle if you like taking aggressive swings from the baseline or speeding up exchanges at the kitchen. Reviewers find the Barrage powerful and spin-friendly, with quick counters and strong topspin on drives and rolls. The long shape gives you extra reach when defending or attacking from behind the baseline.

It is not only a power tool. Reviewers also describe a plush feel, useful dwell time, and controllable touch for drops and resets. Its pop-forward response may still feel lively during soft-game shots, so players who prefer a quiet, slow paddle should look elsewhere. Opinions differ on the exact balance between pop and dwell, but the overall character is clearly offensive.
