Summary

The CRBN TruFoam Genesis 2 is a standard-shaped paddle with a 14mm foam composite core and a carbon fiber face. Weighing 8 ounces with a 4.75-inch grip, it has a medium swing weight of 113. The 14mm core may provide a balance of power and control. Carbon fiber faces are often associated with control and feel. Its standard shape is generally considered versatile for various playing styles. The paddle's swing weight percentile (42nd) suggests it is relatively lighter than average, potentially benefiting maneuverability. The twist weight of 6.73, with a percentile of 76th, indicates above-average resistance to twisting. High spin (2136 RPM, 95th percentile), drive speed (56 MPH, 94th percentile), and volley speed (37 MPH, 98th percentile) ratings suggest this paddle may be suited for players prioritizing power and spin. While the lighter weight may enhance maneuverability, it could also limit power generation for some players. The shorter grip length may not be ideal for players using a two-handed backhand.
