About the TruFoam Waves
From CRBN
Power Comes In Waves
The CRBN TruFoam Waves is the bold new evolution of foam-core performance. Built with the same 100% TruFoam technology that made Genesis a game-changer, Waves takes things further with an all-new core design engineered for maximum power. It delivers explosive force on demand while keeping the control, dwell time, and spin that define the TruFoam family.
Whether you are an aggressive player who thrives on finishing points or someone who wants both touch and torque, Waves is designed to elevate your game.
What to Expect When First Trying Waves
From your first swings, you will feel the paddle’s plush, controlled response. Make no mistake, that feel doesn't come at the cost of force. As soon as you accelerate, the newly engineered Waves core releases stored energy like the strings of a tennis racket, unleashing serious put-away power.
The contrast is what makes Waves unique: effortless resets and precision at the net, paired with explosive drives that end rallies on your terms. Like Genesis, it may feel different at first, so give yourself time to unlock its full potential. Once you adjust, you will realize why Waves is unlike anything else.
Why Choose Waves?
Maxed-Out Power with Control
Waves is the most powerful paddle in the TruFoam lineup, but it is not raw power without direction. By redesigning the foam core structure specifically for Waves, CRBN created a paddle that pushes the boundaries of force while keeping touch intact.
Unmatched Durability and Consistency
Forget core crush and inconsistent break-in periods. Waves stays strong from day one and game after game. Its seamless, high-density foam core provides the same durability and consistency as Genesis, now optimized for heavy hitters.
Spin That Lasts
Waves leverages TruFoam’s longer dwell time to generate spin that feels natural and repeatable. Because the spin comes from the core rather than surface grit, your game stays sharp long after other paddles have worn down.
Simplified Thickness with Precision
No need to choose between 12, 14, or 16mm. Waves is engineered at 14mm to deliver a sweet spot of stability, power, and feel without compromise. TruFoam technology eliminates the old trade-offs of honeycomb paddles.
Premium Carbon and Fiberglass Face
The Waves paddle face uses CRBN’s signature T700 raw carbon fiber layup combined with fiberglass to handle the extra torque and impact that power players demand. Strength, spin, and precision are built into every shot.
The CRBN Advantage
CRBN Pickleball, based in Costa Mesa, California, is built by players for players. Waves represents the next step in our mission to push paddle technology forward. After hundreds of prototypes and an all-new core design, we created a paddle that does not just meet expectations, it redefines them.
