Verdicts
CRBN TruFoam Genesis 1
The elongated Genesis is the heaviest, most leveraged paddle in the TruFoam line. Full foam replaces the honeycomb core entirely, which is why it holds a plush, long-dwell feel at a 14 mm thickness that would normally play stiff.
Selkirk Vanguard Power Air
Explosive acceleration and crisp feedback for players who create their own control. The air-dynamic throat cuts drag noticeably on fast swings.
