Verdicts
CRBN TruFoam Genesis 3
The hybrid sits between the other two Genesis shapes on every scored axis. If you cannot decide between reach and forgiveness, this is the shape that refuses to make you choose.
RPM Pickleball Jade Elongated 16mm
A spin- and touch-focused alternative to the Q2, not a universal upgrade. RPM lists a 112 swing weight and 6.2 twist weight. Our estimated DNA suggests a calmer soft game than the Q2, while the Q2 retains the stronger power/pop profile. Long-term SICmatrix grit retention has not been independently verified here.
