Verdicts

CRBN TruFoam Genesis X

The elongated end of the TruFoam family. Full-foam construction keeps resets soft while the extra length adds the reach the Genesis 1 gives up.

Gearbox Pro Ultimate Elongated 16

Gearbox's rib-suspended SSTCore feels unlike any honeycomb paddle: firmer through contact, quieter on resets, and unusually consistent shot to shot. You pay $275 for that engineering.
