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.

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.
