    Introducing the CRBN Pickleball Power Series: the perfect tool for elite players looking for more power.

    This performance pickleball paddle is crafted with the same durable, gritty carbon fiber face that you can expect from CRBN, with additional and unmatched power and pop.

    No expense was spared making this the best power-focused carbon fiber paddle on the market. The perfect balance of durability, touch, and power allow you to be even more aggressive on the courts.

    The elongated shape of the CRBN 3 is the same length as the CRBN 1 but with a shorter handle resulting in an extended paddle face. This signigicantly amplifies the sweet spot which will make hand battles a breeze as you will have more power and control during the quick and rapid shots.

    UNIBODY DESIGN

    Other brands attach their handle to a separate paddle face creating a weakjoint at the neck where the paddle can flex and eventually break. We utilize a unibody design with carbon fiber running from the face down through the handle which stiffens the paddle, makes it more responsive and durable, and provides a more ergonomic grip.

    FOAM INJECTED EDGE WALLS

    This paddle features injected foam running around the edges and down through the handle. This foam adds stability, eliminates vibration, and greatly expands the sweet spot leading to improved shot consistency no matter where you hit the ball.

    Dominate the competition and elevate your game with the CRBN Pickleball Power Series.

    Every CRBN Paddle comes with a FREE Neoprene Paddle Cover ($20 Value).

    What is the difference between CRBN Original Series and their Power Series

    ORIGINAL SERIES

    CRBN's original line of CRBN paddles, introduced in 2021, have quickly gained recognition in the pickleball industry for their exceptional spin, control, and overall playability. They feature T700 carbon fiber on the surface which outperforms surfaces of other materials. The T700 provides a soft and forgiving feel while also delivering ultimate spin and rate of deflection. The polypropylene cores of varying thicknesses sandwiched between the carbon fiber provide a great balance of power and control.

    If you're looking for the ultimate control in dinking and resetting balls, we recommend the Original Series of CRBN paddles. These paddles are favored by many of our pro athletes who prioritize a soft game over power.

    POWER SERIES

    CRBN's Power Series paddles offer the same shapes as our Original paddles, but with added technology to increase power and durability. These paddles feature foam-injected edge walls that run along the perimeter of the polypropylene core and handle. This edge foam increases the density and size of the sweet spot, while a layer of heat-sealed carbon fiber adds stiffness and strength to the paddle.

    While the Original paddles are known for their soft game, the Power Series is better suited for players who want more power at the expense of a small amount of control. While the Power Series is priced a bit higher due to the additional materials and technology it takes to produce, it doesn’t mean that it’s the best choice for all players or that it is better. It’s simply just different and each player will have their owner preference. Beginners or players who prioritize the soft game likely will prefer the Original Series, while those that prioritize power definitely will want to go to the Power Series. It’s all personal preference and we recommend catering to your own skills and play style.

    After playing with this paddle for 3 weeks I will say that my soft game has improved. My fast game(Drive shots) has also improved but only when I control my shot. If I just let the ball hit the paddle it's going out long. My review would be that it is a great paddle, but there is no "auto-pilot".
