CRBN TruFoam Waves 3 Pickleball Paddle
Overview
The CRBN TruFoam Waves marks a new step forward in foam-core design. Its dual-layer construction resists crushing and enhances stability, creating a more connected and forgiving feel across the entire face. On court, the response is immediate: controlled touch on softer shots, with quick access to power when the swing accelerates. Compared to the Genesis, the Waves offers slightly less dwell time, yet still lingers on the ball longer than traditional polymer cores, striking a rare balance of forgiveness, spin, and pop that holds steady over time.
The Waves 3 extends into a 16.5" x 7.5" elongated frame with a 5.25" handle that blends reach with shorter handle than the Waves 1. This slimmer shape provides coverage for counters and drives while keeping reaction time sharp, making it a dynamic choice for players who want both length and speed in their paddle.
Best for: Players who want extended reach without sacrificing fast hands, and a core that adapts seamlessly between controlled touch and attacking power.
