CRBN beskriver vægt, balance og inertital som gennemsnit eller estimater. Enkeltprodukter kan afvige, og de officielle tal er ikke garanterede tolerancer.

Gennemskæringer viser et EPP-center med runde hulrum, en tynd EVA-skumring og en ydre EPP-ramme, der fortsætter til kanten og håndtaget. EVA springer hurtigere tilbage end tættere EPP. Det skaber pop i korte slag, mens den ydre ramme skal støtte slagfladen. Barrage er hverken blot en kraftigere Genesis eller en almindelig EVA-ring omkring honeycomb. Slagfladen er rå Toray T700-kulfiber, og den støbte konstruktion har kulfiberforstærket omkreds. NFC bruges til autentificering og registrering, ikke til spilleegenskaber.",

Ved lav fart føles træffet tæt og fast; med mere acceleration eller indkommende tempo bliver EVA-zonen tydeligt mere reaktiv. Counters, speed-ups og punch volleys får størst udbytte. Dinks og drops kan kontrolleres, men kræver en roligere hånd end Genesis eller en blød 16 mm kontrolpaddle. Tilvænningen handler om dosering, ikke om et dokumenteret mekanisk break-in. Kraften i fuldt sving er høj uden at være markedsledende. Den vigtigste styrke er let tilgængelig offensiv i korte slag sammen med meget spin.",

Med 8,0 ± 0,2 oz (227 ± 6 g) oplyst gennemsnitsvægt og 241 mm balancepunkt siger statisk vægt alene ikke nok om håndhastighed. Swing weight og twist weight beskriver forholdet mellem retur og stabilitet bedre. Det uafhængige eksemplar (7,94 oz (225,2 g), balance 24,3 cm) ligger tæt på producentens mål.

Its 6.65 twist weight provides normal stability, while the curved hybrid outline removes some material from the upper corners compared with CRBN²’s square face.

It does not change the physical response: edge contact remains firmer and less energetic, and hard incoming pace can twist the paddle more than CRBN²."

The combination is effective because the paddle accelerates quickly and returns to ready position just as quickly. It is particularly good for speed-ups, backhand counters, roll volleys, and transition attacks. The hybrid lever adds enough drive pace for all-court play without the slow recovery of CRBN³."
