Slagflaten kombinerer rå Toray T700-karbonfiber med glassfiberforsterkning; kjernen er helt i skum uten polypropylen-honeycomb. USA Pickleball oppgir EPP-skum, mens CRBN beskriver en egen høydensitetsblanding. Den nøyaktige polymerkjemien er ikke offentlig. Produsenttallene er gjennomsnitt, og uavhengige målinger gjelder ett eksemplar. Begge trengs fordi statisk vekt ikke alene forklarer svingvekten. CRBN oppgir 8,0 ± 0,2 oz (227 ± 6 g), balanse 246 mm, vridningsvekt 5,75 og svingvekt 118–120. Det uavhengige eksemplaret målte 8,24 oz (234 g), 24,6 cm, 6,0 og 123,25.

Glassfiberfeltet gir sentrum ekstra retur og hindrer en helt død respons. Samtidig kan et rent sentrumstreff gå raskere enn et treff rett ved siden av.

Ved fulle svinger returnerer fleks og glassfiber mer energi; kurven er svakt ikke-lineær, men under de heteste kraftpaddlene. CRBN markedsfører ingen innspillingsperiode. En langtidsammenligning mellom et godt brukt og et nytt, likt vektet eksemplar viste ingen dramatisk endring i kraft eller pop.

CRBN¹ produces a dense, satisfying response around the central fiberglass-reinforced zone, but the usable area narrows more quickly toward the sides and lower face than the premium price suggests. Independent twist-weight results around 5.6–6.0 are consistent with that behavior. Clean center contact receives good pace and direction; contact closer to the frame loses energy and can rotate the face.",

A current independent sample produced a 60.0 mph serve and a 38.3 mph punch volley, while another measurement set placed the shape high in its power distribution but lower in pop. That distinction matches the mechanics: the paddle rewards acceleration and body rotation, whereas compact contacts do not explode off the face like a dedicated high-pop power paddle. Overall, it sits in the all-court category rather than at either extreme.",

CRBN¹ produces a dense, satisfying response around the central fiberglass-reinforced zone, but the usable area narrows more quickly toward the sides and lower face than the premium price suggests. Independent twist-weight results around 5.6–6.0 are consistent with that behavior. Clean center contact receives good pace and direction; contact closer to the frame loses energy and can rotate the face."

A current independent sample produced a 60.0 mph serve and a 38.3 mph punch volley, while another measurement set placed the shape high in its power distribution but lower in pop. That distinction matches the mechanics: the paddle rewards acceleration and body rotation, whereas compact contacts do not explode off the face like a dedicated high-pop power paddle. Overall, it sits in the all-court category rather than at either extreme."
