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 8,1 ± 0,2 oz (230 ± 6 g), balanse 245 mm, vridningsvekt 6,21 og svingvekt 118–120. Det uavhengige eksemplaret målte 8,51 oz (241 g), 24,6 cm, 6,65 og 125,55.

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.
