Genomskärningar visar ett EPP-centrum med runda hål, en tunn EVA-skumring och en yttre EPP-ram som fortsätter till kanten och handtaget. EVA återfjädrar snabbare än tätare EPP. Det skapar pop i korta slag, medan den yttre ramen ska stödja träffytan. Barrage är varken bara en kraftigare Genesis eller en vanlig EVA-ring runt honeycomb. Träffytan är rå Toray T700-kolfiber och den gjutna konstruktionen har kolfiberförstärkt omkrets. NFC används för autentisering och registrering, inte för spelprestanda.",

Counters, speed-ups och punch volleys gynnas mest. Dinks och drops går att kontrollera men kräver lugnare hand än Genesis eller en mjuk 16 mm kontrollpaddel. Anpassningen handlar om dosering, inte om ett bevisat mekaniskt break-in. Kraften i full sving är hög men inte marknadsledande. Den större styrkan är lättillgänglig offensiv i korta slag tillsammans med mycket spinn.",

Svingvikt och vridvikt beskriver balansen mellan återhämtning och stabilitet bättre. Det oberoende exemplaret (7,99 oz (226,5 g), balans 24,2 cm) ligger nära tillverkarens mål.

The short-stroke result matters most: counters and punch volleys leave quickly, giving the widebody more offensive bite than its defensive-looking outline suggests. It is not the family’s longest-leverage drive paddle, and it does not match the absolute pace of the hardest current power models. Instead, it delivers accessible pop with fast recovery, making it particularly effective in doubles where compact acceleration matters more than maximum swing length.",

The short-stroke result matters most: counters and punch volleys leave quickly, giving the widebody more offensive bite than its defensive-looking outline suggests. It is not the family’s longest-leverage drive paddle, and it does not match the absolute pace of the hardest current power models. Instead, it delivers accessible pop with fast recovery, making it particularly effective in doubles where compact acceleration matters more than maximum swing length."
