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.",

Med 8,0 ± 0,2 oz (227 ± 6 g) angiven medelvikt och 241 mm balanspunkt räcker statisk vikt inte för att förutsäga handtempo. Svingvikt och vridvikt beskriver balansen mellan återhämtning och stabilitet bättre. Det oberoende exemplaret (7,94 oz (225,2 g), balans 24,3 cm) ligger nära tillverkarens 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."
