The CRBN⁴ TruFoam Genesis receives polarized reviews, with two reviewers calling it exceptional across power, control, and versatility, while another expresses skepticism about whether its groundbreaking foam-core technology delivers meaningful on-court advantages.

CRBN’s latest and greatest has been long awaited. Being teased and developed for 18 months, their TruFoam technology finds its first home in the Genesis lineup. It’s truly unique. And while it’s the first 100% foam core (not counting Gearbox’s ribbed core), the ground-breaking tech isn’t what you’d expect in today’s game.
