Pickle's Take
14mm core, T700 raw carbon fiber with fiberglass reinforcement face. Balanced touch and pop with no glaring weakness. Best for players looking for a do-it-all paddle without a sharp learning curve.

Where it sits
| Spec | TruFoam Genesis 2 | Position | Compared with (our database) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weight | 8.1 oz (midpoint of 7.9–8.3 oz) | heavier than 86% | 7 other 14–15 mm standard paddles |
| Length | 16 in | shorter than 67% (21% same) | 81 other 14–15 mm paddles |
| Handle length | 5.75 in | longer than 83% (15% same) | 81 other 14–15 mm paddles |
| Weight within CRBN | 8.1 oz | 2nd heaviest (tied) | 14 paddles from CRBN |
Too few paddles like it for a fair comparison (7 standard paddles at 14–15 mm), so it is compared with all 14–15 mm paddles.
