CRBN² 16mm Power Series — Review
The CRBN² is the squared, widebody member of the Power Series, and it trades the elongated reach for a bigger, more stable face. The raw T700 carbon still delivers real pop, so fast swingers get pace without fighting the shape. It is built for players who want to hit harder and still keep the ball in the court.

What stood out
- Stable power. The widebody face adds pop while keeping mishits centered.
- Raw-carbon grip. The grit holds spin through long, sweaty sessions.
- Fair price. At $239 it undercuts most pro power builds.
What to weigh
- Less reach. The squared shape trades length for width, so net coverage is shorter.
- Control takes work. The pace means you manage depth more than with a soft control paddle.
Who it's for
If you swing fast and want power without paying pro prices, the CRBN² is an easy yes. Players who live at the kitchen line will still prefer a softer, more touch-oriented face.
Verdict
Best value power A stable, affordable power paddle that rewards a fast swing and keeps mishits playable.
