After a Perseus 3S and Hurache Power, a used TruFoam Genesis 1 brought back the plush feel they missed; drops, drives and serves feel heavenly.
“I missed the soft, plush, cushiony feel, and the TFG1 brought it back to me. My drops, drips, drives, and serves feel heavenly.”
Played much better with it and felt more control over their shots than with their old Ruby.
“I just got a CRBN TF 1 genesis and played much better with it.”
Tried their wife's in a match: powerful from the baseline with great feel on drops and at the net, after adding weight.
“Love how I can pound it from the baseline and shape it. Love the feel and nice touch on drops or smashing at the net.”
Snapped at the throat on an overhead after 4–5 months of gentle use; CRBN's warranty was fast.
“I swung on an overhead smash and when I started my swing I heard a crunch/tear before I made impact with the ball.”
Excellent control, good spin and plow, stiff face with little dwell and a high launch angle; rewards good technique.
“Control is still excellent and I do give it credit for having more power than my first impression from the paddle I’d previously played with.”
Six months in and loves it; its consistency helped their rating jump.
“I have been using TFG1 for about 6 months now. I absolutely love it. My game improved from a 3.17 to a 4.33”
Broke on a drive after four months of daily play.
“Paddle broke on a drive after 4 months, about 1.5 hours of daily play.”
Likes it, but dead spots around the edges make it hard to recommend.
“I have the TFG1 and while I like the paddle, the unforgiving nature of it (dead spots around the edges) makes it difficult to recommend.”
Liking it enough that they may swap their Pro IV for it.
“It’s my main right now, but I have been liking the CRBN1 Genesis so I may be swapping soon.”
Slightly smaller face than other elongated paddles and they often missed the sweet spot; took two months to get used to.
“It was known to have a smaller sweet spot but I thought it might make me better if I had to focus on it more”
