Source: pickleballcentral.com (read 2026-09-21). PickleballCentral's live product page for the CRBN³ TruFoam Genesis (Elongated), fetched directly, gives an average weight of 8.25oz (8.1-8.4oz range), 16.5in x 7.5in dimensions, a 14mm (0.55in) 100%-foam 'TruFoam' core, a T700 raw carbon face with fiberglass, a 5.5in/4.125in ('4 1/8', Small) grip, USAP/UPA-A approved status, and a $279.99 price. A separate web search of crbnpickleball.com's own collection copy independently corroborates the 100%-foam TruFoam construction, the 14mm thickness across the family, and the $279.99 price for all four Genesis shapes, and cites a 2302 RPM / 60 MPH spin-and-speed figure specifically for the 'Genesis 1' (CRBN¹) variant; because that RPM figure was published for a different shape (CRBN¹, not the CRBN³ used here) and the two were not confirmed identical, spin_rpm is left null rather than assumed. crbnpickleball.com itself returned HTTP 429 to direct fetch attempts.
