Standard Shape - CRBN TruFoam Genesis 2 - $279.99

I used the CRBN TruFoam Genesis 2 as our standard-shape baseline in this episode, because standard is where a lot of players start when they want a balanced, familiar footprint. It’s a great reference point when you’re comparing how hybrid and elongated shapes change reach and feel.

Pros

+Balanced, familiar standard shape for a wide range of players
+Great baseline paddle for comparing other shapes

Cons

-Less reach than an elongated shape
-Not as much built-in length leverage as longer paddles
