CRBN TruFoam Barrage 3 14mm vs Selkirk SLK Geo Elongated
Two elongated paddles, side by side. Specs are the published figures; prices are what US stores charged at our latest check, shipping included.
What actually separates them
- The cores are built differently: CRBN TruFoam Barrage 3 14mm is full foam, Selkirk SLK Geo Elongated is honeycomb. That is usually the difference you feel first on contact.
- Selkirk SLK Geo Elongated has the longer handle (5.8 in against 5.5 in), which matters if you hit two-handed backhands.
- Grip sizes differ: CRBN TruFoam Barrage 3 14mm is 4.125 in around, Selkirk SLK Geo Elongated 4.25 in. An overgrip adds size; nothing takes it away.
