Crbn 1x vs delaminated Crbn 1x sound and power demo.

[@kenf2662]

CBRN updated their manufacturing of the new paddles. They are great

[@nickholman5190]

Can you show how fast you move if you shaved your head?

[@Loren-ee8ri]

My crbn 1x is delaminted and I actually like the extra power for serves and put aways but what I can't ignore is when I'm in hand battles. If someone hits one at me with some pace I am way more likely to hit the ball out with very little effort, sometimes even just holding my paddle still and it will richochet off the face crazy far. My wife has the 3x and I know it's a different paddle but we started switching and we both agreed mine was delaminated. (Left it in the car in winter time) I still play with it but now I'm using the 6.0 Ruby. It's alot softer feel so my control has been better but overall I wouldn't say it's better than a new crbn paddle but definitely more predictable than my delaminated paddle.

That’s not Ohio… O-H! Just got my crbn 1x 16mm on 3/27. Really hoping it lasts me a while before delaminating! Thanks for the video and comparison!

Another ounce of weight is basically apples to oranges.

[@JimAssalone]

Not sure what you mean but an ounce of extra weight is huge when it is being swung hard away from your body.

[@AMurderOfLobs]

@@JimAssalone That's what apples to oranges means (a difference so big that you cannot compare them)

[@jamesgordy880]

Why stand 3 feet behind the line? Does adding weight cause delaminaton to happen faster?

[@sonnynos]

I heard that adding weight makes it happen faster, but I'm not sure it's entirely true. I stand a few feet behind the baseline so I can swing hard not worry about the serve going out of bounds.

[@AMurderOfLobs]

@@sonnynos It also just happens regardless of temperature or added weight. So there's that. But while we're on the subject of weight...to put that much lead tape around the entirety of the paddle is a staggering modification. That amount of lead tape will definitely dampen your paddle, irrespective of delamination.

[@pamleslie3912]

Nice CRBN is "taking care" of your paddle, but for the rest of our paddles who have failed - well, sorry it's out of warranty is the response. Disappointed - looking for a non-CRBN paddle now. :(

[@sonnynos]

Did you buy it within the past 6 months. I bought direct from crbn.

[@JimAssalone]

Weighting to an extreme like you did causes the desalination process to speed up. Much more pressure on the paddle every time you connect with the ball on serves, overheads, and ground strokes.

[@kimleith1378]

@@123BV8 For sure about going EVA. Then if a paddle is still "too Fast' for people, adjust to ball composition. I drill off a ball machine and some old hard balls that will wreck my raw carbon paddles. I use a Gearbox or my Vice for that.

[@kimleith1378]

@@JimAssalone Can't understand Why "weighted" paddles are legal in tournament play???? 10.5 oz is a "Club" not a paddle.

[@JimAssalone]

@@kimleith1378 No rules on weight of paddle. You don’t necessarily play better with a heavier paddle. Player’s physical strength and swing speed determine how heavy your paddle should be for optimal play. Heavier the paddle the more cumbersome it can be to move around in extended play.

[@joes1973]

Can definitely tell a difference in the sound. Question, does it sound the same on both sides? And perform the same on both sides of the paddle? If I understand paddle delamination it is the paddle face coming loose from the material below it. If that hasn't happened on both sides, does the one side still play/sound normal? I am a paddle spinner, if one side played like a rocket and the other side normal, that would really mess up my game. I'm a Legacy paddle user, for about a month now, so far so good.

[@sonnynos]

Yes, the paddle sounds the same and performs the same on both sides. Also, there are no control issues! Which is crazy since delamination typically means less control. The sound is obvious though. The power is crazy.. It's hard to go to any paddle after using this. I have tried the Vice and this paddle destroys it. Crbn is sending me a new one soon, so I'll have to return it, but this paddle was a joy to play with..

[@jordannathaniel7604]

I’m buying a delaminated one no issues if your not going pro

[@plumbedout7282]

Scientific?

[@onelife5302]

That delaminated paddle sounds like a shot gun lol

[@jimzimmerman5288]

Your serves were better with the standard paddle.
