Specs checked against CRBN's official product page on Sep 25, 2026. CRBN publishes 8.0 oz ± 0.2 and a 118–120 swing weight; we store 8.0 oz and the swing-weight midpoint. CRBN describes Barrage as a new core architecture distinct from Genesis and Waves, and lists it as USA Pickleball and UPA-A (the pro tour standard) approved. Manufacturers change specs and prices; the brand page is the source of truth.
