Most likely Conflicting reports

Tanner wrote on April 2, 2026 that he was using a brand new CRBN Barrage, in the same issue that says CRBN had just released it, and his September 17, 2026 newsletter still calls the TruFoam Barrage his paddle. CRBN’s roster card naming the Genesis is undated, and the same roster lists the TruFoam Barrage for seven other players, so his card may not have been updated. Barrage shape and latest match use remain unverified.

Player-reported: Tanner’s own dated newsletter statements (April 2 and September 17, 2026), not an independent match sighting. Shape number, thickness and cosmetic are not stated; his April 2 line “I like the #2 shape best!” is a stated preference, not a use statement.

CRBN’s TruFoam Barrage line, sold as CRBN¹ to CRBN⁴ shapes. Shopping reference for a player whose Barrage number is not stated.
