💰 $179-$199 ⚖️ 7.8-8.2 oz 📐 Standard 📊 2 reviews

CRBN's mid-range 2X brings thermoformed construction to a wider price bracket. 16mm core for a softer, more control-oriented feel than the 1X.

Pros

Natural feel at kitchen
Great for all-court players
Raw carbon texture bites

Power hitters will want 1X
Slightly heavier feel

"For most recreational and club players, the 2X might actually be the better CRBN. The extra control at the kitchen is real."
