Garrett Gosselin, the founder of CRBN Pickleball, turned his passion for pickleball into a business after being let go from his job during the COVID-19 outbreak in 2020. Obsessed with the sport, Garrett and his doubles partner designed their own paddles, which quickly gained popularity for their control, power, and sleek design. Realizing the potential, Garrett partnered with a childhood friend to start CRBN Pickleball, a company dedicated to creating high-performance paddles, driven by a love for the sport and a commitment to innovation.

The Mach 1 FORZA is at a good price point for a thermoformed paddle. If you prefer elongated, they've got the Mach 2 FORZA. These feel like similar paddles to the Six Zero DBD. Both great paddles & at similar price points.
