About 
CRBN
Company Information
CRBN Pickleball was founded during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 by Garrett, who had recently lost his job. During this challenging time, Garrett discovered pickleball and quickly became passionate about the sport, dedicating hours each day to playing and improving his skills. As he progressed, he started competing in tournaments with his doubles partner, Ryan. After one of their matches, Ryan proposed the idea of creating their own paddles. They realized that, as avid players, they had a clear understanding of what they wanted and needed in a paddle and believed they could create something better than what was currently available. This idea led to the creation of CRBN Pickleball, where the focus is on designing paddles that meet the high standards and specific needs of serious players.
