The GRUVN LAZR-16S pickleball paddle is a high-performing all-court standard shape paddle with a carbon fiber and Kevlar blended surface. This thermoformed mid-weight paddle has plenty of power to go along with optimal control, durability, and maximum spin (2213 RPM!). It is USA Pickleball (USAPA) approved for tournament play. The LAZR-16S has more dwell time on the ball and is a solid, stable paddle with consistent and accurate shot making.
Newer Features:
- Thermoformed sealed edges increase stability.
- Unibody construction provides a more durable paddle.
- Foam injected walls on the edges and in the handle increase the sweet spot and control.
The paddle’s 16.5” length increases a player’s reach and the 5.5” handle length allows for powerful two-handed backhands. The rounded top of the paddle face gives players an aerodynamic feel and fast hand speed, and the ~8.0 ounce weight provides stability and balance for all aspects of the game, including dinks, volleys, and returning hard shots. The paddle has a swing weight of 117 and a twist weight of 6.38.
The LAZR-16X has a 16mm thick polypropylene honeycomb core, designed to react consistently to the force of impact and provide precise control, while also absorbing vibration and noise. Polypropylene is the most popular core among pickleball players.
This pickleball paddle comes with a zippered neoprene paddle cover with the GRÜVN logo to protect the pickleball paddle when not in play.
What is the difference between the LAZR, MUVN, and RAW paddles?
The biggest difference is that the LAZR and MUVN paddles have significantly more pop than the RAW paddles because they are thermoformed. If you are a player looking for extra power, the LAZR and MUVN paddles are for you. It may be difficult for some players to switch to a thermoformed paddle because of the extra power they provide. If you prefer more control, then the RAW paddles will be better for you. The LAZR and MUVN paddles have a pretty similar play, with the LAZR providing more pop and a bit more power and dwell time on the ball. The LAZR paddles add a different aesthetic to the surface with the red and blue blends for those who do not prefer the raw carbon fiber black surface.
