Description
GRUVN's RAW-16H (Hybrid shape) is a high-quality, mid-weight pickleball paddle featuring a premium T700 raw carbon fiber surface and a dynamic, hybrid shape that is approved by USA Pickleball (USAPA) for tournament play. Raw carbon fiber paddles provide a grainy textured surface that allows for a lot of spin and enhances control. The combination of this paddle’s raw surface and the thick 16mm core results in a strong, stable paddle with consistent and accurate shots and more control.
The hybrid shape provides a familiar experience for those who play a lot of tennis and is a great choice for players who prefer a more racquet-like feel as opposed to more traditional pickleball paddles and shorter handles. It has a large sweet spot, and the long paddle length of 16.5” extends players’ reach and the 5.875” handle length allows for powerful two-handed backhands. The slightly smaller surface width of 7.375” gives players an aerodynamic feel and great hand speed, and the weight of ~7.9 ounces provides stability and balance for all aspects of the game, including plays at the net and returning hard shots.
This paddle also comes with a zippered neoprene cover with the GRÜVN logo to protect the pickleball paddle when not in play ($15 value!).
