(eXtended shape) by GRUVN is a high-performance, all-court long-stroke paddle with a Kevlar-carbon fiber composite surface. This thermoformed, mid-weight paddle has enough power combined with optimal control, durability, and maximum spin (2,214 rpm!). It is approved by USA Pickleball (USAPA) for tournament play. The LAZR-16X has a longer dwell time and is a solid, stable paddle for consistent, accurate shots. This model comes in two color options: red composite and blue composite. DuPont™ and Kevlar® are trademarks or registered trademarks of DuPont de Nemours, Inc. Newer Features:
• Thermoformed closed edges for added stability
• One-piece construction for more durability
• Foam-injected walls around the edges and down through the handle for increased sweet spot and control
The 16.5” long paddle length extends the player’s reach and the 5.5” handle length allows for powerful backhands with either hand. The rounded top of the paddle face gives the player great aerodynamic feel and hand speed, and the ~8.0 ounce weight provides stability and balance for all aspects of the game, including net play and powerful returns. The paddle has a swingweight of 117 and a solid twistweight of 6.38.
The LAZR-16X features a 16mm thick polypropylene honeycomb core designed to respond evenly to impact and provide precise control while absorbing vibration and noise. Polypropylene is the most popular core among pickleball players.

This racket has a white and red blend guard and also comes with a zippered neoprene cover with the GRÜVN logo to protect the pickleball racket when not in play (worth $15!).

What are the differences in how the LAZR, MUVN, and RAW rackets play?
The biggest difference is that the LAZR and MUVN rackets have more rebound than the RAW rackets because they are thermoformed. If you are a player looking for more power, the LAZR and MUVN rackets are for you. Some players may find it difficult to switch to thermoformed rackets because they offer more power. If you prefer more control, the RAW racket will be better suited for you. The LAZR and MUVN rackets play quite similarly, with the LAZR offering more rebound and a little more power and dwell time. The LAZR racquet offers a different aesthetic to the surface with a red and blue mix for those who don't like the raw black carbon fiber surface.
