GRUVN RAW-16X Raw Carbon Fiber Pickleball Paddle (Green Edge Guard)

GRUVN's RAW-16X (eXtended shape) is a high-quality, mid-weight pickleball paddle featuring a premium T700 raw carbon fiber surface and an elongated shape. It 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.

Lots Of Spin!!
This paddle can provide a ton of spin! STS Pickleball's testing recorded an average spin rate of 2032 RPM. Pickleball Journey's testing recorded the average spin rate at a very high 2028 RPM and the average power at 54.9 MPH. If you want spin, this paddle is a top tier spin paddle.

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 long paddle length of 16.5” extends players’ reach and the 5.5” 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.

The GRUVN RAW-16X has a 16mm thick polypropylene honeycomb core designed to evenly react to the force of impact and provide precision control, while also absorbing vibration and noise. Many facilities and clubs ban loud paddles that include other core materials, so the RAW-16X is perfect for people who play in residential communities and in clubs and facilities that require quieter paddles. Polypropylene is the most popular core among pickleball players.
