Pew! Pew! Pew! GRUVN’s new LAZR-16X Full Foam (elongated shape) is our new dual-density full foam core pickleball paddle. It is a high-performance paddle with a Kevlar-carbon fiber blend surface and a 16mm core. A great balance of stability, feel, controllable power, pop, and spin. It is USAP PBCoR 0.43 Certified for tournament play. DuPont™ and Kevlar® are trademarks or registered trademarks of affiliates of DuPont de Nemours, Inc.

Play Style
This paddle falls in the power category (mid to low-tier power). In the current market it is in about the 83% percentile for power and 70% pop, a great place to be! The dual-density foam core provides a comfortable foamy feel along with great stability. Many players comment how great it feels off the face and how well the paddle seems to grab the ball, allowing them to shape the ball more easily. The core combined with the Kevlar-carbon fiber surface provides a solid amount of power and pop and great spin (2178 RPM!)

Paddle Shape
The long paddle length of 16.5” extends players’ 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 the weight of ~8.0 ounces provides stability and balance for all aspects of the game, including plays at the net and returning hard shots. The paddle has a swing weight of 117 and a solid twist weight of 6.46. It has a 16mm thick full foam core designed to evenly react to the force of impact and provide precision control, while also absorbing vibration and noise.

Product Features:
• The dual-density foam core includes an EPP full foam core surrounded by softer EVA foam. There is a gap between EPP and EVA to prevent layers from separating over time.
• Edge foam starts at the neck and extends into the handle
• Thermoformed
• Handle is honeycomb polypropylene to keep the weight down
• Kevlar-carbon fiber surface provides a bit more pop and power than carbon fiber paddles

Benefits of a dual -density full-foam core: 
• Enhanced Durability: Full foam doesn't crush like honeycomb cores can, maintaining structural integrity and preventing performance breakdown over time.
• Larger Sweet Spot: Foam fills the core more consistently, eliminating dead spots and providing a predictable, reliable feel across the entire paddle face.
• Superior Control & Spin: Increased dwell time allows for better manipulation, leading to more spin and precise shot placement.
• Less Vibration & Arm Fatigue: The cushioning effect of foam absorbs shock, making it ideal for players with tennis elbow or wrist pain.
• Consistent Feel: Offers a more uniform feel and predictable response,
• Balance of Power & Control: The combination of EPP and EVA foam offer both power and touch.

How does the LAZR-16X Full Foam compare to other GRUVN paddles?
The LAZR Full Foam series has a bit more pop and power than our MUVN Full Foam paddles, and a bit more power than our polypropylene paddle series (LAZR, MUVN, CRUZN).  Our LAZR-16HD Solid Foam paddle has more power (it also has a different core). That paddle tested at PBCoR 0.44. The limit has since been reduced to 0.43, and that paddle model can be played in tournaments until May 1^st, 2026.

This model comes with two color options: red blend surface and blue blend surface.

Paddle Cover Included
A zippered neoprene cover with the GRÜVN logo to protect the pickleball paddle when not in play ($15 value!).

Paddle Cleaner Included
• Each Kevlar-carbon fiber and carbon fiber paddle comes with a GRUVN paddle cleaner, which is a stick of rubber that is 2.5” x 2” x 1” in size, This is not for graphite or composite paddles). Rub it on your paddle surface to keep it clean and also maximize the spin. It isn't pretty, but your paddle will be after using it :)

 ** PADDLE CARE – IMPORTANT **
Your paddle can become damaged from extreme temperatures. Extreme cold temperatures can cause the hitting surface to become brittle and crack. Extreme high temperatures can soften the hitting surface and can cause delamination. This occurs when the hitting surface separates from the core. Do not leave your paddle out in the sun on a hot day, be sure to cover it from the heat or it can be damaged. Do not leave your paddle in your vehicle during the summer or winter.

(Different computer monitors and mobile phones display colors differently, so the color of your paddle may vary slightly from the representation on your screen)
