Summary

The GRUVN LAZR-16S is a wide-body pickleball paddle with a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core, known for balancing power and control. The Kevlar and carbon fiber face is often associated with enhanced touch and durability. Weighing 8.1 ounces with a 5.35-inch grip, it falls into the midweight category. Its swing weight of 107 is considered low, potentially offering maneuverability. The 91st percentile twist weight rating suggests excellent stability on off-center hits. This paddle's spin rating is in the 87th percentile, indicating good spin potential. While its drive speed and volley speed are rated lower, in the 26th and 54th percentiles respectively, the 16mm core may still provide ample power. The LAZR-16S might be suitable for intermediate all-court players who prioritize control and spin, but also want some power. The wide-body shape could offer a larger sweet spot. Players seeking maximum power may find the drive speed and volley speed lower than preferred.
