GRUVN's THE ROUNDER-G16 is a high-quality, mid-weight graphite pickleball paddle that is approved by USA Pickleball (USAPA) for tournament play. It has a widebody paddle face with a rounded oval shape, similar to a tennis racquet, providing a larger hitting surface, and has a gorgeous design on the paddle face. This paddle has a great combination of power, outstanding touch and ball control. Its 5.25” handle length makes for great two-handed swings and extended reaches across the court, and the paddle has a large sweet spot. The Rounder-G16 provides precision control and is a great choice for any level of player, from experienced pro players to beginners looking for a high-quality widebody paddle.
The Rounder-G16 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 Rounder-G16 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.
The graphite surface is very thin yet durable and powerful. Most competitive players prefer to use graphite paddles as they allow players to make use of their finesse and can be very technical. The Rounder-G16’s paddle surface has a textured UV sandpaper oil coating, adding a rough texture that helps with spin shots and increased control.
The 3D perforated cushion grip is made of double-layer two-color hand grips. The inner layer is made of sweat-absorbing sponge and the outer layer is made of PU material and uses big air hole design. The grip is very comfortable and the anti-slip and sweat-absorbing effect is of the highest quality.
This paddle also comes with a zippered neoprene cover with the GRÜVN logo to protect the pickleball paddle when not in play ($15 value!).
