GRUVN’s RAW-13H<\/strong>\u00a0(Hybrid shape) is a high-quality, mid-weight pickleball paddle featuring a premium T700 raw carbon fiber surface and a dynamic, hybrid shape.\u00a0It is approved by USA Pickleball (USAPA) for tournament play..\u00a0Raw carbon fiber paddles provide a grainy textured surface that allows for a lot of spin and enhances control. The combination of this paddle\u2019s raw surface and the 13mm core results in a strong, stable paddle with consistent and accurate shots and more control.<\/p>\n

The hybrid shape provides a familiar experience for those who play a lot of tennis and is a great choice for players who prefer a more racquet-like feel as opposed to more traditional pickleball paddles and shorter handles. It has a large sweet spot, and the long paddle length of 16.5\u201d extends players\u2019 reach and the 5.875\u201d handle length allows for powerful two-handed backhands. The slightly smaller surface width of 7.375\u201d 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.\u00a0The grip size is thinner than that of the RAW-16H, making it a great option for players who have smaller hands.<\/p>\n

The RAW-13H has a 13mm thick polypropylene honeycomb core designed to evenly react to the force of impact and provide precision control, while also absorbing vibration and noise.\u00a0\u00a0It provides more power than the 16mm as it is not as thick.\u00a0Many facilities and clubs ban loud paddles that include other core materials, so the RAW-13H 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

This paddle has a white edge guard and also comes with a zippered neoprene cover with the GR\u00dcVN logo to protect the pickleball paddle when not in play\u00a0($15 value!).<\/p>\n

What is the difference between the RAW-X ,RAW-H, and RAW-E elongated paddles?<\/strong>
\nThese paddles all have an overall paddle length of 16.5″ and a width of 7.375″, but the differences are the handle length and face length. The shorter the handle length, the longer the face. The RAW-H has the longest handle length at 5.875″, the RAW-E has the shortest handle length at 4.75″, and the RAW-X is in the middle with a handle length of 5.5″. The RAW-E has more\u00a0control, the RAW-H has more power, and the RAW-X is in between. The RAW-16H also has a slightly thicker handle because of its length. For players with small hands this may not be a good fit, although the RAW-13H paddle has a slightly thinner grip size than the RAW-16H (13mm core paddles have more power and a bit less control).<\/p>\n
