wide body
The GRUVN MUVN-16S is a wide-body pickleball paddle with a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core, known for balancing power and control. The carbon fiber face is often associated with control and feel. Weighing 8 ounces, it falls into the midweight category, potentially offering maneuverability and power. Its 5.3-inch grip may be suitable for most players but might not be ideal for those preferring longer grips for two-handed backhands. The swing weight of 104 is considered low, suggesting ease of swing.
With a spin rating of 6.7/10 and a twist weight rating of 6.5/10, this paddle may offer decent spin potential and good stability on off-center hits. The drive speed and volley speed ratings are 5.8/10 and 5.8/10, respectively. The high twist weight percentile (86th) further suggests good resistance to twisting.
This paddle might be suitable for intermediate all-court players seeking a balance of power, control, and spin. The wide-body shape could provide a larger sweet spot. However, players seeking maximum power or a very head-heavy feel might find this paddle less suitable due to its midweight and low swing weight.
