Summary
The GRUVN RAW-16H is an elongated paddle with a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core and a carbon fiber face. This combination may offer a balance of power and control. Weighing 7.9 oz with a 5.875-inch grip, it could suit players using a two-handed backhand. The longer grip may also provide additional reach. The swing weight of 121 is considered high and may provide more power, but could also reduce maneuverability for some. The 16mm core thickness is generally associated with more control-oriented paddles. The manufacturer suggests this paddle is suitable for advanced players. While the spin rating is moderate (5.9/10), the drive speed (4.3/10) and volley speed (4.1/10) ratings are lower. The twist weight rating is 3.7/10, indicating moderate torsional stability. The elongated shape could offer a larger sweet spot.
