GRUVN's RAW-13R (Round shape) is a high-quality, mid-weight pickleball paddle featuring a premium T700 raw carbon fiber surface and a rounded oval shape, similar to a tennis racquet, providing a larger hitting surface.  It is approved by USA Pickleball (USAPA) for tournament play. Raw carbon fiber paddles provide a grainy textured surface that allows for a lot of spin and enhances control. The combination of this paddle’s raw surface and 13mm core results in a strong, stable paddle with consistent and accurate shots and more control.

This is the closest paddle to a table tennis racket on the market. It is a 'fast hands' paddle, as it allows you to position the paddle quickly, has all the power you need to put pressure on an opponent, and solid control with a huge sweet spot. 

The RAW-13R has a weight of ~7.9 ounces to provide stability and balance for all aspects of the game, including plays at the net and returning hard shots, and its 5.25” handle length is long enough for great two-handed swings and extended reaches across the court. 

The RAW-13R 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. It provides more power than the 16mm as it is not as thick. Many facilities and clubs ban loud paddles that include other core materials, so the RAW-13R 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 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.
