THE GRIPPER-G16 Pickleball Paddle Blue Green Smile (Graphite)

GRIPPER-G16 Pickleball Paddle – 1.0 Joyful Control & Comfort

The GRIPPER-G16 Pickleball Paddle by GRÜVN is designed to bring joy, finesse, and comfort to your pickleball experience. With its eye-catching smiley face graphic, this wide-body graphite paddle blends playful style with elite functionality. Whether you’re a beginner or intermediate-level player, the GRIPPER-G16 offers a soft yet responsive touch thanks to its 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core and lightweight carbon/graphite face.

This paddle excels in quick net play, controlled dinks, and clever shot placement. The wide surface area ensures a large sweet spot, ideal for developing consistency, confidence, and strategy. Its UV sandpaper oil coating enhances ball contact for reliable spin and feedback with every stroke.

GRAPHITE PERFORMANCE + LIGHTWEIGHT FEEL

Unlike many heavier paddles on the market, the GRIPPER-G16 Pickleball Paddle maintains a comfortable average weight of ~220g, making it ideal for younger athletes, women, or recreational players seeking better manoeuvrability without sacrificing paddle feel or spin potential.

BUILT FOR COMFORT AND PRECISION

The paddle’s 3D perforated cushion grip with green underlay is designed for long rallies. The shorter handle (~4.75”) allows quick wrist movement and enhanced control, especially useful at the kitchen line and during hand battles.
