Mypickleball's note: We have consistently found that the Muvn 13S (swing weight = 99) and Muvn 16S (swing weight = 104) are two of the only paddles light enough not to cause pain or elbow-twinge during play for those with or at risk of tennis elbow. 16S has more control and absorption. 13S has more power which can assist players with tennis elbow not to over-exert or grip hard when hitting from the back.
You will receive an email after checkout requesting your grip thickness (S, M, L, XL). Grip thickness correlates to hand size or glove size - see photo. Call 0405 182 794 if you have any questions. We post all orders same day where possible so we will send a medium grip if we don't hear from you.
GRUVN's MUVN-16S (standard shape) is a high-performance, mid-weight pickleball paddle made for players who want optimal control, a very fast paddle that feels plush off the face, great power, and maximum spin. It features a premium T700 raw carbon fiber surface and a standard wide body shape, and is approved by USA Pickleball (USAPA) for tournament play. The combination of this paddle’s raw surface and 16mm core results in a strong, stable paddle with consistent and accurate shots and more control. This paddle has a swing weight of 104. If you want a fast paddle with great maneuverability, the MUVN-16S is it.
New Features for the MUVN series
• Thermoformed sealed edges increase stability
• Unibody construction provides a more durable paddle
• Foam injected walls around the edges and down through the handle increases the sweet spot and adds control
The wide body shape provides a large sweet spot (twist weight of 6.8) and room for error, and delivers stability and balance for all aspects of the game, including plays at the net and returning hard shots. The rounded top of the paddle face gives players an aerodynamic feel and great hand speed. Its 5.3” handle length is long enough for great two-handed swings and extended reaches across the court.
The MUVN-16S has a 16mm 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 a lot of control, has a lot of power (average serve speed of 54.3MPH), and a very high spin rate of 2002RPM. 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.
What is the difference in how the MUVN and RAW paddles play?
The biggest difference is that the MUVN paddles have a lot more pop. If you are a player looking for extra power, then the MUVN paddles are for you. It can be difficult for some players to switch to a thermoformed paddle because of the extra power they provide. If you prefer more control, then the RAW paddles would be better for you. Both provide great spin :)
