Austin's Take
Austin Hardy
Gruvn has built a following among players who want foam core softness without the price tag of the bigger brands. The Lazr series is their take on the all-court foam paddle — two shapes, both intentionally tuned for touch-first players.

Gruvn Lazr Review: All-Court Foam Core Paddles for Every Level
Gruvn has built a following among players who want foam core softness without the price tag of the bigger brands. The Lazr series is their take on the all-court foam paddle — two shapes, both intentionally tuned for touch-first players.

Lazr-16hd: Kitchen Specialist
The Lazr-16hd's SW of 107.07 is well into NVZ-specialist territory. It's quick, maneuverable, and soft off the face. Players who drop, reset, and dink for a living will feel right at home. Don't expect to overpower anyone with it — that's not what it's for.
Lazr-16x: Adding Range
The Elongated 16x brings the SW up to 110.58 while maintaining the same soft core feel. You get a bit more pop on drives and a longer reach without completely abandoning the kitchen-friendly characteristics of the 16hd. It's a genuinely good all-court option.
Verdict
The Gruvn Lazr series is a well-executed all-court line at an honest price. The 16hd is a kitchen specialist; the 16x is more versatile. Both are solid performers at $169. Use PLAYBOOK for 10% off.
