THE LAUNCH-G Pickleball Paddle Blue Purple (Graphite)

GRUVN's The LAUNCH-G is a high-quality mid-weight graphite pickleball paddle that is approved by USA Pickleball (USAPA) for tournament play. It has a traditional widebody paddle shape with a long handle and a large surface area and has a stunning spiral design. This paddle has the perfect blend of power, outstanding touch and ball control. It has terrific balance with its longer handle that makes for great two-handed swings and extended reaches across the court, and it has a perfectly proportioned hitting area with a large sweet spot. This is a very versatile, all-around paddle that is great for competitive pickleball players who want to achieve precision control, as well as for beginners who want a high quality, standard widebody paddle to gain experience with.

The polypropylene honeycomb core paddles absorb vibration and noise. Many facilities and clubs ban loud paddles that include other core materials, so the Launch-G 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 graphite surface is very thin yet durable and powerful. Most competitive players prefer to use graphite paddles as they allow players to make use of their finesse and can be very technical. The Launch-G’s paddle surface has a textured UV sandpaper oil coating, adding a rough texture that helps with spin shots and increased control.

There are two types of grips available for this paddle. The 3D Premium Cushion Grip is a double-layer, two-color anti-slip hand grip, with an inner layer made of sweat-absorbing sponge and the outer layer made of PU (polyurethane leather) material with big air hole design. The Stitched Perforated Cushion Grip is also made of PU (polyurethane) leather with keel sewing thread. It is a very comfortable cushion grip, and perforated sweat absorbent.

This paddle also comes with a zippered neoprene cover with the GRÜVN logo to protect the pickleball paddle when not in play ($15 value!).
