Why “solid/full foam” matters
Nanaimo Pickleball Evolved Bonus: A free 30-minute coaching session with every paddle.
Unlike traditional polypropylene honeycomb cores, the LAZR 16HD uses a 16 mm solid foam core designed for stability, lively power, and durability, while reducing ‘core crush’ issues seen in some thermoformed honeycomb paddles. Players get that fast ball release for counters and speed-ups without giving up the ability to block and reset.
Whether you want to improve your rec game, or grinding league nights in Nanaimo or jumping into your first ladder, the GRUVN LAZR 16HD Solid Foam delivers serious pop with a forgiving feel.
Who will love this paddle?
Players in Nanaimo who want a power-leaning, lively paddle that still blocks and resets comfortably—especially intermediate and advanced players who counter hard drives and hand-battle at the kitchen. GRUVN positions the Solid Foam series as more powerful than the original LAZR line and built for advanced play.
