It doesn't have to have a larger blast radius as it's a different type of explosion. Shaw can't tank having himself pulled into a singularity. If anything the grenades are implosive and not explosive. There's nothing to tank. He'll simply get yanked into wherever those grenades take you...and be in extreme pain along the way.
What a shame Shaw has to fall to a damn nade.
It's freakin sad. His kinetic absorption ain't doing anything to a black hole.
Was it clarified that the nades were mini black holes????
Kurse is a freakin beast with them. I can't see 99% of comic film characters surviving him now unless they can simply speed blitz or contain the stupid thing.
He could just as easily absorb all the energy trying to pull him in as it could suck him in. Really no way of knowing. My money is on his powers doing what it is supposed to do, absorb and energize him.
Shaw would die in space cos he seemingly needs to breathe, as temperature extremes (heat at least) and radiation don't seem to bother him at all.

Not sure about that. IMO I think energy needs to be directed at Shaw specifically and not the environment for him to absorb it... otherwise he should just be able to absorb gravity and keep himself powered up all the time.
Seems his power level depends on the level of energy he's absorbing. Why the kinetic energy of his feet hitting the ground doesn't make him super-human on a daily basis. While absorbing the energy from many bullets and an RPG allow him to explodes a large room and balcony, or his attempt to absorb enough nuclear energy to turn himself into a nuclear bomb, which he would have survived after going boom.
The dark elf bomb would be directed at him though in this scenario, if that's your concern.

Do we have an example of Shaw ever absorbing a "pull" type of force? I know he absorbs impact and pushing forces easily, just thinking that the blackhole grenade is more of a "pull" and I don't remember if he ever absorbed something similar.
Say, I know he can absorb the energy of someone punching him. But would he absorb the energy of someone grabbing his shirt and pulling him?

Don't recall him ever being pulled, just his comment about "absorbing energy" which was pretty blanketed.
