The grenade would need to be affected by it's velocity, lookVector, and magnitude.

Velocity for it's speed in a direction which I would assume to be the primary way of how a grenade is being thrown.

lookVector is the direction in a Vector3 value that the grenade would be facing. It would be a property of CFrame.

Magnitude to conclude the distance between A and B or grenade to target position.

If you want a grenade to throw towards the player's mouse, you would need mouse.Hit.p, the position of the mouse where it clicked.

You would most likely need a local script and server script communicating with a remote event since local scripts are the only scripts capable of accessing the player's mouse. It can send info to the remote server providing the function at the server script the mouse's clicked position.

If you want to make the best grenade possible, lots of math will be needed.
