ArmorGrit Ordered
I couldn’t resist, especially after using the discount code KAILUAPB.
Unfortunately for Hawaii orders, there is a shipping cost of $15. But you could buy multiple paddles and still pay only $15.

The ArmorGrit Cometh…
The date is set for the release of Enhance’s Turbo MPP paddle with ArmorGrit. It’s the same great Turbo MPP but now with durable grit, and it will be available to order on Sunday, September 20, 2026 at 1 PM HST (4 PM PST).
Supposedly the same great play and feel of the Turbo MPP but with spin production that should be more consistent and predictable. Available in all three shapes. More details at:
Most importantly!! Don’t forget to use code KAILUAPB to drop the price to $99. Yes, even with the addition of durable grit, it’s the same cost as the original Turbo line.
Learning the Widebody
After primarily using elongated paddles (and one hybrid), I bought two widebody paddles to gauge the differences in shapes. Both from Enhance, I purchased the Turbo MPP and Duo. Overall, I’m liking the maneuverability of the widebodies. Movement doesn’t feel hinged or staccato – just continuous, harmonious motion.
While the length difference between an elongated and widebody doesn’t seem significant, I have missed a few shots while reaching out with a widebody, so I guess the difference is real.
In my opinion, the Duo feels more grabby and gritty than the Turbo, but the Turbo glides more easily for me. The static weight of the Turbo is slightly higher than the Duo, but I’m guessing the swing weight of the Turbo is less since in hand, the Turbo is easier to move.
All in all, both are solid paddles, but for the price and feel, I prefer the Turbo MPP widebody over the Duo widebody. But, I’m not yet ready to use wide bodies over elongated shapes.
If you’re interested in any Enhance pickleball paddle, use code KAILUAPB to get $20 off your total order.
Enhance Turbo Blackout
The popular Enhance Turbo MPP is releasing in a limited edition all black version. One production run only of these paddles in all three shapes.
Release date is Friday, July 17, 2026 at 1pm HST.
In stock (for now).
Ships immediately.
Discount code KAILUAPB knocks the price down $20.
Be ready.
I currently main the elongated and recently picked up a widebody. I may have to switch. The balance and maneuverability of the widebody is way better than the elongated. Sure, the reach is shorter but flicking with the widebody feels way more natural.
I think I need to compare both to a hybrid shape… all blacked out of course!
Upcoming from Enhance Pickleball
Yes, paddle lust is real, and no, I don’t need another pickleball paddle… but both you and I know that another paddle (or two) is in sight.
While I wouldn’t mind trying out Friday’s well received Aura and Aura Pro line, there are some interesting developments coming shortly from Enhance Pickleball. Yes, the same Enhance that makes the Turbo lineup that’s been growing in my play group. At $99 after code KAILUAPB, it’s hard to beat the price and performance value of any of the Turbos – MPP, EPP, wide, hybrid, and elongated.
I am reluctant to say that the Turbo MPP wide body is my new main after using the elongated version all this time. But after a few play sessions, the maneuverability and dexterity of this paddle can definitely be felt.
To keep pace with the meta of 2026 of durable grit, Enhance is about to revise the Turbo MPP line with ArmorGrit, its durable surface. Projected to remain at $99, the Turbo with a longer lasting surface is a no brainer… unless there was an exclusive color way of the current Turbos.
Back to paddle lust, a blacked out Enhance Turbo might be the next purchase. Even with no ArmorGrit, this limited edition version would be a fun one to customize.
A Very Popular Shape
Well, I can only assume this specific elongated shape is very popular with pickleball companies. I mean check out this profile overlay of the Enhance Turbo, Luzz Lab Tornazo 2, and Pickle Poppers Pop N Treasure.
Looking from above, can you see the other paddles underneath when stacked?
Enhance Turbo MPP Widebody Is Here!
I’m not a paddle reviewer, but yet here I am… again. This time with the Enhance Turbo MPP in the widebody shape. I’ve been main-ing the elongated version for some time, liking its pop, power, and overall easy performance. Majority of my paddles have been elongated, so I wanted to try something different.
Although both from Enhance and both MPP foam, the elongated and widebody sound completely different. The widebody hits with a lower bassy tone compared to the higher pitch of the elongated. The overall feel of the hits are similar, but the widebody doesn’t pack as much of a punch. The ball doesn’t seem to launch off the face like the elongated.
What I do like about the widebody is the weight distribution of this shape. While I’m still learning how to flick, the motion had always felt choppy when moving the paddle head from down to the finished flick position. But with the widebody, the motion feels more natural and smooth. I think practicing flicks with the widebody will develop that shot’s muscle memory faster. Then I can graduate that flick motion to an elongated paddle.
As a widebody, the paddle is shorter, and I mis-hit or even totally missed shots off to the side, so I have to get used to that shorter reach. But overall, I enjoyed the first play impression. It’s a Turbo MPP but also a different Turbo MPP.
If you’d like $20 off an Enhanced paddle, use code KailuaPB at checkout. This will reduce the cost of any Turbo paddle down to only $99 – a great price for a high performing paddle!
These Paddles Are the Same Shape?!?
I guess it never dawned upon me that there are only so many pickleball paddle shapes out there. So I was surprised when I compared my Enhanced Turbo MPP with my new Luzz (Lab) Tornado 2. These elongated paddles play very differently even though are the same exact shape! Yes, the same shape.
Here are pictures for comparison purposes. When side-by-side, you can’t even see the silhouette of the underside paddle. Maybe the curvature of the neck area is a tiny bit different? But otherwise, these paddle shapes are identical.
My First Luzz Lab Paddle
I mentioned the new Luzz Lab experimental concept previously but missed out on the big saving, crowd source tiers. Still though at $99, I decided to see how this Lab experience went and ordered a Tornazo 2 on March 19, 2026.
All paddles have to clear the crowd source minimums before going to production, and this paddle did that. On April 7, I got an email update saying that the paddle would not ship until June. I agreed with this timeline and was rewarded with small Luzz accessories as compensation.
The paddle arrived on June 15, 2026, and the Tornazo 2 product page describes the paddle as:
Built for players who want precision and feel in an elongated shape, the Luzz Tornazo 2 delivers a dense, grounded response that puts the ball exactly where you intend it. Longer dwell time, linear output, and just the right amount of stiffness make it the perfect weapon for surgical resets, buttery drops, wicked spin, and consistent drives.
So more of a control or all court paddle, not a power paddle. Honestly, I was frustrated playing with this paddle for only two games, changing back to my Enhance Turbo MPP. I definitely need more playing time to get a better feel, but to me, it does seem a little harder to rotate and turn the Tornazo. The denseness of the paddle does feel different, but that doesn’t seem to be a differentiator for me.
More to come!
Enhance Turbo MPP Hybrid Paddle Pic
Sorry to disappoint, but this post is just a picture of the new hybrid shape of the Enhance Turbo MPP. No review, no comparisons, just a pic of the paddle that arrived for a family member.
Hopefully, I can test it out later and compare this shape with the Enhance Turbo MPP elongated and widebody (not in hand yet).
The Enhance pickleball paddle line up now covers all bases in the MPP foam category. For $99 (with code KailuaPB), it’s hard to beat the value and performance.
Limited Play with the Luzz Cannon
I got to play one game with a Luzz Cannon compared to just hitting around with it previously. Yep, it’s definitely head heavy compared to the Enhance Turbo MPP or BnB Loco, and the plow through feeling is definitely there. The smaller handle does make the paddle seem more maneuverable, but I was late with the paddle face on several shots. The heavy head took a more noticeable effort to turn compared to the Turbo.
I can’t say I felt more connected with my shots with this Gen 3 paddle. It’s not a bad paddle for the low cost of $109, but I think I’ll stick with my Turbo MPP. I prefer the weight balance of the Turbo, and it is a tad cheaper (before shipping).
Although I do admit that I am a fan of the Luzz Lab concept, prototyping and crowdfunding experimental paddles. I managed to purchase the upcoming Tornazo 2 which is a different feel from what I’m used to but am curious about its control focused play style.
