Keep an Eye on Luzz Lab

, , 0

I just learned about the “Luzz Lab” and seemingly was too late to capitalize. Luzz Pickleball is experimenting with new paddles and is crowdsourcing small production batches. If you are one of the first buyers/backers, you can get the paddle for free or at a deep discount (I’m a little confused about this part).

Paddles fall into three possible categories of:

  • Recreational
  • Tech
  • R&D

And from the first set of offerings, prices range between $99 and $179. So the goal is to be one of the first 50 buyers, getting discounts of  20%, 30%, or 50%.

Now, what’s the best way to know when new Luzz Lab paddles are released?

Got to Hit with a Luzz Cannon

, , 0

It was a short test run, but I got to hit with a new Luzz Cannon. This budget paddle is getting a lot of attention recently for its performance at the $109 price point.

The paddle feels head heavy and has a swing weight of 119.55. Even with an overgrip, the handle feels small-ish in my hands at 4.125 inches in circumference.

Swinging the Cannon reminded me of the CRBN 1X but a lighter version of it. There was definitely a feel of plow through with the heavy head and high-ish swing weight. The Cannon’s 119 swing weight is less than the 1X’s 123. The grip is smaller than the 1X (4.125 inches vs 4.25 inches) and that makes the Cannon feel more manueverable to me.

The paddle itself is all black, so I think it needs some pop of color with the easiest being a non-black overgrip. But at roughly $100, you can’t really complain about the Luzz Cannon and the performance you’ll get.

Should I get one? If the shipping to Hawaii were cheaper than $20+ then I would highly consider replacing my (used) CRBN 1X which I think is now core crushed.
