Luzz Pro 4 Inferno 16mm Pickleball Paddle Review
MATT'S VERDICT
The Inferno takes the foam-core route but feels closer to a Gen-3 response than most foam paddles: more feedback and livelier than the typical muted character foam cores carry. Serve speeds land in the 92nd percentile with punch volleys hitting the 50th percentile, giving you enough pop to stay offensive at the kitchen without feeling uncontrollable.
