Luzz Pro 4 Inferno
Our take on the Pro-4 Inferno
As the name suggests, this paddle is hot. Its 100% foam core offers big power on serves, third-shot drives and putaways. Like many power-centric paddles, though, it will take time to get resets and dinks dialed in. This is a paddle that we think is good in the hands of a good player, but hard to control for lower-level players.
