Our take on the Tornazo
The full-foam core of the Luzz Pro 4 Tornazo provides a firm feel with great spin and power, although not as much power as the Luzz Pro 4 Inferno.
Is the Tornazo worth $229?
Yes. At $229 it sits in the high price range, and Luzz builds high-end power that rivals premium brand-name paddles for a fraction of the cost. You get a firm full-foam feel with great spin and power.
Who should buy the Tornazo?
Players who want a firm-feeling full-foam paddle with great spin and power but a little less pop than the Pro 4 Inferno. It suits budget-minded players shopping for power-to-value. Those who prefer a softer, more muted feel should pick the Inferno.
Buy it if
- You like a firm full-foam feel
- You want great spin and power
- You want strong power-to-value
- You want reach from an elongated power paddle
Skip it if
- You want a softer, muted feel
- You want maximum dwell time
- You want the most power in the Luzz line
How does the Tornazo play?
Power and spin are both high, but the response is firmer than the Pro 4 Inferno. The elongated shape and 118 swing weight add reach and mass behind drives, and you should expect less dwell than the softer, more muted Inferno.
What are the strengths and trade-offs of the Tornazo?
Its biggest edge is high spin and power for the money. The main cost is a firmer feel with a little less power than the Inferno.
Strengths
- Great spin from a full-foam core
- Power that rivals premium-brand paddles
- Elongated reach for serves and drives
- Firm, direct feel on contact
Trade-offs
- Slightly less power than the Inferno
- Firmer, less muted feel with less dwell
- Heavy at a 118 swing weight
- Elongated shape has a smaller sweet spot
