On-Court Performance
The Inferno 2 M1 carries Luzz's signature feel — a lively, responsive ball response that rewards aggressive play without punishing on touch shots. At SW 113.75, it's in the moderate-light range for elongated paddles, giving you enough hand speed for fast kitchen exchanges. The TW of 5.81 keeps the face from twisting on off-center contacts, which is critical for a narrower elongated shape. Drives had excellent pace and penetration, third-shot drops came off with a predictable arc, and dinking felt connected and confident. The M1 refinements to the original Inferno are subtle but meaningful — this is the version to buy.
