Luzz M1 Cannon Panda / Minion / Candy Pickleball Paddle

Overview

Summary

Luzz has taken its powerful Cannon2 M1 platform and wrapped it in some of the most recognisable artwork in popular culture. The Kung Fu Panda, Minions and Candy editions share the same hardware as the standard Cannon2 M1, so you get the same strengths with a lot more personality. Collectors, younger players and anyone who wants a paddle that stands out will find something to like.

Underneath the graphics, this is a paddle for intermediate to professional players who want strong, uncompromising power. The most significant technology is the Aero-9966 surface coating, which forms a durable armour layer on the carbon and soaks into the fibres to reinforce the bond with the core. That helps prevent wear, keeps friction levels high and maintains consistent spin for much longer than an untreated surface.

MOI Perimeter Stability adds dense weights on both sides of the frame to widen the sweet spot and reduce twisting, so shots stay accurate even on off-centre contact and when blocking hard volleys. A reinforced core and the Aero-9966 wrap are also intended to keep the paddle stiff over time, avoiding the gradual softening that can make older paddles feel dull.

Every Cannon2 M1 is dual certified by UPA-A and USAP, so a paddle with a cartoon design is still legal in PPA, APP and MLP events.

Strengths

• Durable surface. Aero-9966 resists wear and keeps spin consistent.
• Wide sweet spot. Edge weighting stabilises mishits.
• Consistent stiffness. A reinforced core resists softening.
• Dual certification. Legal for major competitions.
• Fun designs. Panda, Minions and Candy editions are great for gifting and collecting.

Weaknesses

• Character editions cost a little more. Listed at about USD 129 compared with USD 119 for the plain colourway.
• Firm, power-oriented feel. Not as soft as foam control paddles.
• Design popularity. Some editions sell out quickly.

Who it is for

Care and buying tips

Printed character artwork looks best when the paddle is kept in a cover and wiped gently, so avoid abrasive pads on the painted areas. If you are stocking several editions, record the artwork, thickness and batch on each order so customers get exactly what they chose, since the three designs sell at different speeds. Gift buyers should also ask whether a box or cover is included.
