Certification note. UPA-A pulled every Luzz paddle on Mar 31, 2025; these cleared in May 2026. The Inferno2 M1 has been on the USAP list since Jun 25, though Luzz's own page calls the retail paddle UPA-A only. Sources disagree.
Status checked Sep 21, 2026. Lists change; confirm on the USAP and UPA-A lists before a tournament.

Construction per luzzpickleball.com ↗
Conflict on the flagship: the official USAP list shows 'Inferno2 M1 16mm' (added 2026-06-25), but Luzz's own page and Pickleball Effect describe the retail Inferno2 M1 as UPA-A only. Cannon2 M1 and Glider are stated dual-certified by Luzz. Glider 2026 is a Gen-3 polymer honeycomb paddle ($119), not foam; Luzz lists Inferno2 M1 swingweight 121±3 / twistweight 6.1±0.1.

MEASURED BY THE LABS
The register does not re-measure paddles or copy a lab's numbers wholesale. Power, pop and spin belong to the people with the radar guns; go read them.
FIELD REPORTS · AFTER YOU BUY IT
Reviewers measure a paddle new. Nobody measures it at hour sixty.
Loading field reports…
Keep a bag on Rally: log the hours you put on this paddle, when the grit fades, and when it goes dead. It stays on your device until you press "send a wear report", and the report carries no name.
