LUZZ Cannon XPP M1 Elongated 16mm verdict
A head-loaded offensive option with listed swing weight 122 ±3 despite a 7.93 oz average static weight. XPOP is designed for lively rebound; soft resets require touch. Estimated DNA is not proof of a measured power or spin win over Spitfire.
Six Zero Quartz Control verdict
A control build in the Double Black Diamond tradition, only lighter and quicker. Twist weight and sweet spot are the standouts; power is deliberately mid-pack.
The verdict
