The LUZZ Cannon XPP M1 Elongated 16mm is a 16 mm elongated pickleball paddle weighing 7.93 oz, with a Carbon fiber with green silicon-carbide grit face, listed around $179.
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.

Paddle DNA Verdict
Last updated: October 2026
Derived from our published scoring model and sourced paddle specifications.
Should you buy the Cannon XPP M1 Elongated 16mm?
The LUZZ Cannon XPP M1 Elongated 16mm scores 82.1/100 on our IQ index, built from all 15 Paddle DNA traits. Its signature is pop (92/100, 97th percentile of the database — elite — top-tier), backed by power at 93 and plow through at 91. The 16 mm XPOP modified foam core and Carbon fiber with green silicon-carbide grit face at 7.93 oz make it a pace-first paddle: you win points by ending them.
Where it gives ground is control (78) and maneuverability (68). With a 122 kg·cm² swing weight and a 5.52 in handle it suits intermediate/advanced/pro players, two-handed backhands, baseline drives and counterpunching. Skip it if your weakest phase is speed-ups at the net.
Closest paddles by DNA: Gearbox GX2 Power Elongated ($250), Legacy Pickleball Pro XS 16 ($230), 11SIX24 Vantage Power 16 ($200). If budget matters, the Vatic Pro V-Sol Pro 16 lands within 4 IQ points for $80 less. Overall: a below-average overall score in the database — only worth it if its one standout trait is exactly what you need.

Cannon XPP M1 Elongated 16mm — frequently asked questions
- Is the LUZZ Cannon XPP M1 Elongated 16mm good for beginners?
- Not our first recommendation. Forgiveness sits at 80/100 and the paddle is tuned for intermediate/advanced/pro play. A developing player is better served by something more forgiving and cheaper — see our beginner shortlist.
- Is the LUZZ Cannon XPP M1 Elongated 16mm worth the price?
- At $179 it sits in the 40th percentile of the database for cost and the 33rd for IQ score. If those numbers do not line up for you, the Spartus Spitfire Standard/Widebody 16mm at $109.99 is the value alternative we point people to.
- How does the Cannon XPP M1 Elongated 16mm compare to the GX2 Power Elongated?
- They are close on DNA. The Cannon XPP M1 Elongated 16mm reads power 93 / control 78 / spin 88 against 93 / 83 / 86 for the GX2 Power Elongated, at $179 versus $250. Our full head-to-head breaks down every trait.
- Is the 16 mm better than the 14 mm version?
- A 16 mm core has longer dwell time, which is what produces softer resets and more repeatable placement. The 14 mm build trades that dwell for a faster, poppier response off the face. Control players take 16 mm; players who want the ball gone quickly take 14 mm.
- Is the LUZZ Cannon XPP M1 Elongated 16mm approved for tournament play?
- Sanctioned play requires the model to appear on USA Pickleball's official approved-equipment list. LUZZ submits its retail models for approval, but approval is per model and configuration, so check the current USAP list for the exact Cannon XPP M1 Elongated 16mm build before you enter a sanctioned event. We do not list approval status we have not verified.
- Does the Cannon XPP M1 Elongated 16mm have good spin?
- Spin scores 88/100 — the 36th percentile of our database (below the database average) — off a Carbon fiber with green silicon-carbide grit face. Spin is not this paddle's strength — several paddles in the same price band score meaningfully higher.
- Is the Cannon XPP M1 Elongated 16mm head heavy?
- Swing weight is 122 kg·cm² and twist weight 6.3. That is on the heavy side of the database — you get plow-through and stability, and pay for it in hand speed at the net. Static weight is 7.93 oz.
- Does the Cannon XPP M1 Elongated 16mm benefit from lead tape?
- It already swings at 122 kg·cm², so adding weight at 12 o'clock will make it sluggish. If you customise, keep it to a few grams at 3 and 9 o'clock for stability. Any added weight can affect tournament legality if it changes the paddle beyond the approved configuration.
- What is the best overgrip for the Cannon XPP M1 Elongated 16mm?
- The stock handle is 5.52 in long with a 4.13 in circumference. A thin tacky overgrip adds roughly 1/16 in of circumference and a few grams above the balance point — the cheapest way to fine-tune fit. If your hand is larger than the 4.13 in stock size, build up with an under-wrap first rather than stacking overgrips.
- What should I replace the Cannon XPP M1 Elongated 16mm with when it wears out?
- Face wear shows up as lost spin long before the core dies. The straight replacement is another Cannon XPP M1 Elongated 16mm; if you want to change something, the JOOLA Perseus Pro V 16 adds control (96 vs 78).
- Who is the Cannon XPP M1 Elongated 16mm best for?
- Aggressive players comfortable with higher swing inertia. Skill levels we would put on it: intermediate, advanced, pro. Handle length of 5.52 in supports a two-handed backhand.
- What shape and size is the Cannon XPP M1 Elongated 16mm?
- elongated shape, 16.54 in long by 7.48 in wide, 16 mm XPOP modified foam core, Carbon fiber with green silicon-carbide grit face, 7.93 oz. Released 2026.
- Is the Cannon XPP M1 Elongated 16mm good for two-handed backhands?
- Yes — the 5.52 in handle gives your top hand a full grip rather than riding the throat.
- How does PickleballLookup score the Cannon XPP M1 Elongated 16mm?
- The IQ score of 82.1 is a weighted composite of the 15 Paddle DNA traits, normalized across every paddle in the database so the number means the same thing on any page. Performance traits carry the most weight; descriptive traits like swing weight carry none. Full methodology is published.
