LUZZ Minions Cannon T700 Carbon Pickleball Paddle
This is the paddle that put Luzz back on the map — the Cannon — wearing full Minions mischief. Same T700 raw carbon friction face, same 16mm thermoformed build that has reviewers calling it the budget answer to paddles twice its price. The banana-yellow treatment is limited, the power is not. And yes, it ships in a legit Minions-themed gift box.
Tournament legal, verified: the current-gen Cannon platform is approved by both USA Pickleball (USAP) and the UPA-A — it appears on both official equipment lists under the model name PRO-CANNON (PBCoR .43). Look for the USAP seal stamped right on the face. Legal for PPA, APP, MLP, and USAP-sanctioned play.
Best For
Players who want real, measurable power without a $250 price tag — bangers, drive-heavy singles players, and anyone building a speed-up game. Also the single easiest gift in pickleball: a certified tournament paddle that happens to come in a Minions box.
Skill Level
Developing beginners through advanced. The Cannon rewards players who already find the middle of the face — its sweet spot runs a touch tighter than soft control paddles, so brand-new players who want maximum forgiveness may be happier on the Luzz Glider 2026. If you have a few months of court time and want more pop, this is the move.
Why Players Like It
- Big-paddle pop at a small price. Multiple independent reviewers — The Dink, John Kew, Pickleball Effect — have compared the Cannon platform favorably to the JOOLA Perseus Pro IV, a paddle that costs roughly twice as much.
- Real spin. The ultra-fine waterfall texture on the T700 raw carbon face grabs the ball hard — independent testing puts it in the 2,200+ RPM range (see Performance Notes below).
- Thermoformed stability. Unibody construction with 3K carbon edge reinforcement keeps the face solid through firefights and off-center hits.
- Nobody else at your courts has one. Limited licensed edition — the graphics live on the edge and the packaging, so the hitting surface stays all business.
- The unboxing. Premium Minions-themed gift box in the deal — birthdays and holidays, handled.

Performance Notes
Numbers below are third-party lab data measured on the Cannon platform (independent testing by Matt's Pickleball), not manufacturer claims:
- Serve speed ~59–61 MPH — the Pro-Cannon tested into the 92nd percentile, alongside premium power paddles.
- Spin ~2,200–2,300 RPM — genuine raw-carbon bite for rolls, dips, and heavy topspin drives.
- Above-average firepower and control scores in the same testing, with a measured twist weight of 6.6.
On court that translates to a paddle that swings with plow-through and stability rather than whippy hand speed. Drives and overheads jump; counters stay solid. The trade: reviewers note the sweet spot runs tighter than plush control paddles, so mishits off the bottom third get punished more than on something like the Glider.

Technology
T700 Raw Carbon Friction Face
Aerospace-grade carbon with an ultra-fine waterfall texture for maximum ball bite and spin that lasts.
Thermoformed Unibody
Face, core, and edge fused under heat and pressure into one rigid structure — more energy return, less flex, no rattly edge guard feel.
PP Honeycomb + Enlarged Foam Core
The 16mm polypropylene honeycomb is ringed with expanded foam that stores and releases energy — the cannon in Cannon.
3K Carbon Edge Reinforcement
Protects the foam perimeter from dents and keeps the face stable on off-center contact.
Anti-Slip Cooling Grip
3D micro-porous grip channels sweat away and adds shock absorption for direct ball feedback.
FAQs
Is this legal for tournaments?
Yes. The current-generation Cannon platform is on both the USA Pickleball approved equipment list and the UPA-A approved paddle list under the model name PRO-CANNON (PBCoR .43) — legal for USAP-sanctioned events plus PPA, APP, and MLP play. The face carries the USAP approval seal.
Is this a real paddle or a novelty?
100% real. It's the same certified, thermoformed T700 Cannon that reviewers stack up against the JOOLA Perseus Pro IV — the Minions treatment is a licensed graphics-and-packaging edition, not a toy.
What comes in the box?
The paddle in premium Minions-themed gift box packaging — genuinely gift-ready, no wrapping skills required.
Is 16mm right for me?
16mm is the do-everything thickness: enough mass for stability and putaway power, enough cushion for the soft game. Thinner paddles hit harder but shake more; this one stays planted.
How limited is it?
We have 3. Licensed editions come and go with licensing windows — if you're on the fence, don't sleep on it.
