Disclosure: Enhance sent me these paddles for testing. No payment, no editorial input. Using my affiliate link, I receive a commission that helps support the channel.

First Impressions

The Enhance Turbo comes in four variations - three shapes using EPP foam and one additional elongated version in MPP foam. After running all the usual lab tests and getting some weeks of rec games in with Eddie, the short version is: they just play really well.

The part that makes these especially interesting is the price. After code, these come in at $100. For that price, they're legitimately some of the best budget performance paddles on the market right now.

All four models are USP certified. Enhance includes a 14-day trial period and a one-year warranty - pretty generous for this price range.

Build & Construction

Core Materials - Two Types:

EPP (Expanded Polypropylene) - available in Elongated, Hybrid, and Widebody shapes
MPP (Microcellular Polypropylene) - currently Elongated only

All four are thermoformed full-foam designs. The core is EPP or MPP surrounded by an EVA foam border and an additional expanding edge foam layer around the entire perimeter. This is the same floating core architecture we're seeing across a lot of modern full-foam paddles.

Face Layup: CFC - carbon fiber, fiberglass, carbon fiber. The fiberglass layer introduces a bit of spring in the response, but it's surprisingly subtle compared to other CFC paddles.

EPP Turbo Elongated (Power + control balance)

Weight: 7.9 oz
Swing Weight: 117.23
Twist Weight: 6.27
Measurements: 16.54" x 7.48" x 16mm
Handle: 5.47"

EPP Turbo Hybrid (Long handle, extra whip)

Twist Weight: 6.71
Measurements: 16.22" x 7.68" x 16mm
Handle: 5.83" (6.5" usable)

EPP Turbo Widebody (Most forgiving, widest sweet spot)
Weight: 8.08 oz
Swing Weight: 110.04
Twist Weight: 7.18 Measurements: 15.98" x 7.91" x 16mm
Handle: 5.28"

MPP Turbo Elongated (My pick - closest to Luzz Inferno)
Weight: 7.9 oz
Swing Weight: 118.07
Twist Weight: 6.29 Measurements: 16.54" x 7.48" x 16mm
Handle: 5.39"

X-Ray Details:

Handle uses a traditional honeycomb polypropylene insert (allows manufacturers to compress for different grip circumferences)
Internal perimeter weighting: on the Elongated and Widebody it sits at 3 and 9 o'clock; on the Hybrid it's slightly lower at 8 and 4. Placed right against the inside of the edge guard to increase stability.
Surface texture: standard raw carbon fiber peel ply - not grit-infused or coated, the traditional industry standard

Hybrid Handle Note: The handle measures 5.8 inches, but the usable handle is actually closer to 6.5 inches - there's room above the grip wrap for a couple of extra fingers. If you're a two-backhand player who doesn't want fingers on the paddle back, this one's worth a look.

Performance Metrics

I've moved away from percentiles and switched to z-scores. Percentiles were becoming misleading as the paddle database grew larger. Z-scores use better math to make comparisons more accurate.

Each bar in the chart represents the distribution across hundreds of paddles; the diamond shows where this paddle lands.

Here is where each shape stacks up against the rest:

EPP Turbo Elongated

Power and pop both land solidly in the high category, with power slightly edging out pop. Spin is high, though sitting closer to the lower end of that range. Twist weight and swing weight are both medium, with balance point sitting right around medium too.

The takeaway: a high power paddle with good spin, average stability, and average maneuverability. A well-rounded elongated that does not lean too far in any one direction.

EPP Turbo Hybrid

Power and pop are essentially equal, both high. Spin again sits on the low end of high. Twist weight lands right on the boundary between medium and high, and swing weight and balance point fall at the low end of medium.

The result is a high power paddle with fair spin and above-average maneuverability. That long usable handle is the real story here - it gives you more whip than a standard elongated without giving up much else.

EPP Turbo Widebody

Pop slightly edges out power here, both high. Twist weight is firmly in the high category - exactly what you expect from a widebody. Swing weight and balance point sit near the boundary between low and medium, making this the most maneuverable paddle of the four.

High power, good spin, excellent stability, and a forgiving sweet spot. If you mis-hit a lot, this is the one.

MPP Turbo Elongated:

Pop slightly ahead of power, both high. Spin sits at the low end of high. Twist weight lands in the upper end of medium and swing weight and balance point are both in the higher end of medium. High power paddle with good spin, above-average stability, and average maneuverability.

The numbers look similar to the EPP Elongated on paper, but the MPP core makes it feel noticeably different in hand - more on that in the Sound and Feel section.

KewCOR Firepower Testing

All four paddles cluster between 0.416 and 0.419 - right in the middle of the high power category. That puts them right around paddles like the Luzz Inferno and the Honolulu J6CR.

Looking at the KewCOR maps across the paddle face, they all show fairly flat curves - very consistent rebound response across the hitting area.

EPP Elongated: Especially impressive. Almost completely flat, suggesting extremely consistent performance across the entire face.
MPP Elongated: Drops off slightly around the 5-6 inch region, but still a very respectable curve.

Overall these deliver a very consistent sweet spot response.

Sound & Feel

On the feel chart, all four land in Quadrant B - stiff and hollow. They're actually more hollow than stiff. Closest comparison: Breadandbutter Loco, though the Turbos feel slightly less stiff and a bit more hollow.

EP paddles: Fairly low, bassy tone with hollow resonance. MPP version: The bassiest of the four. Not quite as deep as the Luzz Inferno, but actually pretty close.

The fiberglass layer in the CFC layup is surprisingly restrained. On paddles like the Loco, that fiberglass layer really announces itself - here it's much more subtle. On the MPP Turbo, I almost didn't notice the fiberglass at all.

MPP vs EPP Feel: Beyond the stiff/soft dense/hollow chart, MPP has a certain crispness that isn't quite the same as stiffness. To me, it creates a more connected feel to the ball, probably related to vibration frequencies. I tend to prefer MPP's response over EPP, but the fiberglass spring preference is personal.

On-Court Testing

All four paddles have plenty of firepower. Drives come off with authority. Counters and flicks have punch. If you're not used to this much firepower, you will see the occasional pop-up or long ball - that's the power trade-off.

EPP Elongated: Very balanced between full-swing power and kitchen pop. Great sweet spot consistency.

EPP Hybrid: Most unique of the four. The extra-long handle gives you a lot of whip - you can snap through the ball with your wrist and generate surprising power. Note: the shorter face pushes the sweet spot upward, so you need to be comfortable contacting the ball higher on the face.

EPP Widebody: Least firepower of the four - specifically less plow-through on big drives and serves. But still has that pop. Most forgiving paddle in the lineup thanks to high twist weight and wide sweet spot.

MPP Elongated (My personal favorite): Plays very similarly to the Luzz Inferno. After a few hours I noticed some small differences - the fiberglass layer introduces a touch of spring that occasionally felt slightly less intuitive, and the Inferno has slightly more face consistency. But these differences are extremely subtle. Most players would have a very hard time telling them apart.

Modding the Paddle

I spent the most time with the EPP and MPP Elongated versions. For both, I added 3g tuning pods at 3 and 9 o'clock.

Results:

Swing weight → ~120
Twist weight → ~6.57
Sweet spot got slightly broader
More plow-through without sacrificing much maneuverability

Widebody: Same 3 and 9 weight setup, but place it slightly higher on the face to raise the balance point and add more drive power.

Hybrid: Opens the door for creative setups. Because of the extra-long handle, you could add weight along just the top of the paddle and essentially turn it into a bullwhip-style power paddle. Personally I'd stick with traditional 3&9, but the hybrid has real mod potential

Final Verdict

What you get:

High firepower, good spin, very solid sweet spots, multiple shapes to choose from, stiff-hollow feel that competitive players love today, and performance that genuinely rivals paddles costing two to three times as much.

✅ Pros:

Outstanding value at $100 (after code JOHNKEW)
KewCOR in the Luzz Inferno range - legitimately high-end performance
4 shapes to match your play style
Flat KewCOR curve = very consistent sweet spot
14-day trial + 1-year warranty
USP certified

❌ Cons:

MPP version only available in Elongated (no hybrid/widebody option yet)
Hybrid sweet spot pushed upward by shorter face - learning curve
CFC fiberglass spring may not suit players who prefer pure stiffness

My Pick:

MPP Turbo Elongated. It plays closest to the Luzz Inferno. The EPP Elongated is a strong second, reminding me of the VATC Visel Pro (though I'd give the Turbo a slight firepower edge).

Who It's For:

Budget-conscious players who want high-end performance
Luzz Inferno fans looking for a $100 alternative
Two-backhand players → EPP Hybrid (long usable handle)
Stability-first players → EPP Widebody (highest twist weight)
Power + control balance → EPP or MPP Elongated

At $120 retail or $100 with code JOHNKEW, this is one of the best performance-to-value propositions in pickleball right now.
