Pickleball paddles are getting more advanced every year, but every now and then, a brand releases something that makes us pause.
This season, it was the LUXE Signature Paddle—a high-end paddle designed for players who want both performance and style.
We’ve spent the past few weeks putting this paddle to the test, and we’re ready to share our full review.
First Impressions
The first thing we noticed is that this paddle looks good.
If you know the LUXE brand, you know it isn’t just about function—it’s about aesthetics, too. The clean, modern design and premium feel definitely make this paddle stand out from the crowd.
Whether you go with grey or blue, the paddle’s matte finish and minimalist branding give it a high-end look. We love that it doesn’t scream for attention but still feels premium in your hands.
But, of course, a paddle is more than just a pretty face. Let’s dive into performance.

Performance on the Court
Control & Spin
The carbon fiber face on this paddle is no joke.
If you like to put spin on your shots, you’ll appreciate how the raw Toray T700 surface grips the ball. Whether you’re slicing, rolling dinks over the net, or adding topspin to drives, this paddle definitely delivers.
Control is where we think the LUXE Signature really shines.
Drops and resets feel effortless, especially if you opt for the 16mm version, which has a slightly softer touch. We found that even under pressure it was easy to place the ball exactly where we wanted it, which we really appreciated.
Power & Pop
The LUXE Signature paddle has two thickness options—14mm and 16mm—and which one you choose depends on your playstyle.
- 14mm Paddle: If you like a fast-paced, aggressive game, this is your paddle. It has more pop, making it easier to put away shots with speed. Drives and counterattacks feel crisp and explosive.
- 16mm Paddle: If you prefer control and finesse, go with this one. It absorbs more shock, making resets and dinks more precise. Perfect for players who like to slow things down and out-maneuver opponents.
We tested both, and while we loved the 14mm for power, the 16mm gave us a confidence boost at the kitchen line. If you’re an all-around player, the 16mm might be the better choice—but if you love attacking, go for the 14mm.
More Room for Error
One of the biggest frustrations with some paddles is inconsistency when hitting off-center. LUXE has solved this with foam-filled edges, which expands the sweet spot and reduces mishits.
Even when we didn’t strike the ball perfectly, the paddle still gave us a solid response. It’s forgiving without sacrificing precision—ideal for players looking to improve their game without frustration.
Lightweight Yet Stable
At ~7.8 oz, the LUXE Signature hits that sweet spot between power and maneuverability. It’s light enough for quick hands at the net but doesn’t feel flimsy. The 5.5-inch handle gives extra reach, which we really appreciated when stretching for volleys.
The paddle’s 4.6-inch grip circumference is comfortable even during long sessions. We didn’t experience any slipping or discomfort, which is a big plus for players who sweat (or who just play a lot!).
Built to Last
LUXE has used a thermoformed unibody design, meaning the paddle is built as one solid piece rather than glued together. This makes it more durable and prevents weak spots where other paddles might break over time.
We put it through intense gameplay, smashes, and even a few accidental paddle clashes and it held up beautifully.
If you’re investing in a high-end paddle, durability is obviously key, and LUXE delivers with this one.

Who Is the LUXE Signature Paddle For?
LUXE markets this paddle for beginners to professionals, and we agree that it can work for all skill levels.
- Beginners will appreciate the larger sweet spot and control-friendly design.
- Intermediate players will love the balance of power and finesse.
- Advanced players will benefit from the spin potential, durability, and precision.
If you’re someone who enjoys a controlled, strategic game with the option to attack, this paddle is for you. If you only want raw power, you might want something heavier—but for all-around performance, the LUXE Signature is hard to beat.
Final Verdict: Is It Worth the Price?
At around $200, the LUXE Signature sits in the high-end paddle category, competing with top brands like JOOLA and CRBN. So, is it worth it?
We think so. Here’s why:
✅ Premium build quality (thermoformed unibody, carbon fiber face, foam-filled edges)
✅ Choice of power (14mm) or control (16mm)
✅ Massive sweet spot for more consistent shots
✅ Spin-friendly surface for extra shot control
✅ Sleek, modern design that stands out
Final Score: 9.5/10
We rarely hand out scores this high, but the LUXE Signature earned it. If you’re looking for a high-end
