Yu Na Kim.

My vote goes to joannie. She has a true lutz and it has been very consistent lately.

Same here. I saw her 3lutz very close at Skate Canada and there was hardly any preparation going into her lutz. She just sprang up to the air and they were big. What really set Joannie apart from other skaters was preparation time into jumps. Most other skaters got very close to the board before takeoff and almost ran out of space.

Definitely Yuna. The distance she covers with her Lutz is near incredible and her outside edge is so deep that I actually fear for her ankle when she takes off!

I love Yuna's beautiful 3Lz.

Michelle Kwan. The first time she ever tried it she did it perfect.

Denise Beillman should be given credit for being one of the early ones. Not "the best" but worth including on the list IMO

Go figure that the bots put Yu-Na at the top of this poll. She's consistent, but I wouldn't consider her lutz to be the best ever.

My top 3 Lutzes:
1. Ye-Bin Mok - If any lady could've seriously worked on a quad Lutz, it'd be her. She got so much height because she jumps up before pulling in her rotations instead of trying to wrench her upper body around on takeoff.
2. Nancy Kerrigan - IMO she probably had the most secure Lutz edge of any of the ladies. That outside edge was so solid that she could do a shoot-the-duck into a double Lutz.
3. Tatiana Malinina - I once saw her Lutz live and omg it was HUGE!!! My only reason for not placing her first is that at times it seemed almost uncontrolled. However, if I were to teach a casual spectator the difference between a flip and Lutz, she's probably the easiest example to observe.
