The LUXX Control Air quickly became a player favorite, utilizing the innovations of the LABS Project 003 to serve players looking for the ultimate control paddle. 

This paddle went against the grain in the pickleball industry, focusing on amplifying control and precision versus pure power. The reviews backed up our observation – the majority of players wanted help keeping the ball in bounds, placing it strategically to orchestrate wins instead of relying on brute force. The LUXX Control Air did exactly that.

“I have only had [the paddle] about a week, but already have improved my play versus my old paddle. I have better control and I am hitting shots I didn’t make as often.” –Tim R. [Verified LUXX Control Air Buyer, 4.0]

At Selkirk, we’ve been ALL IN on pickleball for over a decade. That means we’re never complacent, so even though the LUXX Control Air is popular, we still wanted to find improvements.

One area of feedback from players about the previous version of the LUXX paddle was a desire for longer-lasting spin and a thought that “ultimate control” was at the expense of all power.

The LUXX Control Air with InfiniGrit takes the popularity of the player-friendly LUXX Control Air, but enhances it with additional spin durability and slightly more power.

The two main upgrades from the previous LUXX Control Air:

  1. 3x longer-lasting spin: The InfiniGrit Surface has triple the durability of raw carbon paddles with enhanced spin potential, allowing players to achieve up to 2,000 RPMs for more precise shots. 
  2. Ultimate control, but with more power: The 19mm X7 Thikset Honeycomb Core (1mm thinner than the prior version) and EVA foam in the throat and handle combine to produce additional power. Don’t worry, this additional power is not at the expense of any control.

Available in two paddle shapes.

Epic | Long Handle & Standard Paddle Shape: Pairing a traditional pickleball paddle shape with a large surface area and a long handle, the Epic delivers the perfect blend of power and control. Versatile and well-rounded, the Epic paddle shape is ideal for the beginner and the seasoned pro.

Invikta | Longer Handle & Longest Paddle Shape: Favored for its increased sweet spot size when compared to other elongated pickleball paddle shapes, the Invikta is popular with intermediate to pro players. With Invikta, you get the elongated shape, a large sweet spot, and an even longer handle that provides more power, more reach, and more spin.

Here’s how real users describe the LUXX experience:

  • "Control master" with a pillow-like feel

    “The Luxx is an insanely good control paddle… better for pure control.”
    “Feels like a pillow. Huge sweet spot and it’s so well balanced.”

  • Shape preference—Epic vs. Invikta
    Epic is praised for its control, but some prefer the Invikta for reach and power:

    “Epic… too wide… slows my swing speed. Invikta gives slightly more power.”

Competitive Comparisons

Paddle Strengths Trade-Offs
Selkirk LUXX Control Air Epic (InfiniGrit) Exceptional control, plush feel, longer-lasting spin Less pop; grit wears over time
Selkirk LUXX Control Air Invikta Greater reach, add‑on power, long handle for two‑handed play Larger swing arc—may impact speed
Six-Zero Double Black Diamond (DBD) More balanced, poppy, powerful baseline response Slightly less finesse in soft game
VATIC Prism Flash / Monarch Jellybean Excellent value, solid control, budget-friendly Not as plush or “pillow-like” feel
Volaire Mach 2 Forza Top-tier spin and control, great value Lacks the ultra-soft feedback of a LUXX
Diadem, Gearbox, Joola (various control models) Durable, resilient surface and edge design Feel/shape may differ from LUXX feel

Selkirk LUXX Control Air Epic with InfiniGrit — Where control meets next-level spin. This paddle blends plush, pillow-like feedback with the stability of an aerodynamic Epic frame, wrapped in InfiniGrit for three times longer-lasting spin. Whether you’re resetting pings at the kitchen or slicing baseline drop shots, the LUXX Epic delivers ultra-responsive precision without sacrificing feel. Compared to paddles like the DBD or Volaire Mach 2, it trades raw power for whisper-soft finesse. Yes, the grit wears over time—but Selkirk’s customer service and warranty have your back. Ideal for the control purist seeking evolving performance and consistency—just add your spin.
