Selkirk LUXX Control Air Invikta 19mm Pickleball Paddle

About This Item

Introducing the new and improved LUXX Control Air pickleball paddle, now with InfiniGrit Surface Technology for 3x longer-lasting spin than raw carbon paddles. It’s the same ultimate control players know and love from the LUXX paddle, but with more spin, more power (without sacrificing control), and updated aerodynamic performance.

FEATURES & TECHNOLOGY:

  • InfiniGrit Surface for 3x Spin Durability Over Raw Carbon Fiber: The InfiniGrit Surface technology triples the durability of traditional embossed epoxy peel-ply texture raw carbon surfaces while significantly enhancing spin potential, allowing players to achieve up to 2,000 RPMs for more precise and controlled shots. This advanced surface ensures consistent performance and a competitive edge, even during extended play
  • EVA Foam Handle and Throat for Less Vibrations and More Flex: Updated from the previous LUXX Control Air (which had a hollow handle), the injected EVA foam in the throat and handle dampen vibrations from impact, while providing more flexibility for increased power
  • Florek Carbon Fiber for More Control: Florek Carbon Fiber is our proprietary blend of carbon fiber that offers unmatched control and added power. This superior fiber composition also enables a larger sweet spot, ensuring optimal performance on every stroke
  • X7 Thikset Honeycomb Core for Maximum Sweet Spot: The innovative 19mm X7 Thikset Honeycomb Core offers players even more control and power. The core’s maximum sweet spot is further enhanced by the honeycomb construction, which provides a more consistent feel on every shot.
  • 360° Proto Molding for Power and Consistency: LUXX Control Air with InfiniGrit’s 360° Proto Molding technology delivers exceptional power and a consistent feel on every hit thanks to its high-pressure manufacturing process
  • Aero-DuraEdge Edgeless Technology for Durability and Maneuverability : The Aero-DuraEdge Edgeless technology, crafted from our specialty blend of impact-resistant composites and polymer, ensures increased edge reliability during intense gameplay
  • FlexFoam Perimeter to Add Weight and Enlarge the Sweet Spot: Originally developed in Selkirk LABS in the 002 paddle, FlexFoam Perimeter technology injects a specially formulated foam across the paddle's entire perimeter to increase durability, add weight, enlarge the sweet spot, and absorb vibrations from every hit
  • CM Anti-Torque Technology for Added Stability : Our CM Anti-Torque Technology features an ideal core thickness and mass placement, helping to avoid twisting on off-center shots for a smoother playing experience
  • Updated Wing Design Air Dynamic Throat for Quicker Swing Speed: Developed in Selkirk LABS during Project 002 and further optimized for Project 007, the Air Dynamic Throat features an updated wing design that enhances airflow, enabling faster swing speeds and improved ball control. This fine-tuned design maximizes flex, allowing players to generate power while maintaining precise shot placement

Trouble Dinking

Love the paddle for power and control. Having trouble finding the "soft spot" for dinking. I have found the infinigrit to be helpful.

Dissapontedwith Vanguard Infinigrit

I didn’t like the feel and it had a dead spot on the top part of paddle. I returned it and I am waiting for my return. I also wasn’t happy that within a few days of buying the paddle,it went on sale for 200. Once I receive my return I likely purchase the same paddle I have now.—-amped control pro air invitation

Great control & spin. Perfect weight for my ability

Not Worth It

It's OK, but not worth the high price. Also makes a funky sound when hitting the ball.

Handle

The handle grips really well but I think the pure white color is not good because in a short time it starts to look dirty

My Favorite

Selkirk knocked it out of the park with this paddle. I didn't think Selkirk could improve on the LUXX, but they did. Same great control with more spin. Can't wait to see just how long this paddle will last. My old LUXX is still playable, so I'm very optimistic.

Great Paddle

Probably one of the better paddles I’ve used so far. The new LUXX model has improved from the previous LUXX generation with both control and power. Great paddle.

Great Control Paddle.

Love the feel of these Luxx Control Air paddles. This is my second one, and the new InfiniGrit surface adds even more spin to my groundstrokes. Have decided to stick with Selkirk for all my pickleball needs.

Luxx Paddle

I found that the paddle is for a more powerful advance player that wants more spin and slice

Not A Labs Project 003

I purchased this paddle with the assumption it would perform like my Selkirk Labs Project 003 (its predecessor). My style of play comes from my tennis background and the 003 performed perfectly. My grit has worn off significantly and I was needing a replacement. I purchased the Luxx Control Air with InfiniGrit and it plays more like a power paddle. Yes I get the spin I need, but most of my shots go much longer than with my previous paddle. My rating is based off the control aspect of the paddle. It doesn't cradle the ball the way the Labs paddle did, which results in a longer shot. Not saying buyer beware, but I am saying that your play needs to be more dialed in. The good part of this paddle is that I can still place my shot where I want but it just took some time to navigate the pop. TL;DR Great paddle, just too powerful.

More Spin And Better Placement.

Grit has added a new dimension to my game, drops and drives have more control with ease of placement.

I Liked It.

It is excellent as a control racket. I can control my game very accurate and also it’s powerful by the way and the ball grits in a very nice way

Luxx Control

Great paddle. Lots of control. Power is OK, but like the control more.

Outstanding Paddle

Love this paddle! The spin and control are amazing. Still plenty of power but I can’t say enough about how much I love this paddle.
