Paddle Features
Florek Carbon Fiber: Florek Carbon Fiber is Selkirks proprietary blend of carbon fibre that offers unmatched control and added power. This superior fibre composition also enables a larger sweet spot, guaranteeing optimal performance on every stroke.
X7 Thikset Honeycomb Core: The Luxx Control Air carries forward the innovative 20mm X7 Thikset honeycomb core from Labs 003, offering players even more power and control. The core’s maximum sweet spot is further enhanced by the honeycomb construction, which provides a more consistent feel on every shot.
Air Dynamic Throat: The refined Air Dynamic Throat in Luxx Control Air provides optimal airflow and enhanced ball control, ensuring a smooth, controlled gameplay experience.
ThroatFlex: The ThroatFlex open throat design maximizes flex upon ball contact, extends dwell time on the paddle, and enhances power play, providing unwavering consistency in every game.

FlexFoam Perimeter: 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: Our CM Anti-Torque Technology features an ideal core thickness and perfect mass placement, providing unmatched stability for an even smoother and more control playing experience.
Who is this paddle for?
The Luxx Control Air is a pickleball paddle designed for players who prioritise control and finesse in their gameplay, as opposed to relying on brute force. It caters to tacticians who seek precision and balanced pickleball performance.
Store Recommendation:
As the Luxx is a performance paddle with an edgeless design, we would highly recommend some edge protect tape as the edge can be prone to damage when dropped. We would recommend the 30mm for the Luxx but 20mm can also be used. Find it here.

Customer Reviews
Well where do I start, I would say this paddle feels miles better in terms of plush feel and control. I am using the Invicta bec of its extended handle coming from a tennis background. You can also generate a good amount of spin from its sprayed surface but I wouldn't class it as a power paddle. Its sweet spot is spot on but doesn't play well on slow ball hitting outside of the sweet spot as the ball tends to die straight away. The quality and make is top-notch but the durability is somewhat lacking particularly on the edge of the paddle where it flakes like mad. I would say this is great for Doubles but I would not use this for single where you need power from the baseline.
Great paddle and has really enhanced my performance. A joy to play with.
Definitely improved my games control and surprisingly has helped my tactics in a way I hadn’t expected. I don’t know if this is because of a new found confidence in my game but I am not starting as many premature fire fights as I used to ! :-)
The look isn’t great, I’ve had the paddle about 3 months now and the edges and surface are flaking not leaving a great look. It plays the same but this is disappointing and I hope it isn’t disqualified in league or competition play in the future as it was a little pricey. This photo is after a cleanup with a Selkirk rubber. The surface around the “S” area is easier to see when you zoom in.
Hope this helps you
Love the feel of this bat, duller sound and ability to spin more easily.
I have used this paddle for a few weeks now and have tested other paddle out there, nothing compares to this paddle in my opinion in overall performance. Particularly how comfortable and controllable this paddle feel when in the kitchen. It generates good spin from the baseline with decent power as well. What I don't like is how small the handle is, The grip feels slippery over time during the game. I also feel that this paddle gets damage quite easily or the paint flakes more quicker than other Selkirk paddles out there. Doesn't feel durable for its price otherwise would have been a perfect paddle for me.
