The Selkirk LUXX Control Air Epic pickleball paddle is the ultimate control paddle for balanced pickleball players. Endorsed by Jack Sock, the LUXX Control Air Epic brings you an expanded sweet spot, ample power, accelerated spin, and unequaled control. Whether you're a beginner or a tennis player looking to enhance your game, the Epic shape is an excellent choice for your pickleball paddle, offering a perfect blend of power, control, and precision. USAPA-approved.

For the past several years the central focus in the pickleball industry has been developing power pickleball paddles, leaving the control paddle sector massively underserved.

Selkirk recognizes that the majority of pickleball players are actually looking for the ultimate control paddle, and has spent countless hours researching, developing, and testing control paddles in order to give the community what they are looking for.

The result is the Selkirk Luxx Control Air pickleball paddle — the ultimate control paddle for balanced pickleball players and the answer to the neglected needs of all those who favor finesse over brute force.

This is for the tacticians, the players who seek to orchestrate wins with precision, and those who look to celebrate their relentless dedication to the game of Pickleball with every shot.

The Luxx Control Air finally speaks the language of the majority and delivers a paddle where control reigns supreme.

Combining industry-changing innovations with brand new paddle composition technology, the Luxx Control Air is designed with one goal in mind: to be the ultimate control paddle for balanced Pickleball players.

Building on the success of Selkirk Labs Project 003, the Luxx Control Air introduces transformative Florek Carbon Fiber technology to expand the sweet spot, amplify power play, and enable optimal performance on the court.

This new, lightweight polypropylene Florek Carbon Fiber composition, paired with Selkirk’s revered 20mm X7 Thikset Honeycomb core, proprietary 360° Proto Molding construction, and enhanced Aero-DuraEdge Edgeless technology achieves unequaled control, accelerated spin, and ample power, securing the Luxx Control Air’s position as the ultimate control paddle.

Florek Carbon Fiber: 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, 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.

ProSpin+ NextGen Texture: The refined ProSpin+ NextGen Micro Texture technology developed in Selkirk Labs provides a more durable spin surface, ensuring unparalleled consistency and precision in shaping and controlling the ball.

360° Proto Molding: Luxx Control Air’s 360° Proto Molding technology delivers exceptional power and a consistent feel on every hit thanks to its high-pressure manufacturing process.

Upgraded Aero-DuraEdge Edgeless Technology: The Luxx Control Air features an improved Aero-DuraEdge Edgeless technology, crafted from our specialty blend of impact-resistant composites and polymer, to ensure increased edge reliability during intense gameplay.

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 controlled playing experience.

Waited too long ...
Played with a SLK hybrid for 1.5 years and always had the Luxx Control Air Invicta on my radar as my next paddle upgrade. Finally purchased when the price came down, and I'm sorry I waited. I felt like progress stagnated with the SLK, but I'm making slow but steady progress with the LCA Invicta. Nothing earth shattering, but expecting to be transformed by a paddle upgrade is wishful thinking. I'm playing better, making progress and feeling better about my game.

Best Control Paddle I've Owned
I previously used the Diadem Warrior V1 & V2 paddles. It was a great paddle but since I've been using my Luxx Control Air-Invikta, it far exceeded my expectations. I'm so happy I purchased this paddle...I wasn't sure I wanted to make the investment because these paddles are pretty pricy but this paddle really enhanced my game. My serve has improved tremendously especially when it comes to power and spin. I've also been told that my topspin on my serves are so much harder to pick up--especially when put a lot of pace on it. I've also been told that when I use a slice backhand (I typically use a two hand topspin backhand), my opponents have a harder time clearing that shot. However, I notice that when I try to put away a high dink, there's this paddle doesn't give much of a pop like other paddles I've had in the past. For my game, though, I need more control than power so this really works for me. I notice that I can do better third-shots and topspin drives with this paddle. This paddle is also great at dinking. I come from an aggressive tennis background so this paddle really improved my game. If you're on the fence about investing in this paddle, I recommend it if you come from a tennis background and need more control than power in your game.

Love my Luxx Control Air
Have played with the SK Labs 003 with the 20 mm thickness for control. Could not locate another paddle that I liked better until discovering the Luxx Control Air. Same thickness with improved torsional stiffness while maintaining the control. Love the paddle surface and have noticed a strong improvement in spin.
