The Selkirk LUXX Control Air Invikta pickleball paddle is the ultimate control paddle for balanced pickleball players. Endorsed by Jack Sock, the LUXX Control Air Invikta brings you an expanded sweet spot, ample power, accelerated spin, and unequaled control. Designed for players seeking consistency without compromising power, the Invikta shape has a long handle and longest face of the Selkirk pickleball paddles, and is best for tennis players and other aggressive pickleball players who want extra reach, spin, and power. USA Pickleball-approved.

For the past several years the central focus in the pickleball industry has been developing power 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.

Love this paddle!

I have tried other paddles but keep coming back to Selkirk. And once I played with the Invikta, I’ll never use another paddle again! Top notch quality and the best customer service around.

LUXX Control Air Invikta

My new paddle has improved my game. I am a former tennis player and new to pickleball and the extra reach has kept me from face planting into the net/court several times. It has helped my volleying as well.

Pickleball Paddle Shape Guide

S2

Epic

Invikta

S2

The most control and precision

Ideal for pickleball players who want the most control potential. This shape is also great for players coming over from a table tennis background because it most closely resembles a ping pong paddle.

Epic

Versatile and balanced

Ideal for beginners to seasoned pros, and tennis players transitioning to pickleball. Some players prefer this shape, while others who don’t have a preference opt for it as a way to continue learning their preferences.

Invikta

Extend your reach and create more power

Ideal for intermediate to pro players who have an aggressive play style, like more room for a two-handed grip, and want more reach.
