The Selkirk LUXX Control Air pickleball paddle is the ultimate control paddle for balanced pickleball players. The LUXX Control Air 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. 

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.
