Selkirk Luxx Model Review: Ultimate Control

2/13/2025

The Best Pickleball Paddle for Ultimate Control. Paddle Level Intermediate to Advance.

The Selkirk LUXX Control Air paddle is designed for players who value precision and feel, offering a unique combination of power and control. With its lightweight construction and soft polymer core, it provides excellent maneuverability, allowing for quick adjustments during play. The textured face enhances spin, and the paddle's larger sweet spot ensures consistency on every shot. It's a great choice for players who want a balanced paddle that excels in both control and power.

We’ve found that block volleys are more manageable at all skill levels. Unlike paddles with extra pop, this one helps you keep the ball at a shallower depth, which gives your partner and yourself more time to prepare for the next shot. This control is a game-changer, especially when trying to neutralize fast drives without losing precision. It's a great choice for players who need better control and feel in fast-paced exchanges.

If you like this paddle, you might also like the CRBN X Series or Carbon TruFoam.
