LUXX Control Air with InfiniGrit
Selkirk • Control • Standard
Quick Summary
Best for
Players who want ultimate control with more spin and a little extra power (without turning the paddle into a rocket launcher). The Epic shape feels perfect if you like a standard face with a long handle, great for dinks, drops, resets, and smart placement, while still having enough pop to punish floaters.
Standout
This version finally gives LUXX players what they asked for: spin that lasts. The InfiniGrit™ texture keeps the ball grabbing even after lots of sessions, and the updated build adds slightly more power while keeping that signature LUXX “keep-it-in” control feel.
Watch out
It’s still a control-first paddle, so if your whole game is pure drive + speedup bullying, you might want a more power-leaning model. Also, it’s edgeless, which feels fast and clean, but you’ll want to be mindful about scraping it on hard courts.
Buy if
-
You want a paddle that helps you keep the ball in and win with placement.
-
You want high spin that stays consistent over time (InfiniGrit).
-
You love soft game confidence: dinks, drops, resets, blocks.
-
You want a thick 19mm core feel for stability and forgiveness.
-
You like the Epic shape (standard face + longer handle) for a balanced all-court style.
Pass if
-
You want maximum free power and pop for constant bangers.
-
You prefer an elongated shape for extra reach more than forgiveness.
-
You don’t like edgeless paddles.
-
You want a lighter “whippy” paddle feel (this one is more stable/control-focused).

What’s Actually Doing The Work
This is the upgrade that matters. It keeps the “grab” feeling consistent, so topspin rolls, cut dinks, and shaped serves don’t fade as fast as typical raw carbon textures.
That thick core is the control engine, more stability, more forgiveness, bigger sweet spot feel. Anti-torque placement helps reduce twisting when you catch the ball slightly off-center.
The foam helps with comfort and vibration control, and the updated throat design helps the paddle swing faster and cleaner, especially in hand battles and quick redirections.
My setup tip
Because it’s already stable, I’d start no lead tape. If you want a touch more comfort and a slightly softer feel, add one overgrip. And since it’s edgeless, a little protective edge tape is smart if you play on rough outdoor courts.
Durability note
InfiniGrit is designed for longer-lasting texture, and Selkirk backs it with a lifetime warranty (with registration). Just remember: with edgeless paddles, cosmetic wear from scraping can happen, so keep it protected if you’re hard on equipment.
Play Test Notes
Short, honest notes with hover lift for each card.
Spin is strong and stays consistent, rolls and cut dinks bite nicely.
More power than the older LUXX feel, but still control-first.
This is the money zone—drops, resets, and blocks feel easy to keep low.
Big and forgiving for a performance paddle—19mm helps a lot.
Fast hands feel clean, and the paddle stays stable in counters.
5.25" is comfortable and balanced—great for most players, decent for a two-hand assist.
A control monster that finally adds “lasting spin” and a little extra punch—without losing the LUXX identity.
