How the LUXX Control Air with InfiniGrit plays
The Selkirk LUXX Control Air with InfiniGrit is a control-oriented paddle. On our 0–10 comparison scale its strongest traits are control and forgiveness. Its elongated shape adds reach and leverage for power and spin, but the sweet spot sits higher and rewards consistent contact.
It is aimed at 3.0–4.5 players, and it is forgiving enough for improvers still grooving their swing. It favours touch over raw put-away power. It sits in the premium price tier — confirm the current price at the source before buying. It is part of the Selkirk pro/control line.
