Luxx Control Air S2

The Selkirk Luxx Control Air S2 is a wide-body pickleball paddle with a 20mm polypropylene honeycomb core, a material known for balancing power and control. The face features a spray-on grit surface. Weighing 8 ounces with a 4.5-inch grip, it has a swing weight of 108, considered low, and a twist weight of 7.12. The 20mm core thickness contributes to control-oriented play.

With a spin rating of 6.9 and a twist weight rating of 7.0, this paddle may offer good spin potential and stability on off-center hits. The high twist weight percentile (92nd) further suggests good resistance to twisting. However, its drive and volley speed ratings are lower, at 2.7 and 2.2 respectively, placing it in the lower percentiles for power and pop. This suggests it may be less suited for purely power-focused players.

The Luxx Control Air S2 might be a good fit for players prioritizing control and spin, potentially including beginners or those transitioning from other racquet sports. The lighter weight and lower swing weight could enhance maneuverability. However, players seeking maximum power might find its lower drive and volley speeds limiting.
