Summary

The Selkirk Luxx Control Air Epic is an all-court paddle with a standard shape. Its 20mm polypropylene honeycomb core is known for balancing power and control. The paddle features a spray-on grit surface. Weighing 8.1 oz with a 5.25-inch grip, it may suit players who prefer a lighter paddle for maneuverability. The swing weight is 113, considered medium, and may provide moderate power. The twist weight is 6.34.

With a spin rating of 7.0 and a spin of 1925 RPM, this paddle may offer good spin potential. However, its drive speed (50.5 MPH) and volley speed (32 MPH) rate lower, potentially indicating less power and pop compared to other paddles. The 20mm core thickness may contribute to its control-oriented characteristics.

This paddle might be suitable for intermediate players seeking a balance of control and spin. The lighter weight could benefit players prioritizing quick reactions and maneuverability at the net. Players seeking maximum power may find this paddle less suitable.
