Why Players Love It
The original LUXX Control Air gained a loyal following for its unmatched control. It was designed for players who rely on finesse, strategy, and placement—not brute force.
“I have only had [the paddle] about a week, but already have improved my play versus my old paddle. I have better control and I am hitting shots I didn’t make as often.”
– Tim R., Verified Buyer (4.0 Player)
Now, with InfiniGrit, players get the same trusted control, but with added spin durability and a boost in power.
