Condition: Excellent
A one-of-one Spinwave Certified Pre-Owned paddle. Light cosmetic wear from normal play โ the InfiniGrit face is clean with texture intact, the edge guard is fully seated, and there are no dead spots, cracks, or delamination. Cleaned and sanitized, fully inspected by our team, and fitted with a fresh overgrip before shipping. Graded honestly: it looks played, it plays like new.
The Selkirk LUXX Control Air Invikta is the control player's power paddle. A 19mm X7 Thikset Honeycomb core gives you the thickest, plushest platform Selkirk builds, and the Florek carbon fiber face opens up a huge sweet spot. What makes this one different is InfiniGrit โ a surface treatment with roughly 3X the durability of traditional raw carbon, so the bite doesn't sand off after a season. This is the Jack Sock Edition colorway, named for the Olympian and pro who plays the Invikta shape.
Best For
Players with a tennis background, or anyone who wants reach and leverage from the baseline without giving up touch at the kitchen. The elongated Invikta shape and 5.35" handle leave plenty of room for a two-handed backhand, and the 19mm core soaks up pace on resets and blocks.
Skill Level & Play Style
Skill Level: Intermediate to Advanced (3.5+)
Play Style: Aggressive baseline, control-first with drive power
The LUXX Control Air platform is built around dwell time. The thick core keeps the ball on the face longer, which is what lets you shape drops and roll volleys instead of just blocking them back. EVA foam in the throat and handle takes the sting out of off-center contact and adds whip through the swing, so the paddle feels lighter than the spec sheet suggests.
Why Players Like It
- InfiniGrit surface โ roughly 3X the durability of standard raw carbon, with spin potential up to ~2,000 RPM
- 19mm X7 Thikset core โ the plushest, most forgiving core in the Selkirk lineup
- Air Dynamic Throat โ the Project 007 throat design that adds flex and cuts drag through the swing
- Longest reach in the LUXX line โ the Invikta shape gives you the extra inches on stretch volleys and serves
- Quiet, damped feel โ EVA foam in the neck and handle kills vibration on mishits
- Certified by Spinwave โ inspected, sanitized, fresh overgrip, graded honestly

Performance Notes
Nineteen millimeters is a lot of core, and it shows up where you'd expect: resets sit down, blocks stay in the kitchen, and hard drives come off the face without ballooning. The trade-off is that this isn't a put-away paddle out of the box โ you generate the pace, the paddle keeps it honest. The Air Dynamic Throat is what keeps it from feeling sluggish; the cutout drops swing weight and adds a little flex so you can still whip through roll volleys. CM Anti-Torque holds the head stable when you catch one off the tip.
Quick Buying Summary
Get it if: you want maximum control and dwell time, you come from tennis, or you hit a two-handed backhand and want the reach.
Skip it if: you want raw pop off the face โ a thinner thermoformed power paddle is the better call.
Heads up: this is a single Certified Pre-Owned unit. Once it's gone, it's gone.
How It Compares
Against the standard LUXX Control Air Invikta, this is the same build in the Jack Sock colorway โ no performance difference, just the graphics. Compared to the LUXX Epic or S2 shapes, the Invikta trades sweet-spot width for reach and leverage, so it favors drivers over dinkers. Next to a 16mm raw carbon control paddle, the extra 3mm here buys you noticeably more forgiveness and a softer landing on resets.
The Tech Inside
Triples the durability of traditional raw carbon surfaces while boosting spin potential to roughly 2,000 RPM.
19mm of polymer core for maximum dwell time, forgiveness, and vibration control.
Derived from Project 007, the throat cutout increases flex and cuts aerodynamic drag through the swing.
Foam-injected neck and handle reduce vibration and add whip for extra power.
Expands the sweet spot and keeps power consistent across the face.
Adds stability and holds the head square on off-center hits.
FAQs
What does Excellent condition actually mean?
Light cosmetic wear from normal play โ small scuffs on the face or edge guard that don't affect how it plays. No dead spots, no delamination, no cracks, texture intact. Cleaned, sanitized, inspected, and re-gripped before it ships.
Is the Jack Sock Edition different from the standard Invikta?
Only cosmetically. Same 19mm X7 Thikset core, same Florek face with InfiniGrit, same Invikta shape and handle length โ it's the colorway that changes.
Does the paddle come with a cover?
No โ this listing is paddle only.
Does the Selkirk warranty transfer?
No. Manufacturer warranties don't carry over on Certified Pre-Owned sales. Our inspection is what backs the paddle.
