Luxe Review

Overview: The tremendous swing speed of the Luxe LX pickleball paddle really amazed us. Due to the foam-filled edges, the paddle is incredibly light and glides through the air with a wonderful pop and big sweet spot. In addition to being incredibly comfortable, the open throat design looks fashionable on the court. At over $100 less, it feels a lot like a Selkirk Luxx. The ideal balance of power, spin, pop, and control can be found in the LX.

Performance: The Luxe LX shines with its foam filled edges proving it with an above average sweet spot. The weight distribution felt very even unlike a lot of the top heavy paddles. The holes on the side of the paddle are a unique design I haven’t seen in a paddle before but it didn’t seem to get in the way in terms of mis-hits like I thought it might. It has a bit of pep to it and the grit can put out some spin. It is one of the lightest paddles we’ve reviewed and thus lacks some power. However, it performs exceptionally well in dinks, resets, and controlled play.

Luxe did not disappoint with this stylish beginner paddle. The Leisure collection comes in 2 dozen design options. These paddles are made from Fiberglass with a core thickness of 11mm giving it a ton of power. It has a precise shot with good spin and durability.  The Luxe Leisure is arguably the best paddle you can buy at this price point.
