This is how reviews should be done, field testing unlike many just sit on front of camera and talk. This channel have great potential , keep up the good work. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge.

[@universalrackets]

I appreciate that!

[@Erikbenitez582]

Just transitioned from Paddletek to Selkirk. Using the Halo Control Max. Loving it!! Looking forward to trying this one out… maybe when I win it! Lol

[@universalrackets]

Glad you are loving Selkirk! We have discounts and codes you can use! Definitely let us know how your paddles are!

[@totallygrateful]

Perhaps a comparison for players looking for a control paddle: the Vanguard Control vs the Luxx (since they're both control paddles).

[@universalrackets]

stay tuned:)

[@Zeeyakk]

“Look how many longer the handle…” look exactly the same length…. Now i really question if the power is indeed more “powerful” than the control

[@ErikaAtkins111]

Excellent perspective, details, review, and comparisons!! I need to get my hands on the Invikta! 😮💪🏼 ‘I have a 2-handed back… and I have 2 hands’ love the banter! 😂

[@universalrackets]

Thanks for watching! Haha yes! Lol

[@robertcuomo7084]

I’d like to see a review comparison with the Luxx. the Luxx, that is a control paddle. Not even thinking about his new one honestly since I have a Luxx.

[@aaronsegal1682]

Same here.
Very happy with my Luxx.

[@universalrackets]

Yes, we were thinking that. However, the Luxe and the control are two different paddles. I don’t really know how to compare. Lux is much softer

[@reidkyle561]

I love my Control Invikta. True spin with very measured control. I did not need to add weight to the medium, just go play!

[@webstermiller7765]

Out of the 2 I think the Luxx feels more solid. My Invikta VC MW came in a 8.15 ounces and yet it still feels somewhat empty/hollow in comparison to the Luxx as well as other thermoformed paddles that use edge foam. I'm not really sure whom this paddle is really designed for. There are plenty of thermoformed RCF control paddles on the market that feel much more dense/plush at a better price point. Even Gen 1.5 paddles with edge foam only such as the Vatic Prism series feel so much better.

[@reidkyle561]

I don't agree that the Lyxx feels more solid at all. It is a much softer surface than the Vanguard Control when testing several balls including the new Gamma. I also note that the Luxx surface coat is diminishing after 4 months and don't see that happening with the raw carbon surface of the VC.

[@Hannabac05]

Very informative. Awesome review, guys!

[@universalrackets]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@johnkirsch5136]

Getting the new control paddle tomarrow in the mail.. Cant wait. My game is all about control, spin and placement. Had the air and did not like it at all.
As a senior power is just not the biggest part of our games. Control is. Think I made a great choice after watching this video.
You guys rock as always

[@universalrackets]

Yes, I think you are making a great choice

[@fgnhcfm]

Great review, love your videos ❤

[@universalrackets]

Thank you so much!

[@laurynroxs]

Great review! Can’t wait to get the invicta

[@universalrackets]

Thanks so much. It is awesome

[@tod5098]

so if I'm a power hitter looking to improve my touch, it seems like I should go with the control paddle. Do the control paddles generate enough pop?

[@bellazoe1]

I’m a power player I own the amped invikta power air and the invikta power air and I think the reg power air is the finest paddle I’ve ever used. Forget all the analysis this thing does it all and is absolutely elite at the net so it’s a great doubles paddle.

[@AshleeTamara]

Would love to win! I have RA at 32 years old, and I think this would help my game a lot! :)

[@universalrackets]

Did you enter our giveaways?

[@peteherrera1502]

Add lead weight all around the paddle and you can turn a power paddle into a control/power paddle.

[@universalrackets]

we have the lead on the control and it still lacks a bit of power compared to power air with no tape

[@hendrikdewit628]

Need that control vanguard from the give away!

[@universalrackets]

Good luck

[@robertsmith2032]

Watching this makes me want it either more.

[@barrybalmer6341]

I have Luxx Epic. I added some lead tape to sides for more plow through. Is the Vanguard a little bit more power than the Luxx or about the same??

[@universalrackets]

Luxx is more pop

[@a.greenfilms2086]
