Which is better for spin?

The Boomstik Elongated lists a 2,041 RPM spin rate, slightly above the Luxx Control Air's up to 2,000 RPM. The Luxx's InfiniGrit surface is rated to hold its spin 3x longer than raw carbon, so it may keep spin longer over time.

Which is better for control?

The Luxx Control Air. Its 19mm core and edgeless build give a softer, more forgiving feel than the Boomstik's 16mm core.

Which has more reach?

The Boomstik Elongated. Its face is 16.5 inches long and 7.45 inches wide, giving extra reach on serves and at the net.

Is the Luxx Control Air worth the extra $30?

If you value a thicker core, edgeless construction and longer-lasting spin, yes. If you want more reach and a higher spin rate for less money, the Boomstik is the better buy.

The Boomstik Elongated is listed at 8.1–8.4 oz. Selkirk does not list a weight for the Luxx Control Air, so compare in hand if weight matters to you.
