Which is better for control?

The Selkirk Luxx Control Air. Its 19mm core is the thickest of the two and gives a softer, slower response that suits dinking and placement. The Six Zero's 16mm core is more balanced between power and control.

Which has more power?

The Six Zero Double Black Diamond in the 14mm core option. The thinner core flexes more and the 113 swing weight helps you generate head speed. The Selkirk's 19mm core trades pop for control.

Is the Selkirk worth the extra $100?

Only if spin durability and a soft control feel are your priority. The Six Zero is USA Pickleball approved and costs $150.00 at eBay as of November 8, 2026, versus $249.99 at PGA TOUR Superstore for the Selkirk.

The Selkirk should hold its spin longer. Selkirk claims its InfiniGrit surface keeps spin 3x longer than raw carbon, and raw carbon faces like the Six Zero's wear smooth with heavy play.

Which is better for beginners?

The Six Zero in 16mm. It is lighter, cheaper and more forgiving on price if you are still deciding how much you play. The Selkirk's control suits beginners too, but costs more.

Do both come in different shapes?

No. The Six Zero comes in one shape with a 16mm or 14mm core. The Selkirk Luxx Control Air comes in two shapes.
