Lots of pop from the net, dink has lots of shape and feel, and full swings from baseline feels crisp. Transition zone takes a little work to keep it from popping up on resets, but doable.
I like the way the clothing looked and felt nice material
Amazing. After many hours and several friends trying we all agree controllable elite power. Sleeper paddle. Opponents said receiving the ball feels like a Shockwave. Dinks drops resets just relax paddle does the rest. Well done Body Helix.
Greatest most powerful paddle I have ever used
Super nice paddle . Very poppy paddle . Definitely made me a better player.
Loads of power. Great dwell time. It's a natural transition from the Mod. I love the feel of it and it looks great, too. The included cover is premium. The F1 F1nishes points!
I've played every top power paddle. This is the hardest hitting, highest spin paddle in the game. The fully formed one piece handle is far superior to a flat handle with inserts. Play the F1 and you will have an advantage over any opponent playing anything less. It's far better than the Boomstick, the Joolas, the Paddleteks. It's the most similar paddle to the Gearbox Pro Power Elongated with more spin and it's legal. Get one of these and don't look back. At 7.9 oz and 114 swing weight, it's light enough for everyone and if you prefer, you can weight it up and hit even harder.
I've been using the Flik F1 for over a month. Loved hitting with it from the first time I picked it up. This paddle has great power and spin along with control when resetting and at the net.
This a great paddle if you want some power. Very similar to the gen 3 with a slight bigger sweet spot.
They out did themselves with this one. It has it all. Power,spin and pop. This paddle puts it all together.
Great balance.
No wonder it wasn't approved, lol
My playstyle is control and spin, sprinkled in with power. I'm pleased to say that this paddle delivers. Playing with it now for 2 weeks I don't really feel the need for additional tape or weight. Thankfully, it's just right. I moved on from using a Ruby gaining more pop and power.
SMH means simply makes happy
A truly great paddle. Does everything well power,pop,spin. Sorry for your trouble with the approval process. Your trouble enabled me to have a remarkable paddle at a remarkable price. Thank you
Love the combination of power and spin in a lightweight agile paddle. Added some silicone weights at 4 and 8 o'clock which enlarged the sweet spot while maintaining great maneuverability. Hope it passes usap testing soon but in the meantime I have a top level paddle for an incredible low price.
What a fun paddle to let loose with in rec play. Power for days! Plenty of dwell. Easy to control with a soft grip. Doesn’t need any additional weight. Shame it didn’t get approved but still makes for a fun time with casual use.
This water bottle simply kills it. I have the expensive kind and this one beats it. ONIX has a bottle from same manufacturer that holds less and costs more. Great graphics too. Buy it.
I don't recommend the wide face to beginners or anyone with weaker wrists. A wide face paddle can have mis-hits when contact is left or right of center. If you have more experience and stronger wrists to control a wide paddle, then this is a great paddle. It has enough pop for solid drives and I had great control on my resets. If you like a wide shape paddle, then definitely get the Body Helix X5.
This paddle has really upped my game. It has power and control.
I am a 68 year old 4.0 player.I have been using a Gen
4 scorpeus.I was looking forward to the F1 standard after reviews for the elongated.Although this paddle didn't pass PBCor test.It is the best all court leaning power I have ever played with,and I have played with all the top end paddles.This paddle has the best power to control ratio I have ever played with.It drops third shots on a dime or gives you a great top spin drive that drops like a rock over the net.I can place my shots,right at my opponents feet,with amazing consistency.Rolls,volleys,resets,everything is consistent.I bought this because it was under 100 dollars and I wanted to try a foam paddle other than the tru foam.
HOPEFULLY a standard F1 will be approved soon for a tounament I have in November.I will gladly pay the 180.00 for it
Until then I will enjoy my six days a week open play with my smh.Lastly,I changed out grip for thinner,I wrapped 18 inches of .05 grams of non lead tuning tape.I have a quick in hand power paddle that is 8.0 onces and fast at the kitchen line to compete with younger players.I am not looking anymore for my perfect paddle that elevates my game on every level,I have found it.
I’ve enjoyed the Helix. Great control, nice placement. It’s upped my game.
Plays fast and powerful with tons of control. The super light paddle has even brought my backhand flik back into my repertoire. My new favorite paddle!!
Take off the middle band and static weight drops to 7.77 and SW 108. Add 4g to 4/8 and it goes to 112 but the TW jumps to 6.6! With a hesacore I’m at 8.5oz all in! Paddle is now incredibly stable with the most spin and dwell I’ve felt recently. We need to figure out how to get these to pass!! Too good not to. Please 🙏🏻
