This paddle is not USAP approved

What happens when you take the exact same world-class layup, core, and flawless design as our USAP-approved FLiK F1 Elongated paddle and put it in a different shape? You get a paddle that's still an absolute weapon—and one that makes us want to smack ourselves in the head.

We call it the FLiK F1 SMH, and it’s the same perfect core, the same insane spin, and the same power that passed certification in the Elongated Paddle. Yet, for reasons that still make us facepalm, this particular paddle didn’t make it through the final test. It's a riddle we don’t have an answer to yet, but we want to get these paddles into your hands.  You want them, and we want to get them to you.

To do that, we had to get a little creative. You'll notice the official USAP stamps have been removed and covered with our new SMH logo—a playful way of acknowledging the outcome. We're proud of this paddle's performance and know you'll love it, so we simply couldn't let it sit on a shelf.   It will be playing in the Sandbox while we continue with the R&D.

This is your chance to own a limited-edition piece with a great story. It's a top-tier paddle for players who understand the unique circumstances of its release. Just don't try to peek underneath the stamp!

Crisp paddle

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.

This a great paddle if you want some power. Very similar to the gen 3 with a slight bigger sweet spot.

Way too much fun

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

Lot of pop, but controllable. Good spin and I like the longer handle.
