Before adding the weights the paddle had some issues. But we recently brought in a pro in the PPA and Dallas flash mlp and let them try the paddle. We added 5 body helix weights to the paddle. At 3 and 9/ 10 and 2 and 12.
The paddle now is doing amazingly well. That's all that was needed was 5 weights and that changed everything on the paddle. Sweet spot was huge. The power was amazing as well as the control. It's awesome what 5 weights can do to a paddle and it transformed that flik+ to one badass paddle with the weights. I recommend you get the flik + and be sure to add the weights. Makes all the difference.
No one could believe it was the same paddle once we got the weights on it. It's truly a badass paddle now with the weights added.
All you need are 5 of the body helix weights.
The paddle will respond so well it's amazing. I would have never of believed it till these pros showed me. What a game changer it is now. From beginner to pro it's an awesome paddle.

Wanted to buy from NC veteran owned USA brand and was intrigued by the brand new Flick +. Play pickleball just for fun and exercise, so the certification of USPA or UPAA approved for me was not and issue. Am a fan of the Standard body shape of 16 inches length by 8 inches width of the paddles and this new shape having an extra 1 inch in length to 17 was very appealing to me. After now 5 years of playing pickleball and buying over 75 paddles, needed to get this in my hand. This paddle felt great as
soon as I first played with it. Has great feel and love the Size Matters logo and colors. The grip was very good. Has super spin, very gritty and shapes the ball very well. Has all the control and power you need and then some.
Congrats to Body Helix on this new venture and I hope they keep innovating which is great for Pickleball. I have already 3 friends who tried my paddle wanting to get one and wanting me to sell them mine. Not going to happen. Hope this helps someone. Highly recommended. Thank you Mr. Robinson.

FLIK Plus Pickleball Paddle Review
Introduction
This is my review of the FLIK Plus Pickleball Paddle, the second “FLIK” paddle from Body Helix. Unlike the Gen 3 FLIK paddle, Body Helix has decided not to seek USAPA approval for the FLIK Plus. One reason for this is that the paddle exceeds the grit level allowed for certification, which significantly affects play by allowing for incredible spin on shots.
Specifications
• Core Thickness: 14mm X-Core black soft (A thinner core means more power)
• Paddle Size: 17 x 8”
• Handle Length: 5.8”
• Handle Circumference: 4.25”
• Surface: 2 layers of Toray Carbon surface + 1 Layer of Fiberglass (A fiberglass layer also provides more power)
• Construction: Cold Press
Paddle Technology
• Core: PP honeycomb
• Surface: 2 layers of T700 raw Toray carbon and 1 layer of fiberglass
• Design: Oversized for a bigger sweet spot
• Grit: Extreme
• Handle: Solid state
Cold Press Technology
In the era of thermoforming, cold press technology stands out. So, what is cold press technology? A "cold press" pickleball paddle is made by pressing together the different layers of the paddle (typically a composite face, a polymer core, and another composite face) at room temperature, without significant heat. This method ensures consistent performance through a simple layering process. Cold press paddles offer a blend of power, control, and touch, making them a popular choice among players.
Performance
The FLIK Plus paddle performs similarly to many traditional paddles. The cold press technology slightly reduces power, but the fiberglass layers and thinner core compensate for this. The wide body construction results in a larger sweet spot, providing consistency and minimizing off-center shots.
I found the paddle to be sufficiently powerful with excellent control on dinks and drop shots. The spin capability is outstanding, and although it took a few tries to control, I could spin the ball a few feet away from my opponent.
While Body Helix suggests this paddle is perfect for beginners, I believe it is best suited for players below the intermediate level (3.5). The consistency and power are ideal for players at this level.
Conclusion
The FLIK Plus Pickleball Paddle by Body Helix is a well-crafted paddle offering a great combination of power, control, and exceptional spin. Its cold press construction and additional fiberglass layers make it a standout choice for players looking to enhance their game.
