I love this paddle

Introduction
Body Helix continues to innovate with its latest offering, the X5 Kevlar paddle. This paddle features a Kevlar face, promising a blend of durability and performance.

Performance Testing
I put the X5 Kevlar paddle through rigorous drills to evaluate its performance. The paddle felt slightly heavier than my usual choices, but this difference was minimal. It demonstrated excellent touch around the net and on third shot drops, while still delivering impressive power on serves and groundstrokes.
The paddle's narrow shape is best suited for players with advanced control and fewer off-center hits, in my opinion.
Specifications
• Shape: Elongated
• Surface: Gold Kevlar
• Weight: 8.1 oz
• Handle Length: 5.25"
• Grip Size: 4.25”
• Total Length: 16.5”
• Width: 7.5”
• Thickness: 16mm
• Swing Weight: 122
• Twist Weight: 6.85
• Balance Point: 236
Detailed Specifications Analysis
• Swing Weight: The swing weight of 122 indicates that this paddle can generate significant power. This is relatively high, making it ideal for players who rely on strong, powerful swings.
• Twist Weight: With a twist weight of 6.85, this paddle offers excellent torsional stability, meaning it resists twisting during off-center hits. This is crucial for maintaining control with a light grip, typical in pickleball.
• Balance Point: The balance point of 236 suggests a head-heavy design, beneficial for players who prefer more power over maneuverability. This is slightly above the typical balance point of 6, enhancing power for big swingers.
Summary
The X5 Kevlar paddle is an excellent choice for players with a strong understanding of ball control and placement. Priced at $140, it sits comfortably in the mid-range category.
