4x with Carbon face paddle is good for beginners to intermediate players, because of large sweet spots making it easier to return serve and volley.
Currently in my bag are about 5 paddles from various companies. The paddle I always grab these days is the X5. It’s just that good!
I have played the 007 Standard shape F1 Flik paddle for almost 3 weeks (4 plays a week) since bought it. The overall feel is good in terms of pop, power, spin, and control. However, the sweet spot is smaller than other brands like Joola or CRBN regarding the standard shape (16x8). The reason is the bottom hitting area is smaller due to the design of the throat taper is sharper so the overall hitting area feels smaller than other brands.
Although the grit of the surface is great and makes the handle length a bit loner, but the TW feels overestimated since I need to add 4 of 0.1 oz precut strips on both sides of the throat area to feel the stability. If the taper of the throat shape of this 007 can be the same as another Filk sandblaster paddle, this will be an ultimately amazing wide-body paddle.
I see a different in my game, since my purchase of the X1 paddle. I have not been able to get on the courts as much do to an old leg injury. But a much better game...
Paddle is VERY high quality, grit is rough (Great for spins), and the paddle feel was different than most. Very fun paddle, however, I am having trouble controlling it as most shots, even returns will sail out farther than expected. Soft game is decent, but this paddle shines when pop ups happen, but besides that, alot of inconsistency and hard to control.
Trouble using my shoulder while playing volleyball. This wrapped around my shoulder has made a huge difference.
The new Body Helix Pickleball Backpack is an absolute must-have for any serious player. The high-quality material feels durable and built to last, providing excellent protection for my gear. It’s compact yet spacious, easily fitting up to four paddles, balls, and other essentials. The thoughtful design includes a lined top pocket for valuables, side mesh pockets for snacks and beverages, and, best of all, a built-in battery pack hookup—perfect for keeping my phone charged during long play sessions. One of my favorite features is the hidden pocket for valuables, which adds an extra layer of security when I’m at the courts. The comfortable straps make it easy to carry, even when fully loaded. With its premium construction and smart features, this backpack is a game-changer for pickleball players!
I've been playing with the Body Helix TerraCore F1 Elongated paddle for a while now, and it has truly elevated my game. The combination of power, spin, and control is outstanding. The paddle has just crazy grit to generate spin while still offering a solid, smooth feel on every shot. Whether I'm at the net or driving from the baseline, the responsiveness and consistency are top-notch. Highly recommend this paddle for anyone looking to step up their game!
As the father of three Pickleball players I was looking for the “next phase” in gear for my rising Pickleball prodigies and the x1 was it!
My 12 year old tested several next-level paddles as he began to compete at a much higher level and the x1 was a no brainer. The light weight coupled with the larger sweet spot and control-friendly surface makes the x1 simply the best paddle available in this, or nearly any, price range.
At first play I really loved this paddle. After about 2-3weeks I’ve grown to learn that I can only play with this paddle against beginners. This paddle has slight inconsistency and erratic moments of pop. Playing against anyone above a 4.0 when you can’t predict pop is futile.
My wife plays at the beginner level and loves this paddle. She has now taken ownership of it from me and uses it as her primary.
This paddle is by far the most fun one I’ve ever played with. The grit, the power, the pop, all amazing. No need to overgrip since the original grip is awesome. It’s become my main, as my Joola Mod TA 15 collects dust in my bag.
Fantastic paddle smooth solid enough power great spin surprised for the price
Easy transaction. Reliable delivery. Comfortable and confident for my ankle support. All in all - very pleased!
Nice balance and feel.
Gritty face for maximum spin.
It’s a great paddle for the early beginner who wants to get a feel for both the game and the ball as it comes off the paddle
Lo it! Great price, stability and weight! Helps me make really powerful drives. Take this with a grain salt since I am truly a 3.0 at best, but for $80, you really can’t get a better power paddle! Beats out my Vatic Pro Flash, Friday paddle and seems to hit just as hard as my Paddletek bantam. I wish Body Helix could get more exposure out there! No one has heard about this paddle.
I have demoed over 10 paddles in 2 1/2 years. You don’t have to add anything to it. Just swing as is and you will see. It just feels different and it’s legal. It’s power & control seem more balanced than other paddles. It’s AFFORDABLE for average players, yet it helps give you the edge you need to be BETTER! Just Buy It!💙
I had high hopes for this hat due to the quick drying materials it has. I have a decent amount of hair and realized this hat barely fits snug on my head and would not recommend purchasing this hat
After 6-8 PB sessions adjusting to the paddle. Love the spin, love the lively ball response but still learning to control both. love the feel and balance….Break-In continues.
Initially I wasn’t as satisfied with the paddle as it related to my playing style, but I learned about the silicone weights and where to place them and it has made all the difference! Transformed it into my perfect paddle!
TerraCore F1 Elongated (The Sandblaster) - FLIK Approved
This paddle really does everything well and I haven’t lost a match since using it! Great job Body Helix!
