For Immediate Release: body helix introduces the Falcon with Dwell Pad Technology
[Charlotte, NC] – [9/1/2025] – FLiK Pickleball, a leader in paddle innovation, today announced the upcoming launch of the Falcon, a groundbreaking new paddle that introduces the first-of-its-kind Cork Dwell Pad technology. This innovation is positioned as the next leap in paddle design, offering players unmatched ball dwell time for superior grip, spin, and a uniquely buttery feel.
The Falcon is the culmination of over a year of research, combining Expanded Polypropylene (EPP) with natural cork dwell pads. These specialized inserts within the core allow the paddle to flex and hold the ball a fraction longer on the face. This revolutionary design results in a laser-guided control on offense and an ability to effortlessly "absorb and reset" the pace of powerful bangers on defense.
"The Falcon isn't just an evolution; it's a revolution in how a paddle interacts with the ball," said Fred Robinson, Founder and Head Of R&D for body helix and FLiK Pickleball. "We've created a paddle that feels both incredibly fast and forgiving. The cork dwell pads provide a connection with the ball unlike anything on the market, giving players an enhanced sense of control and a confidence-inspiring feel. This technology allows you to handle pace more effectively while still delivering powerful shots with pinpoint accuracy."
While the cork dwell pads are placed in specific locations within the paddle's core, their effect is not isolated to those points of contact. Instead, the paddle is engineered as an integrated system. The Terracore EPP foam and the cork dwell pads work together to create a unified and consistent response across the entire face of the paddle. This ensures that regardless of where the ball strikes, you will experience the same forgiving feel and controlled response.
In addition to its enhanced dwell time, the Cork Dwell Pad technology also acts as a natural shock absorber. This dramatically reduces vibration, making the Falcon a great choice if you suffer from wrist, elbow or shoulder tendonitis. It also mutes the sound, making the Falcon quieter while still delivering elite responsiveness. Its three layers of T700 Raw Toray Carbon further enhance its performance and durability.
The Falcon will initially come in an elongated shape (16.5" total length and 7.5" width), a balanced 8.0 oz static weight, and a 5.5" handle for a comfortable grip. With a Swing Weight of 114, the paddle is meticulously engineered for a perfect blend of agility and power, with a static weight that allows for customization.
