For Immediate Release: FLiK F1 to launch in July
Charlotte, NC – June 10, 2025 – body helix, a leader in innovative pickleball equipment, is thrilled to announce the upcoming launch of the FLiK F1 with TerraCoreXC, a USAP-approved pickleball paddle set to redefine the sport with its revolutionary Gen 4 Expanded Polypropylene (EPP) foam core technology. Slated for release in July 2025, the FLiK F1 combines cutting-edge materials and meticulous engineering to deliver unmatched controlled power and spin for players of all levels.
Revolutionary TerraCoreXC Technology
At the heart of the FLiK F1 lies TerraCoreXC, a patent-pending Gen 4 EPP foam core that shatters the limitations of traditional polypropylene honeycomb cores. Unlike conventional cores, which suffer from rapid breakdown, dead spots, and harsh feedback, TerraCoreXC’s precisely engineered density formulation offers:
- Pocketed Precision: Laser-Focused Flick. A longer dwell time paired with a proprietary high-friction peel ply surface means the paddle pockets the ball until YOU decide where to laser focus your shot.
- Pop-Enhanced Sweet Spot: Fiberglass Firepower. We added an area of fiberglass on top of the 4 layers of Carbon Fiber for added pop for those firefights at the kitchen, all while providing power on your drives.
- Built to Last: Unbreakable TerraCoreXC Endurance. You don't have to worry about core crushing or the paddle breaking down. Our specially formulated TerraCoreXC is built to last.
This innovative core, crafted through a unique bonding process and internal structure, offers lasting durability and a consistent playing experience, making the FLiK F1 a game-changer for both competitive and recreational players.
Engineered for Excellence
The USAP Approved FLiK F1 is designed with an elongated shape (16.5" x 7.5") to maximize reach and precision. Its face features four layers of Toray T700 carbon fiber (the lightest and strongest carbon available) for a superior strength-to-weight ratio, complemented by a central fiberglass area for added pop. A solid polyurethane handle enhances comfort, reducing arm fatigue during extended play.
“The FLiK F1 with TerraCoreXC is the culmination of over a year of research and player feedback,” said Fred Robinson, founder and head of R&D for body helix and FLiK Pickleball. “We’ve engineered a paddle that solves real player complaints - a paddle with power that doesn't "break in" while pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in pickleball technology.”
Join the FLiK Revolution
The FLiK F1 is poised to make waves in the pickleball community, offering tournament-ready performance backed by full USAP approval. Players eager to experience TerraCoreXC can try the Sandbox F1XC, a limited-edition Sandbox version available now, while awaiting the official launch.
