Great paddle

Excellent paddle for control and creating spin

Played with the carbon fiber X-1 before switching to the Kevlar X-1.
The reason for the switch was because the carbon fiber paddle developed cracks on the frame on both top corners. I am concerned about the quality of the Kevlar X-1 also. I’ve only played with it a few times and the face already has marks that will not wipe off. Would like to know if there is anyway to clean it.
The carbon fiber paddle did have the “eraser “.

Another Great Paddle from Body Helix

INTRODUCTION
Body Helix continues to elevate its paddle offerings by integrating cutting-edge technology. The latest addition is the Kevlar-faced version of their popular X1 paddle. With Kevlar's flexibility surpassing that of carbon fiber, this new face provides enhanced power without compromising the control that seasoned players expect from the X1.

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: At 122, the swing weight is on the higher end, translating to significant power generation. This is ideal for players who rely on powerful swings.
• Twist Weight: A twist weight of 6.85 ensures excellent torsional stability, crucial for maintaining control during off-center hits, especially with a light grip typical in pickleball.
• Balance Point: The balance point of 236 suggests a head-heavy design, favoring players who prioritize power over maneuverability. This is slightly above the typical balance point, enhancing power for big swingers.
TESTING
• Dinking: The X1 Kevlar performed admirably, comparable to high-end paddles like the Six Zero Double Black Diamond and CRBN. The added weights didn’t negatively impact dinking; in fact, they allowed for more relaxed shots.
• Serves: My serve strategy focuses more on spin than power, and the X1 Kevlar excelled in generating spin. The additional weights at the paddle's top contributed significantly to my topspin serves.
• Ground Strokes: The paddle allowed for both power and spin in ground strokes. Underspin returns were effective in keeping the ball low. The handle length facilitated a comfortable two-handed backhand for ground strokes, dinks, and even backhanded overheads.
• Volleying (Firefights): The X1 Kevlar truly shone during volleys. In over two hours of skinny singles, the paddle excelled in quick exchanges. It allowed for precise ball placement and powerful shots, exceeding my expectations.
SUMMARY
The X1 Kevlar paddle is best suited for intermediate to advanced players due to its power. Beginners might find it too powerful, but for those with experience, it offers a great balance of power and control.
