Paddle Features

Standard Shape

The Standard shape offers the largest sweet spot for maximum control and consistency. It is great for balanced play, allowing for solid control and power without the limitations of a smaller sweet spot or reduced width. At the net, the Standard Paddle is more maneuverable and ideal for quick volleys and exchanges.

Honeycomb PP Core

If you prefer the honeycomb PP cores over the foam paddles, the X5 is a great choice.  We use a 8mm black honeycomb core for durability and a top layer of kevlar.

Solid Handle and Cushioned Grip

Just say "no" to squishy handles.  At body helix we believe your high performance paddle should have a high-quality solid handle that feels good in your hand.  We cover the handle with a cushioned grip that dampens vibrations, for a paddle that you can comfortably hold for hours.

Testing

  • Static Weight  8.07oz

What Makes It Special

Designed For Speed

The low swing weight and standard shape make this paddle an exceptional choice for those who spend most of their time near the kitchen where paddle speed matters. The X5 has plenty of power in the backcourt, but it really shines when you get to the kitchen and need speed.

Built for Control

Standard shape with a gritty peel ply surface, the X5 is definitely a control paddle. If you crave precision over power, this is a paddle for you.

Engineered for Stability

The X5 is engineered with a high twist weight, making it an incredibly stable paddle that can be forgiving of those off-center shots.

Fantastic Paddle

This paddle does the job. My instructor recommended the paddle and she was right on target. It is balanced and just right in feel and usability.

i really like it

i had a power paddle before not knowing too much about paddles when i bought my 1st paddle. After a year playing with my 1st paddle that had lots of power but having wild shots out of nowhere, this paddle has improved my game and made it more consistent. I get more winners on control vs. the power.

Love the kevlar grit

Tried the X5 kevlar paddle from a friend and loved the balance and grit. Spins are easy to use on offense and with a few strategic weights I increased the sweet spot. Worth every penny!
