Good paddle, well rounded, just a little more grit needed to be an excellent racket. It's kind of the heavy side, but plush, access to power, and excellent control and plows through.
Thank you body helix for this. Help a lot when I am doing anything that puts strain on my shoulder. Love it!
My Flik F3 is my go to paddle - it was love at first serve with topspin and depth that felt controlled and lower effort. But the F3 really shines in mid-court where defensive resets are easier than with other foam paddles I have tried. It is lightish - but I haven't weighted it yet as it is feeling good as is. Price and performance top notch.
The paddle is pretty amazing! Really enjoy the feel and such a reliable paddle!
Great paddle! Plush with tons of control and sneaky power!! Walks the line between all court and power with top notch build quality.
I am happy with the paddle thus far.It has a very good swing weight with plenty of pop. I did add a small amount of weight to the bottom corners to improve the touch on drops.overall, very well pleased with it.
Love it. Has a reasonable sweet spot area. Has lots of power and spin is awesome especially on serves.
This is such a great paddle!! I can shape the ball really well and provide plenty of power. The paddle allows me to give full swings and truly play freely.. I’m never concerned of hitting it out and not to mention how easy it is to keep all the balls in play. I highly recommend this paddle!
It supports my knee when I run or workout at the gym. Thanks Body Helix!
I am really enjoying this paddle. I'm coming from a 6.0 DBD and prefer an all court control type of paddle. This paddle has been allowed a really smooth transition from my previous paddle and has plenty of power when needed. The triple foam core seems to have really enlarged the sweet spot and off-center shots don't "go dead" on me the way they do with other paddles. I'm glad I saw some reviews of this paddle online and I'm quite happy that I decided to purchase this paddle. I would definitely buy another one.
I was excited about the extra dwell time I'd read about, but this paddle seams to have an odd combo of power and dwell. Sometimes it felt more dead than I expected, and other times more pop. I'm hoping that I'll grow to love it, but my first impression was less intuitive than I'd hoped it would be.
The F3 Hybrid is the perfect paddle for (a) women who play frequently with power-hitting men and want to add power to their game, and (b) previous racket sports players who rely heavily on precision and control in their pickleball game. This paddle added a lot of power to my game, without sacrificing the control I rely on to play more advanced and harder hitting opponents. It also loses that bulky feel of many paddles out there now. And the weight is perfect for flexibility and agility during kitchen speed ups. Also a plus is the fact that you can get a base grip size that is smaller, which makes the paddle much more maneuverable for players with smaller hands or a smaller upper body. And you can always adjust the grip size with an over grip. My 4.0 male mixed partner also plays with this paddle, so it isn't just for women. But women over 40, I would highly recommend this paddle if you have a game that combines power and precision, and are looking for a price point too.
I'm still getting used to it but so far I love the feel of it. I highly recommend it.
