Purchased this paddle F3 hybrid to try it out and I am really loving it. Paddle feel is great, responsive and has good control. This is a true all court paddle, wherein you direct your drives, dinks, drips and drops to where you want without any issues. I’ve been using Holbrook Arma, Aero and I can say that the flik f3 seems to be the better paddle for me. I was about to purchase the Holbrook Fuze but changed my mind and instead bought the flik F3 hybrid with discounts available .
So far no issues with the quality of the product.
I couldn't find a brace that supported my husband's shoulder, that was damaged in a very serious accident. Our family PT suggested this brace. From the moment we put it on, there was a sigh of relief. The true test was several hours later when I suggested taking it off. My husband said no thanks, I'll just leave it on.
The F3 Hybrid is great! I'm able to make shots I couldn't before with my other paddle. It handles nicely.
Coming from a tennis background, I tend to hit the ball near the top end of the face. Same goes for the pickleball paddle. Since the F3 has a higher balance point (head heavy), that's where the energy is being transferred. And combined with a higher twist weight on the hybrid model and varying density around the face, the result is controlled power on most shots. Spin is excellent. The smaller grip size with perforated wrap also aids in handling the paddle and feel. With the price below $200, not including discount, this is a great value.
Very happy with the paddle after 3 weeks. Transitioning from a Selkirk Luxx (elongated) to a hybrid- process has been relatively easy. The new paddle seems a bit more stable on mishits and resets have improved. This is a good paddle.
This paddle is just amazing! My go to paddles for the last couple of years have been Honolulu Pickleball. I was getting ready to replace my J2FC+ with the new J2CR, but it was only available for pre-order. While I was waiting, I started seeing reviews for the Flik F3, and it sounded really great. At the amazing price of $126 I figured I’d give it a shot. I’m so glad that I did! Somehow it manages to give both better control and more pop along with great spin. It feels light in the hand and is extremely maneuverable. Oh, and the sweet spot is huge! This one is definitely a keeper!
A truly awesome paddle!
This is my first full foam core paddle and I was expecting a significant learning curve coming from honeycomb core paddles. What I didn't expect was how smooth the transition was from first stroke. Every ball strike felt smooth, controlled, deliberate.
I have only played a few matches and still have some technique to learn but I haven't been this excited about a new paddle since my very first "next level" paddle.
Great feel and power for an all court paddle at this price level. The grip is thinner than my other paddles but that's a personal preference.
Plays as advertised. I have more control than with my BnB Loco and the power is still enough for me. I also feel more incontrol on the placement of serves than I have in the past. Certainly recommend.
I thought it would help the mishits from off center shots. It is ok. It is less power than my current Ben Johns Perseus. I do hit more shots into the new than I did before especially with my backhand. I do find i have more control and placement shots. I think I would conform to the loss in power shots however, I am not impressed with the off center correction ability of the paddle. Is there another model that would help with that. I may want to change.
Absolutely Love this paddle, Great feel, Great Power I would definitely recommend it to anyone
The compression of the sleeve helps leverage the damaged bicep
I really like this paddle. The triple core gave me all the pop, power, and feel that I needed. The outer core seemed to really expand the sweet spot which helped with off center hits.
Fantastic paddle that has a well blended combo of stability for control and power for drives
Nice racquet, have used twice, still getting used to it, but I definitely notice more pop to my hits. Definitely worth the money
Feel, control, and pop are all perfect for me. Sweet spot is helping me field low balls much easier.
Surprisingly powerful yet very controllable while still yielding excellent feel in the kitchen. I am also able to manage quick and accurate speedups that opponents find surprising. It is aptly named "Flik," as you can flick it quickly with devastating results! Outstanding paddle and my new "number one!"
My 5 Star Rating is an approximate score.
The Pro’s: love the way it feels and moves at the snack line and handles volleys in No Man’s Land.
The Con’s: the handle is a little small in width (I put an Overwrap on it and will see if that helps); it feels somewhat under- powered at the base line and for Overheads (I have applied some weight to the top of the paddle, which seems to improve it).
Overall, this is an excellent paddle. Thank you for making it so affordable!
Like the grip not crazy about the size (small). Will try to add weights for more power and stability. Disappointed with spin
Product sends very well built. Great spin and a good feel with solid control. Definitely not as much pop as some others, bit fit a great second/backup paddle, the Flik meets my needs zz
