FLIK TerraCore F1 Standard (.007)

This paddle is TONS of fun, even when I rarely drive with it (my style is more dink and drop and well, I was trying to avoid hurting people). As others have said, it's an overpowered paddle, but to stop at that or employ only a banger style with this paddle would be a waste of its potential. It has a unique combination of great dwell and high pop & power that can create ridiculous spin while still giving decent touch. With enough topspin, you can do unspeakable things with it. My favorite shot on this paddle is the angled drip on the 3rd against an approaching opponent, which have broken many ankles and made people literally fall over trying to get to the ball.

Besides drives, midcourt counters and flicks are also crazy dangerous. If your mechanic utilizes a lot of spin, the paddle becomes much easier to control. The dwell also helps a lot with drops and resets. I've tried other high powered foam core paddles, and feel I could control the F1 easier than those or the Joola Gen 3s. It also has good sweetspot and stability. There is no other paddle on the market like it, and will guarantee some "holy sh*t" moments on the court. Props to Body Helix for coming up with a wildly interesting paddle, and for the commitment to quality - it's a very well made product with great finish and details.

I have played the 007 Standard shape F1 Flik paddle for almost 3 weeks (4 plays a week) since bought it. The overall feel is good in terms of pop, power, spin, and control. However, the sweet spot is smaller than other brands like Joola or CRBN regarding the standard shape (16x8). The reason is the bottom hitting area is smaller due to the design of the throat taper is sharper so the overall hitting area feels smaller than other brands.
Although the grit of the surface is great and makes the handle length a bit loner, but the TW feels overestimated since I need to add 4 of 0.1 oz precut strips on both sides of the throat area to feel the stability. If the taper of the throat shape of this 007 can be the same as another Filk sandblaster paddle, this will be an ultimately amazing wide-body paddle.

Love it!

Paddle is VERY high quality, grit is rough (Great for spins), and the paddle feel was different than most. Very fun paddle, however, I am having trouble controlling it as most shots, even returns will sail out farther than expected. Soft game is decent, but this paddle shines when pop ups happen, but besides that, alot of inconsistency and hard to control.

At first play I really loved this paddle. After about 2-3weeks I’ve grown to learn that I can only play with this paddle against beginners. This paddle has slight inconsistency and erratic moments of pop. Playing against anyone above a 4.0 when you can’t predict pop is futile.
My wife plays at the beginner level and loves this paddle. She has now taken ownership of it from me and uses it as her primary.
