Same Great Paddle.  New, Sleek Look!

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
  • Swing Weight  115
  • Twist Weight  6.9
  • Balance Point  23.9

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.
