Description

Meet the Body Helix FLIK Gen 3 Pickleball Paddle—a Gen 3 build that’s engineered to last. While other thermoformed paddles can fade or break down, the FLIK Gen 3 is designed for durability, consistency, and high-end performance at a more accessible price point.

Its floating core and Black X-Core PP honeycomb deliver a crisp, responsive feel with no tedious “break-in” period—just grab it and play your best from day one. Stacked with carbon and Kevlar layers in a Standard shape, it blends power, control, and spin for players who want a tour-level feel without the tour-level price tag.

On-Court Highlights

  • Gen 3 construction built to solve the usual “fall-apart” issues of earlier Gen 3 paddles.
  • Black X-Core PP honeycomb for a stable, crisp response and reliable feel over time.
  • Triple-layer face: two layers of T700 Raw Toray Carbon topped with blue Kevlar for power and spin.
  • Standard shape (16.0" x 7.7") that feels familiar and balanced in both singles and doubles.
  • 16 mm core thickness increases dwell time, control, and forgiveness on resets and blocks.
  • 8.1 oz midweight build that feels solid through contact without sacrificing hand speed.
  • Solid polyurethane handle for a more comfortable, vibration-dampened grip.
