Description

The Body Helix X5 Kevlar Pickleball Paddle is a short-wide, attacking paddle built for fast hands, huge spin, and explosive pop. Featuring a 100% Gold Kevlar surface over a premium X-Core, it’s designed to dominate hand battles while still giving you enough touch to work the soft game at the net.

On-Court Highlights

  • Standard short-wide shape (16" x 7.95") increases surface area and sweet spot, ideal for quick reaction volleys and counters.
  • 100% Gold Kevlar surface backed by layers of T700 carbon for a powerful, spin-friendly face with a unique, lively feel.
  • Premium black soft-cell X-Core (8 mm PP) delivers a crisp yet cushioned response for both drives and dinks.
  • 5.7" handle length provides extra leverage and space for two-handed backhands in a shorter, wider head shape.
  • Carbon forged solid-state handle with foam injection improves stability and comfort, cutting vibration on off-center hits.
  • 8.1 oz weight balances hand speed with enough mass for put-away power.
