Hello, I'm Fred Robinson, and I'm genuinely thrilled to share the story behind body helix and our FLiK Pickleball paddles. For decades, my life has revolved around pushing the boundaries of performance – not just as a professional tennis and national pickleball player, but as a designer, engineer, and entrepreneur dedicated to creating superior athletic products. This isn't just a business; it's a lifelong passion. At its core, Body Helix, a veteran-owned US company, honors athletes with uncompromisingly high-quality, durable performance gear designed by a seasoned expert like myself.
Bottom line: The Flik Falcon is a paddle built for intermediate and advanced players who want to “power up” their game—especially those who prefer two-handed backhands. It combines maximum-legal power with impressive spin capability and surprising control for its slim profile. While I personally prefer the Body Helix F1 (since I don’t need the extra-long handle), the Falcon is every bit as powerful, earning the same max .43 PBCoR score. If you’re looking for reach, spin, and explosive performance, the Flik Falcon could be your next paddle of choice.
Bottom line: The Body Helix F1 Elongated is a beast of a paddle designed for intermediate and advanced players hungry for extra pop. It delivers max-legal power from day one, but you may need a little time to fully harness its potential. If you’re ready to take your game to the next level, the F1 belongs in your bag.
FLIK isn’t just about following the rules—it’s about rewriting them. These paddles are perfect for early adopters, paddle geeks, and players who may never play a sanctioned tournament but love to test new technologies and experiment with fresh designs. FLIK is focused on innovation, agility, and creativity, on The Power of One: YOU are that One.
Beginners, don't waste $150+! FLiK’s Sandbox paddles offer premium quality and the newest tech under $100 by skipping USAP fees you don't need.
