4.0 Pickleball player John Haining recently won the Southeast doubles league title using a Body Helix X5 kevlar paddle. 

John has played Pickleball for over 5 years and the X5 replaces his previous paddle, he says "I've been playing with the kevlar X5 for 3 months now and love it. It's replaced my previous Selkirk which cost twice as much"

The Body Helix X5 pickleball paddle is designed with advanced technology and high-performance materials to elevate your game. Known for its innovative construction, the X5 offers a combination of power, control, and comfort, making it a standout choice for players looking to enhance their performance on the court.

One of the key features of the Body Helix X5 is its unique design, which incorporates a flexible polymer core. This core provides a good balance between power and control, helping players generate consistent shots with precision. The X5's 16mm core thickness helps dampen vibrations, offering a softer feel with a more forgiving response, which can be especially beneficial during longer games or for players prone to hand fatigue.

The paddle face is constructed with a textured fiberglass material, designed to increase spin potential. This texture allows for enhanced grip on the ball, making it easier to execute both aggressive and strategic spin shots. Whether you’re executing a topspin or slicing the ball for a sharp angle, the X5 provides the necessary control and response.

Ergonomics are also a significant aspect of the X5’s design. The handle features a comfortable, non-slip grip, which ensures maximum control even during intense rallies. The handle length is ideal for a variety of grip styles, whether you prefer a more compact grip or a longer reach for two-handed shots.

Weighing between 7.7 to 8.2 ounces, the Body Helix X5 is considered a mid-weight paddle, providing a good balance of power and maneuverability. It’s well-suited for both competitive and recreational players, offering versatility across different play styles. Overall, the Body Helix X5 pickleball paddle is a premium choice for players seeking a blend of power, control, and comfort on the court.
