F3 Triple Core

Coming from a tennis background, I tend to hit the ball near the top end of the face. Same goes for the pickleball paddle. Since the F3 has a higher balance point (head heavy), that's where the energy is being transferred. And combined with a higher twist weight on the hybrid model and varying density around the face, the result is controlled power on most shots. Spin is excellent. The smaller grip size with perforated wrap also aids in handling the paddle and feel. With the price below $200, not including discount, this is a great value.

This paddle is just amazing! My go to paddles for the last couple of years have been Honolulu Pickleball. I was getting ready to replace my J2FC+ with the new J2CR, but it was only available for pre-order. While I was waiting, I started seeing reviews for the Flik F3, and it sounded really great. At the amazing price of $126 I figured I’d give it a shot. I’m so glad that I did! Somehow it manages to give both better control and more pop along with great spin. It feels light in the hand and is extremely maneuverable. Oh, and the sweet spot is huge! This one is definitely a keeper!

A truly awesome paddle! This is my first full foam core paddle and I was expecting a significant learning curve coming from honeycomb core paddles. What I didn't expect was how smooth the transition was from first stroke. Every ball strike felt smooth, controlled, deliberate. I have only played a few matches and still have some technique to learn but I haven't been this excited about a new paddle since my very first "next level" paddle.
