X5

The Body Helix X5 is a standard-shaped pickleball paddle with a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core, known for balancing power and control. The Kevlar face material is less common than graphite or fiberglass. Weighing 8.1 oz with a 5.7" grip, it's suited for players who prefer a slightly longer grip, potentially beneficial for two-handed backhands. The 116 swing weight (medium) suggests moderate maneuverability and power potential. The paddle's 7.23 twist weight and high twist weight rating (7.2/10) indicate good resistance to twisting on off-center hits, potentially improving control and stability. The 16mm core thickness further enhances control-oriented characteristics. This paddle might be suitable for intermediate all-court players seeking a balance of power and control with added stability. The longer grip may also appeal to players using a two-handed backhand. While the Kevlar face may offer unique playing characteristics, its performance compared to more common materials is less established.
