Body Helix X4 16 mm & 14 mm Pickleball Paddle Review 

Glad you reviewed this paddle as its perked my interest, but there are very few reviews on it. Thank you

Loved the review thanks for covering this paddle.

This paddle is very understated, should be heard more. Kevlar surface is the trend now, I own a Kevlar blend paddle, I believe pure carbon fiber has its own benefit, which is crispy and responsive feel. A lot of people are after power, but to most of us, a balanced paddle leaning to control and being forgiving is all we need, X4 is such a paddle, it doesn't excel in any category but still in top tier of power, control, spin and sweet spot except I wish the pop could be a little more but it's double-edged sword, too much pop hurts control. A good feature of this paddle, often neglected, is that it's very stable with least vibration, maybe due to 11-layer construction. The quality is excellent. The cover is the best I've seen, faux leather with fleece lining. The paddle is a little heavy but in good way, very solid feel, you can see the quality in details from the surface, edge guard to handle. After 2 months of playing, it doesn't lose much of the spin, the paint of the logo doesn't even chip any little.

Thanks for the review. Is the handle length really on 5.25 inches? Sometimes manufacturers measure differently and even though 5.25 is the stated length it is still completely usable for a 2 handed backhand.

Looks like they saved money/production cost by designing the surface with no carbon fiber on one side, due to the design.
