hybrid
The Body Helix X4 is a hybrid shape 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 5.25-inch grip, it falls into the midweight category. The swing weight is 116, categorized as medium, potentially offering moderate power. The 16mm core thickness may enhance control. This paddle might be suitable for intermediate to advanced players seeking a blend of power and control. The combination of core and face materials may provide a unique feel, while the hybrid shape could offer a larger sweet spot. The spin rating is 8.3/10, drive speed rating is 7.6/10, and volley speed rating is 7.2/10. High spin (2099 RPM) and good drive speed (55.2 MPH) are potential strengths. The shorter grip length may not be ideal for players preferring two-handed backhands. The twist weight is 6.6, suggesting decent stability on off-center hits.
