The 101st Airborne veteran quietly remaking pickleball paddles

Hi there,

I want to tell you about a brand that most players outside North Carolina haven't heard of yet. Great paddles. Even better timing, because their current offer is genuinely one of the best we've seen.

FLiK Pickleball is engineered in Charlotte, NC. Founded by Fred Robinson, a 101st Airborne veteran who spent years building Body Helix, a compression brand trusted by serious athletes. When Fred turned his attention to pickleball paddles, he brought the same no-shortcuts approach. Every paddle personally designed and tested.

They don't make a lot of noise about themselves. But the paddles speak clearly enough.

Our reviewer Taylor recently spent 10+ hours with their flagship paddle, the F3 Triple Core. His verdict: 5.0 out of 5. Perfect scores for control and forgiveness. He compared it favourably to paddles costing $100 more. We test hundreds of paddles a year. Most never make the cut, but the F3 is currently featured as the top all-court paddle on our best paddles guide.

The F3 uses a triple foam core, something no other paddle on the market does. What that means in practice: a huge sweet spot, exceptional dwell time, and the kind of consistency that makes your resets, drops, and drives feel a lot more deliberate.

At $190 it’s already great value for a paddle that competes with anything at $280. But here’s the thing, use the link below for an exclusive 10% off. Plus, if you also enter the code GasMeUp at checkout, you’ll get an instant $50 rebate.

That brings the F3 down to $126, over a third off!

If you’re on the lookout for a top-tier all-court paddle at a genuinely unbeatable price, make sure you take a look.

Catch you on the courts,
–Brandon

P.S. Also, this is really cool! Post a photo holding your FLiK paddle at a gas station on your socials with #GasMeUp and @flik.pb tagged on Instagram, and you're entered into a weekly draw for a $50 gas card.
