Which Flick Weight is best for you?
🧠 Finding the Right Flick Weight
Choosing the right Flick Weight is about more than just paddle specs — it’s about how you play with it. The perfect weight depends on your swing speed, paddle shape, and play style, which makes weight selection a personal choice.
These recommendations are based on swing weight data and common paddle characteristics, but they’re not one-size-fits-all. A setup that works for someone else may not feel right for you.
Bottom line:
Most people play better when adding weight to the handle, if that isn't your experience, try a different weight, or simply remove the Flick Weight! We make it simple so you can focus on your game.
🔹 3g–9g
Flick Weights are best for paddles with Swing Weights <116
For players using fast-hand paddles with lower swing weights or balanced designs.
Perfect for resets, finesse, and fast reaction time at the net.
✅ Recommended if your paddle already feels light and quick.
Paddle Examples:
-
CRBN Tru Foam 2x – Excellent balance and fast hand speed, light swing weight (113).
-
Bread and Butter Invader – Lower swing weight (116) and quick off the bounce.
-
Joola Scorpeous – Classic speed paddle with a low swing weight (114).
🔸 6g–18g
Flick Weights are best for paddles with Swing Weights between 117-120
For all-around paddles that benefit from added punch or paddle stability.
This range helps increase consistency, counterweighting, and solid drive power without slowing you down too much.
✅ Great for aggressive players who still want control.
Paddle Examples:
-
JOOLA Ben Johns Perseus Pro IV – Popular paddle with good weight balance and feel (117) swing weight.
-
CRBN True Foam 3x – Lighter Swing weight (119) than the 1x but heavier than the 2x.
-
Proton Flamingo – Swing weight (119) Mid-Range Weights add power and fee while not affecting swing weight or hand speed.
🔴 9g–28g
Flick Weights are best for paddles with Swing Weights > 121 Swing Weights
For head-heavy or power paddles that benefit from counterbalancing or max plow-through.
This category works best for elongated paddles or players who want to absorb pace and hit through the ball.
✅ Great for drive force, stability, and heavy resets.
Paddle Examples:
-
CRBN Tru Foam 1x – Heaviest swing weight (123) of the 3 CRBN Tru Foams.
-
Paddletek Bantam TKO-CX – Already high swing weight (122); benefits from smart tuning.
-
Ronbus Ripple V2 R1 – Heavy swing weight (123) Elongated paddle, good candidate for handle weighting.
🟠 Copper: The Classic Feel
Our original Flick Weight material — copper is known for its smooth feel, rich color, and balanced performance.
It’s slightly bulkier than tungsten, but that makes it feel incredibly solid in the hand. It’s available in both Classic Packs (3g, 6g, 9g, 18g) and Premium Cuts (6g, 9g, 15g) with a polished shine and crisp edges.
✅ Ideal for players who value feel and style
✅ Our 4 pack offers largest weight range.
✅ Handmade and locally assembled
🟣 Lead: Simple, Bendable, Affordable
Lead weights are ultra-thin, flexible, and super budget-friendly. They come in one 7g size — just enough to boost paddle balance without adding bulk.
Plus, the soft metal bends easily to fit tightly in your paddle’s end cap.
They come in neon colors (yellow, pink, green, blue) so you can even match them to different paddles in your bag.
✅ Great for players with multiple paddles
✅ Our lowest-cost option
⚠️ Lead is toxic if ingested — don’t eat it, and wash hands after handling
⚫ Tungsten: The Pro Line
Tungsten is the densest metal we use — allowing us to pack more weight into less thickness. These are the thinnest weights we make (as slim as 0.4mm!) and come in 6g, 9g, 15g, 18g, 22g, and 28g.
They’re sleek, blacked-out, and made for serious paddle tuning.
✅ Best for competitive players
✅ Thinner profile = more comfort and control
✅ Offered in single packs or Light/Heavy 3-packs
