Flik F3 Hybrid vs Flik F3 Widebody
The Flik F3 Hybrid is a 16 mm hybrid paddle; the Flik F3 Widebody is a 16 mm widebody one. Across the 6 specs with a clearly better direction the F3 Widebody takes 3 and the F3 Hybrid takes 2. The F3 Widebody swings lighter (113.0 vs 116.0) — quicker hands at the net, where the F3 Hybrid plows through the ball instead. That is a preference, not a win. They retail for the same $190.00.
Two paddles from the same brand, so the differences are the ones the maker chose. Every number below is lab-measured, not a manufacturer claim.
