FLiK F3

By The Kitchen Team | Sep 18, 2026

Our take on the F3 Elongated

The FLiK F3 is constructed using a triple-layer foam core. The paddle uses three different types of foam – high density, mid density and low density – and those layers work together to produce a reliable response across the face.

The F3 produces high power on big swings like third-shot drives and overheads, but has a more plush feel on softer shots like dinks and drops than many other foam paddles. It comes in elongated, hybrid and widebody shapes.
