Vatic Pro Prism Carbon Fiber 16mm - Foam Injected Walls - Includes Paddle Cover

As my first enthusiast paddle, an upgrade from a cheap fiberglass set we got from our friend, I think Vatic paddles go beyond expectations for under $100. It plays as good if not better than $200+ paddles I’ve tried side by side. The carbon face texture is the same as some of the best on the market. Most importantly great performance for someone trying to improve their game. It gives much better control with baseline drives. Absorbs volleys and provides nice touch around the net. The injected foam does a nice job dampening vibration while still keeping the pop. This is not a power paddle, but rather moderate power and good control. The light weight helps with maneuvering quickly around the net. Recently I added 2 lead weight strips to the sides of the paddle and boom....now has more power to serves and ground strokes and kick to my volleys.

Since starting my pickleball journey a couple of years ago, I have had the chance to play with a number of paddles, ranging from the cheap entry level bundle paddles to the much pricier Joola Hyperion. While each step on this paddle journey brought improvements to my game, if I am being completely honest, these improvements have been incremental at best. That was until I opted to give the Vatic Pro Prism Flash a try. This paddle gave me the "ah hah" moment I had been looking for. Almost instantly, I felt a difference in my game. My control and ball placement improved drastically. My touch and feel went up considerably. My topspin became actually noticeable. And my pop ups reduced almost instantly. After just a few matches, I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt, that I had found an excellent paddle to compliment my style of play. That all said, this paddle is not for everyone. If you are a banger...you will probably hate this paddle. But if you strive to be a touch and control player, you probably won't be disappointed! I am now on my second Vatic Pro Prism Flash, and when I wear this one out...which I most certainly will playing 5+ days a week as I currently do...I will have zero hesitation to buy a third as this paddle offers everything I want for my game at a great price.

This was a good upgrade from my wife’s $20 beginner paddle. The weight is good for her, it seems well balanced and she noticed a bigger sweet spot. Price is reasonable given the construction and quality.

These were really hyped when they initially came out. It's a good paddle, but it doesn't really excel at anything. I like the Friday Fever 102 lots better. More pop and better control.

I recently had the opportunity to try out the Vatic Pro Prism Carbon Fiber 16mm pickleball paddle, and I must say, it's a game-changer. As an avid pickleball enthusiast, I've used various paddles over the years, but this one stands out for several reasons. Performance: The first thing I noticed was the lightweight feel of the paddle, which made it incredibly maneuverable during play. The 16mm thickness strikes a perfect balance between power and control. The carbon fiber face provides excellent responsiveness, allowing for precise shots whether I’m going for a soft drop shot or a powerful drive. I found myself consistently hitting the ball with more accuracy and less effort. The foam-injected walls of the paddle contribute significantly to its overall performance. This innovative feature not only enhances the paddle's cushioning effect but also helps in reducing vibrations on impact. I experienced less arm fatigue during extended play sessions, which is a huge plus. The build quality is impressive; the paddle feels durable and well-constructed, which gives me confidence that it will last through numerous games. Given the quality and performance it offers, I believe this paddle is reasonably priced compared to other high-end options on the market. Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend the Vatic Pro Prism Carbon Fiber pickleball paddle to both recreational and serious players. Its combination of lightweight construction, excellent control, and striking design makes it a fantastic addition to any player's gear. Whether you're just starting or looking to elevate your game, this paddle delivers on all fronts. Don’t hesitate to give it a try—you won’t be disappointed!

Great at everything but not best at anything. Paddles are very suggestive and varies between players. To me it's a stiff paddle, with good grit for curves, and pop is responsive. The ball will go confidently in the direction you want it to. Large sweet spot. If you naturally have good flicks and power behind your hits you'll do fine but if you need more pop or power off the paddle you'll need to look elsewhere. To me this is a very good control paddle for the price and well made. I prefer control paddles. Looks to have held up for the month or so I used it and I dont baby my paddles. Worth the money but if you can shell out about $40 dollars more there are better options out there in the market. Paddles are getting better and cheaper, like this one. Do not be fooled by the overpriced stuff. I have played against +4.5 dupr and it makes a subtle difference in their performance playing on "high" and "low" end paddles. You just become specialized in a type of playing style and the paddle is just complementary to that. This paddle is a great entry to the "higher" paddle world.

Paddle was a replacement for my original that I bought a year ago. I am an intermediate senior player and the touch and feel are great. I use a lot of spin and this paddle allows me to do that. I found that it’s easy to control the line shots and isn’t too “hot” for my style of play at 71 years old.

Great paddle for the money. I have moved on to others but for beginner to intermediate players this is a great paddle. I have other more expensive paddles but many times come back to this one.

Thought I’d leave a review seeing how some people have experienced getting sent used paddles. I received a new one with the grip plastic wrapped and with the surface of the paddle looking brand new. Have played with it and love it!

The Vatic Pro Prism Carbon Fiber paddle is fantastic. The build quality is excellent and it feels very solid in the hand. The carbon fiber surface gives great control and spin, while still providing plenty of power when hitting stronger shots. The 16mm core offers a very nice balance between touch and stability, making it easier to place shots accurately. It also feels comfortable during longer games and absorbs vibration well. Overall, this is a high-quality paddle and great value for the price. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to improve their pickleball game.

The spin and control is exceptional on this racket. Perfect for some body new to the sport and those who prefers spin & control over power in their play.

I came to Pickleball recently at 54 after playing competitive tennis when I was in my teens and 20's. I instantly loved it. I started with a Head Extreme Pro at $94 (bargain on Amazon), which is a great paddle with a very poppy feel, decent grit and spin, I was quite happy with it. After reading endless raving reviews about this value leader Vatic Prism Pro, I had to try it. In comparison, the Vatic feels very muted, with alot more dwell time and control. The sound alone is dramatically different, softer and quieter which is characteristic of how it plays. I was initially shocked at how much softer the Vatic played, but after 10-15 minutes with it, the magic started to happen. The level of control and spin are amazing. You'll have to put a bit more effort into your ground strokes and drives, but this is balanced with better ability to place your dinks and control your shorter game. I added a Head overgrip (although the oem grip is superb) and am playing with some weights to fine tune. Overall, I'm super impressed with the Vatic and have settled in for a long haul with it. If you like control this does it well. To upgrade this paddle will take you into the $250+ range and even then, you'll be into the zone of very small improvements per dollar.
