Vatic Pro

Yes, just arrived and of course I tried it today! At first I had to adapt to the new centre of the paddle. The total area is smaller than the VP Saga V7 I was using before but it is offering an additional inch or so of handle length that is more inviting to try the Twoey. But yes, you need to do the work to get the extra spin rpm - it is not a given. But when you get it, it’s so satisfying. The most impressive feature is the sweet spot in combination with the grip inserts (claimed to reduce shock and help with the tennis elbow) - it doesn’t matter where in the head was the contact with the ball; the gentle feel in your hand is almost the same everywhere! Weight: 8.1oz. Although similar, when swinging it also felt lighter than the V7. The core foam has a different sound though. It is like a hollow wood block. I’m getting used to. In summary, this one is a very happy customer so far.

Love my new racket!!

I got this paddle as my first real paddle, upgrading from wood. The power and control are incredible and I definitely recommend it for beginners!

loveeee

Short Sleeve Performance Tee

V-Sol Pro (16mm) (Includes Paddle Cover)

I'm in between sizes, and sized up. definitely more of a slim or fitted cut, than regular or loose fit. great breathable material.

Love the elongated handle, great addition to the collection.

Very good control paddle. Very light. Reccomend adding weights near the neck to increase sweet spot.

Awesome paddle

Having the luxury to receive this paddle before its drop date gave me ample time to test, tune and get a feel for the TOUR. Initial thoughts: A stiffer ride than the PRO with plenty of face dwell time due to evergrit enhancement. More pop and slightly more power reminiscent of the fully thermoformed OG V7 that put Vatic on the map. Coming off of the V-Sol PRO I found the TOUR to be not as forgiving, however, after a bit of adjustment and time, the TOUR settled right in and shined in the soft game similar to the PRO as it should being a foam core. I use the BLOOM shape for its NVZ swing weight so power is subjective as with all traditional wide bodies but it was absolutely there when called upon. The spin retention is right up their with other top tier paddles and only time will tell how it holds up, however, for under $100 (10BOOSTPB) you will not find another brand that plays like like Vatic even at some of the highest price points. Hard game or soft, the TOUR can play it. Note: I tried adding weight across the board from neck-tip on the BLOOM and found the neck to be perfect for me keeping the paddle quick and balanced. Find your sweet spot!
