Vatic Pro

Vatic just keeps iterating perfection. This paddle is the perfect blend of power and control. The grit for spin is unparalleled and will remain sharp for longer with the new improved surface. Great plough through on drives, soft in transition for resets, and finishing pop on volleys. Hard to believe they've made such a perfect paddle, but they have.

Best paddle out there right now, especially in the $100 budget category. Grit is insane, spin is crazy. Just an upgraded V-sol Pro.

Give it some time once you first try it! The pop tones down after it breaks in a bit.

More powerful than the pro and crazy grit

Saga (14mm & 16mm) (Includes Paddle Cover)

V-Sol Tour with Evergrit (16mm) (Includes Paddle Cover)

No break in needed, paddle has great control and power when needed. The grit is outstanding, it has to be the best paddle from Vatic Pro!

Advancements made in the Tour seems to have improved compared to the Pro.
Grit is very good!

I love the V-Sol Tour 's Value and Performance. It plays like my V-Sol Pro, but with better spin. I love the Tier I durability of Evergrit for less than $100! The big names in pickleball are over charging.

Love this paddle, so glad VP developed a longer lasting grit

Power and spin on top of great control!!!

The spin is like nothing I’ve ever played with before. Super nice construction. Feels and plays like a 200-300 dollar paddle. Super happy

A great all around paddle, very forgiving with amazing spin! Good job Vatic!

If this review was helpful, PICKLELAB gets you $10 off. I've tried most of the recent sub-$200 "lasting grit" paddles—including the Ultre Power 2 (40 hours), P1 (30 hours), Spitfire (10 hours), and Quanta Pro (10 hours—and thus far the V-SOL has been my favorite of the bunch. It's most comparable to the Power 2, but where my Ultre has a harsh, board-like feel, the V-Sol Tour is nicely snappy but with a subtle plush feeling to it. It's a bit cliche at this point, but I feel like it really nails the "controlled power" feel that a lot of people are looking for. It slots right into the low-to-medium range for power and low pop compared to other power paddles; you aren't going to smoke anyone off the court with this, but it's easy to keep balls in, and it has plenty of put-away power. The Evergrit is frankly kind of insane for a $100 paddle—it feels really similar to Hexgrit, but because the V-Sol Tour is a softer paddle, you really get the sensation that it grabs onto the ball. My only real ding against the paddle is the sweetspot is just average, but weight fixes that.

Time will tell if this runs into any durability issues like cracking around the edges or separating edgeguards that I've dealt with from other foam and "lasting grit" paddles, but this far, this is an easy recommend for the 3.0-4.0 crowd. I also think this is more playable out of the box than the original V-Sol Pro, so I'd feel much more comfortable recommending this to people coming from the Prism who aren't sure whether they'll like foam. I got the Flash standard handle and would definitely buy another one.

I bought the Bloom. Sweet Spot is huge, spin is nuts, power is definitely there and even more with weight. Then it passed for Tier 1 grit. It's the first paddle in this price range to do it. And at $99 after code LAFON it's the absolute best value out there.

Long time player, first time writer. I'm a 4.5 player and manage 90-minutes of court time 3-4 days each week. I bought my first Vatic paddle (Flash Carbon 16mm) almost three years ago and have since added the Saga V7 SH, and a V-Sol Pro Flash LH to my collection. I was excited to received my V-Sol Tour Flash LH paddle 10 days ago and have been playing with it since.

I was very happy with my V-Sol Pro but having a grittier, longer lasting surface was exactly the upgrade I was hoping for. To me, the durability of the grit will be as important as the added bite the new Tour brings to my game. There is definitely a bit more power there, when you want to release it, which I did not feel with the Pro. I also feel the Tour offers more control on resets.

Getting the same Flash LH model as my Pro, I expected the setup of my Tour to be similar-ish. After multiple adjustments over the first week of play, I was surprised how much of a difference the new core and surface had on the swing weight and balance point. After a few more tweaks, I am already starting to enjoy the upgraded performance and the potential for more power, control, and of course ... spin.

I highly recommend V-Sol Tour as an excellent upgrade for fellow Vatic Pro players. For anyone 'new' to Vatic Pro, the quality, performance, and value of their paddles in unbeatable! Your search is over - welcome to Vatic Pro!
