Flash Carbon Fiber (14 & 16mm) (Includes Paddle Cover)

***promo code johnnyb for $10 off***
The 16mm flash is quick in the hand with a great blend of power and control. If you've played with the prism line this paddle will have much more pop without sacrificing too much control and still maintaining good spin.
The 14mm is very poppy but not uncontrollable by any means. Although I prefer the 16mm I still like the 14mm for singles.

I’m really enjoying my new Vatic Pro Pickleball Paddle.
I have more control than my old paddle and fell that it has improved my game.
Thank you so much for your quality product.

I recently received my 3rd Flash paddle. Needless to say that I really like this paddle very much. I ordered my first one just over a year ago. After playing with it for roughly 6 months, I ordered my 2nd Flash to have as a spare. I noticed that the grit on my primary paddle has worn down significantly. So, I switched to the new paddle and kept the original for a backup. My wife decided that there was something wrong with her SLK EVO Hybrid (roughly a year old). I gave her my old paddle to try and she liked it. I purchased my 3rd to have for a spare. When comparing the grit on the second and the 3rd paddle, I was pleased to notice that the grit on the 2nd paddle has held up much better than on the 1st paddle. I think that the new paddle will be able to stay in the bag for awhile since paddle #2 still has a lot of life left in it. I was pleased the find that the paddles seem to be getting better rather than worse like most companies would do. Great Job Vatic Team!!!

While I still believe the Vatic Prism-Flash (the slightly lower-powered, non-thermoformed version of this paddle with a "softer" feel) is the better choice for 90% of advanced beginner/early intermediate players, this is still a great option for those who need more power in their game. The trade off vs. the Prism is some slight loss in control, but if you have good touch and feel that is completely negligible—and the extra power is a must.

I'd recommend this paddle for 3.25+ rated players. I tend to default to the Prism (purple) when I'm playing with groups of varied skilled level and am not trying to blow anyone off the court, and use the standard Flash (orange) when I'm playing at my skill level and want more power on my drives and overheads.

Great price-to-value and price-to-performance ratio, as with all Vatic products.

I own multiple thermoformed paddles and this paddle is by far the king of value. Don’t bother spending over $180 on other brand’s paddles. This is the only paddle you need to unlock your potential
