For two years now, my go-to paddle has been the original 16mm thermoformed Flash. I’ve had three of them and LOVE them - the power, the control, the spin rate. I have tried the 14mm version, the 16mm Prism Flash, 16mm Saga Flash, and the new V-Sol Power. Nothing approached the original 16mm Flash…until now. My launch edition V-Sol Pro plays out of this world. It actually seems to have at least as much power, if not more, than the V-Sol Power, and it is a LOT easier to control. The Pro delivers great spin that translates into accuracy and control. The sweet spot feels enormous, and there is very little twisting in off-center hits. Power from the V-Sol Pro Bloom is greater than that of the original Flash, yet even more controllable. The Pro Bloom is now my competition paddle, and I will be purchasing my second (backup) Pro Bloom shortly. Two of the ladies with whom I play loved my Pro Bloom so much, they asked me to order one each for them as soon as they became available, again. Vatic Pro ALWAYS launches great paddles…this, in my opinion, is their best, ever.
