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

The saga bloom 16mm is great. It is a very forgiving paddle. It has really added spin to my topspin. Vatic customer service is awesome.

I wasn’t sure how I would like this paddle and the width took a little getting used to the first few days but after I went back to my normal prism flash, the bloom is definitely the winner. It hits harder, moves faster, feels lighter. I feel like I have a lot more control with it.

Awesome control and good power
Feels very balanced

After three nights of play id have to say it doesn't have as much plow through drive power as the VP carbon 14mm Hybrid, but on the third night I added weighted tape to the top two corners of the paddle. The tape boosted the power. The power is a pop off the paddle power. A full swing is not needed to get it deep. When you lower your swing speed to 70% or so and really concentrate (get it in the sweet spot) you are able to place the ball quite nicely. In a way its helping me get to the K-line faster because its less likely to help me blow the ball by anyone from the back court. (with no lead tape) At the K-line its fast in hand and helps you get those reaching topspin flick shots. Especially when trying to pin your opponent into the back court. Spin is up there. I got my back hand flip shot in with some heavy topspin much better on the third night of play. Better than my VP carbon 14. I have not played singles with the Bloom 14mm yet(Ill post another review when I do). A patient player can do very well with this Bloom Saga 14mm. I will continue to use it for doubles.
