I’m an equipment junkie - I’ve owned and played over 120 paddles, my rating is 4.0. Vatic paddles in my opinion, dollar for dollar are the best paddles I’ve played to date, this includes 5 custom paddles made to my specs. I could go into great depth on the way vatic paddles play, however there’s no need their website describes the paddles quite well - their information is not market hype, just straight forward honest information. Great paddles - I recommend them to anyone interested in buying a paddle.
