PRISM (All Shapes) (14mm & 16mm) (SH & LH) (Includes Paddle Cover)

The paddle is great ! I love tbe bloom shape and its light weight. The paddle came in nice packaging despite the paddle being late. It was well packaged.

Great Paddle

I needed an upgrade from a starter paddle. The Vatic Pro Prisim Flash has been a revelation for my game, allowing for a stronger soft game, and all around attack ability. Highly recomend it to anyone looking for their first"serious" paddle.

Vatic Pro Prism Flash 16mm (Elongated Handle)

I've tried quite a few paddles, and I keep coming back to the Vatic Pro Prism Flash 16mm with the elongated handle. What I love most about this paddle is the low pop and incredible control. If your opponents like to hit hard drives, this paddle makes resets feel effortless. Blocks, drops, and soft game shots are where it shines. The ball doesn't spring off the face unexpectedly, which gives me a ton of confidence at the kitchen line. For my style of play, I don't need the extra power of something like the Ruby or other higher-pop paddles. I'd much rather have consistency and control. The handle shape and size are perfect. I have large hands, and I absolutely hated the massive handle on my 16mm Selkirk Vanguard—even with the thinnest Hesacore grip available. The elongated handle on the Prism Flash feels just right. I currently use the elongated Hesacore grip, which is slightly thicker, and even with that added size it still feels natural and comfortable rather than awkwardly oversized. The biggest downside is surface durability. The used paddle in the photos has only about two months of use, playing roughly 2–5 times per week, and I'd estimate it now has about 50% of the spin/grit it had when new. By comparison, my Six Zero Ruby took around nine months to reach a similar level of wear. The Prism Flash is still very playable after the grit wears down, but the spin drop-off is noticeable. If Vatic Pro ever released a version with significantly improved grit durability—even if it cost an additional $50—I'd buy it immediately. This paddle checks every other box for me. Pros: Outstanding resets and control Low pop inspires confidence Excellent against hard hitters and bangers Great touch around the kitchen Perfect elongated handle shape and size Comfortable even with a Hesacore grip Affordable compared to many premium paddles Cons: Surface grit/spin wears down relatively quickly Players looking for effortless power may prefer something with more pop Overall, I'll continue buying these paddles and have already recommended them to several people. For players who prioritize control, resets, and a comfortable elongated handle over maximum power, the Vatic Pro Prism Flash 16mm remains one of the best values in pickleball. Rating: 4.5/5 The only thing keeping it from a perfect score is the durability of the spin texture. Fix that, and this paddle would be nearly impossible for me to replace.
