The BEST Value Paddles on the Market! Vatic Pro Prism Lineup Review | Rackets & Runners 

Because of the price it always gets credited with amazing value. The fact is, no matter the price, the paddle is just plain amazing.

Great to see R&R doing RU-vid. I worked as a stringer there in the mid 80's when Phil and Lex ran the place, and it was the leader of racquet sports (and running gear) in Vancouver even back then--great place to work with a bunch of very fit, energetic young people (oh, to be that again!)

My Prism V7 is my go-to as the performance is exceptional in regards to paddle feel, SPIN and controlled power... the ball fuzz buildup is significant and the topspin on this paddle makes the ball act likes it's possessed.. Played with thermoformed and too many balls were flying long, so this one is my choice as it matches my game perfectly... PLENTY of power on demand and it's CONTROLLED power for passing shots and resets/flicks... for under $100 US, this is THE BEST paddle for performance/price value on the market today...

What a fantastic review wow! Ty kindly!

I love my 16mm flash. My dink and drops have improved a lot

You play really well! I tried this paddle and thought it played more like a 150 - 200 dollar paddle. It's a winner for sure! 🎉

Hi Luca, I continue to enjoy and look forward to your paddle reviews . They continue to be articulate and well thought out. I am a big fan of the B & B Filth and I was wondering if you might have some advanced info on the specs and playibilty of the new Loco paddle. It sort of sounds like it might just be a different shape and weight. I'm thinking of pre-ordering one and they haven't gotten back to me yet regarding these questions. Thanks again for keeping us well informed. Bob

Really like the Vatic Prism line. It would be awesome if you guys could get the Neonic line to Canada. Some thermoform competition. Thanks for of the reviews

Excellent review, thanks. Liked and subscribed.

Awesome video, just ordered a Prism Flash 16mm. New to pickleball, coming from a tennis background. Thank you!

My flash is a 3rd shot drop monster. resets and touch shots are simply easier than anything i've played with before. My much more expensive paddles sit in my bag since I grabbed this one.

I have been playing with the Vatic pro V7 since my Selkirk Luxx handle cracked. I will say yes it is a little heavier but I have thoroughly enjoyed it and have had no complaints.

We had a Vatic Prism Flash 14mm. It started out great - really responsive and nice spin. Control was fine originally. However, after about 3 months it started to go dead - the sound even changed to more of a thud and the ball started to go everywhere but where you want it to go. I am seeing why the warranty is only 90 days. Switched to a Six Zero Double Black Diamond 14mm, which has been a fantastic paddle. Hopefully it will last longer.

Great review. I am an intermediate considering three paddles; Vatic Pro Flash ( 14m), Diadem Icon v2 middleweight and Crown 14mm black. Also a converted 4.5 tennis player with lots of heavy topspin which paddleof these three or others in the 100-120 US Dollar range would be recommended? Thx.

The Neonic paddle is thermal formed in a better deal. Plays really well too

Agree to most, however the T700 carbon face is not the same in the prism line as the thermoformed line vatics. Prism is noticeably grittier but does not translate to more spin

The prism flash is good enough for pro Augusta Ge to use

Relative newbie: CBRN2 16mm or Vatic Pro Prism Flash 16mm?

Did you prefer the flash or the V7?

And with a code, the Neonic is around $90
