Vatic Pro Saga 14mm Paddle Review: Flash, Bloom, V7, and LH Models Compared

How I measured this

Every number in this review is one I measured with my own equipment and instruments. Swing weight on a Briffidi SW1, twist weight on a Briffidi TWA2, static weight on a precision balance scale, serve speed and punch volley speed with a radar gun, spin from a high-speed camera at over 500 frames per second, surface roughness with a stylus roughness tester. It's the same setup for all 595 paddles I've measured.

Saga Bloom 14mm: Swing weight 108.8 · Twist weight 6.75 · Spin 2,119 RPM · Static weight 7.74 oz · Serve speed 59.8 MPH · Punch volley speed 38.1 MPH

Saga Flash 14mm: Swing weight 112.7 · Twist weight 6.2 · Spin 2,095 RPM · Static weight 7.83 oz · Serve speed 59.7 MPH · Punch volley speed 38.6 MPH

Saga Flash LH 14mm: Swing weight 115 · Twist weight 5.9 · Spin 2,098 RPM · Static weight 7.88 oz · Serve speed 60 MPH · Punch volley speed 38.6 MPH

If a metric is missing above, that paddle hasn't been through that test yet. Full measurements for each paddle are on its paddle page. My method is written up on the methodology page, and every paddle I've measured is in the paddle data study.
