Vatic Pro V-Sol Tour Flash 16mm Pickleball Paddle Review

MATT'S VERDICT

The V-Sol Tour is Vatic's EPP foam line, three shapes at $109.99, and it's the one with the durable grit face, a new surface they call EverGrit. The Power is the densest and softest, the Pro stiffens up and moves toward hollow, and the Tour is the stiffest of the three with the most hollow feel.

I've played every paddle on the top 10 list, and this V-Sol Tour is the best by far. It is crisp, not soggy like a lot of Gen 4. It has power that needs adjusting to, and there isn't a paddle out there with this level of spin and durability. For $100, it is in a class of its own.
