V7 16mm

The Vatic Pro V7 16mm is an elongated paddle with a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core, known for balancing power and control. The carbon fiber face is often associated with control and feel. Weighing 8.2 oz with a 5.3-inch grip, it has a high swing weight (122), placing it in the heavier range. This may provide more power but could reduce maneuverability for some. The 16mm core thickness contributes to control-oriented play. Its twist weight of 6.8 is relatively high, suggesting good stability on off-center hits. The paddle's spin rating is 7.2/10, while drive and volley speed ratings are 5.5/10 and 4.9/10, respectively. This suggests a focus on spin generation over pure power or pop. The V7 16mm may be suitable for intermediate to advanced players seeking a control-oriented paddle with good spin potential, particularly those who prioritize stability and can handle a heavier swing weight.
