Vector XL

The Versix Vector XL is an elongated pickleball paddle with a 15mm polypropylene honeycomb core. This core material is known for its balance of power and control. The paddle face is constructed of carbon fiber, a material often associated with control and feel. Weighing 8.3 oz with a 5.75-inch grip, the Vector XL may appeal to players who prefer a slightly longer grip, potentially beneficial for two-handed backhands. Its swing weight of 121 is considered high and may provide more power, though it could require more effort to swing. The paddle's twist weight is 6.79.

The Vector XL's elongated shape could offer a larger sweet spot. Given its specifications, this paddle might be best suited for intermediate to advanced players seeking a blend of power and control. The carbon fiber face and polypropylene core may offer a balance of these characteristics. Its high swing weight could generate more power on drives, while the carbon fiber face may enhance touch and control. However, the higher swing weight might also reduce maneuverability for some players. The manufacturer's listed spin is 1986 RPM, drive speed is 55.6 MPH, and volley speed is 34.9 MPH. These metrics rate highly in power (86th percentile) and moderately high in pop (67th percentile) and spin (65th percentile).
