Summary

The Vatic Pro Alchemy 13.5mm is an elongated paddle with a 13.5mm polypropylene honeycomb core and a carbon fiber face. Its elongated shape may offer an extended reach and potentially a larger sweet spot. Weighing 8.3 oz with a 5.5-inch grip, it falls into the mid-weight category. The swing weight of 115 is considered medium, suggesting a balance between maneuverability and power.

The carbon fiber face is often associated with control and feel, while the polypropylene honeycomb core is known for a blend of power and control. This combination may provide a versatile playing experience. The paddle's spin rating is 5.4 out of 10, placing it in the 30th percentile. Its twist weight rating is 4.2 out of 10, falling within the 32nd percentile. This suggests that the paddle's resistance to twisting on off-center hits is relatively lower compared to other paddles.

This paddle might be suitable for intermediate players seeking a balance between power and control. The moderate swing weight could benefit players who prioritize maneuverability while still wanting access to power. Players looking for a paddle with high spin potential might want to consider other options.
