Summary

The Vatic Pro Saga V7 SH is an elongated paddle with a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core and a carbon fiber face. This combination may offer a balance of power and control. The paddle weighs 8.1 oz and has a 5.3-inch grip. Its 120 swing weight is considered high, meaning it may require more effort to swing but could generate more power. The 16mm core thickness is often associated with enhanced control. The carbon fiber face is known for its potential to provide control and feel. The elongated shape could offer a larger sweet spot and increased reach. With a drive speed of 55.9 mph and a spin of 2034 RPM, this paddle might appeal to players who prioritize power and spin. The moderately high twist weight of 6.6 may contribute to stability on off-center hits. While the higher swing weight could be advantageous for power, it might also reduce maneuverability for some players. The shorter grip length may not be ideal for players who prefer two-handed backhands. This paddle could be suitable for intermediate to advanced players seeking a blend of power and control in an elongated paddle shape.
