Summary

The Vatic Pro Flash 16mm is a hybrid-shaped 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 8.1 oz with a 5.3-inch grip and a medium swing weight (115), it may suit players seeking a blend of maneuverability and power. The 16mm core thickness contributes to control-oriented gameplay. The paddle's twist weight of 6.635 and above-average twist weight rating (6.8/10) and percentile (71st) suggest good stability on off-center hits. The spin rating is 7.1/10, placing it in the 57th percentile. While the grip length is standard, the even balance point (237, 34th percentile) may enhance control. Potential strengths include a balance of power and control due to the core and face materials, and good stability. A potential weakness could be the grip length being less suitable for two-handed backhands. This paddle may be suitable for intermediate all-court players.
