The Vatic Pro Saga Flash 16mm LH 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 8.2 oz with a 5.75-inch grip, it caters to players who may prefer a longer grip for two-handed backhands. Its swing weight of 120 puts it in the high range, suggesting more power potential but potentially less maneuverability. The 16mm core thickness may enhance control.
With a drive speed of 55.7 mph and a spin of 2028 RPM, this paddle might appeal to players prioritizing power and spin generation. The moderately high twist weight of 6.2 may offer decent stability on off-center hits. While the drive speed rating is high (8.1/10), the volley speed rating is more moderate (5.6/10). This suggests the paddle may be more oriented towards groundstrokes than volleys. The longer grip and head-heavy balance could benefit intermediate to advanced players seeking power and spin in their game. However, the higher swing weight might present a challenge for players prioritizing quick exchanges at the net.
