The Vatic Pro Saga Flash 16mm SH is a hybrid-shaped pickleball 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, it falls into the midweight category. The 115 swing weight is considered medium, meaning moderate effort is required for swings. The 16mm core thickness contributes to control-oriented gameplay.
This paddle may be suitable for intermediate to advanced all-court players due to its balance of power and control features. The combination of core and face materials could offer a blend of power and touch. The 88th percentile power rating suggests strong drive potential. The moderate swing weight and twist weight (6.51, 62nd percentile) may provide stability without sacrificing maneuverability. The grip length may not be ideal for players who prefer two-handed backhands. While the paddle demonstrates a high spin rating (7.8/10), its pop rating is lower (5.6/10).
