  • Our PRISM series is a holistically designed, reimagined paddle that is the benchmark for an affordable carbon fiber pickleball paddle. With foam edge walls, our paddles make it easy to reset, place your shots, and finish points while ensuring durability and a nimble feel. Paddles have polyurethane inserts to reduce shock absorption and give players more feel. The PRISM series is ideal if you think thermoformed paddles are too powerful but traditional sandwich-style paddles are too soft.
  • Whats different about our PRISM series? The PRISM series is characterized by our unique cold-molding approach that adds control and touch without relying on intense heat application. With less raw power than our original series, the prism more than makes up for it in control and plushness. We have added foam-injected walls using a non-heat-intensive process that still gives the paddle a unibody construction. With this, the PRISM series combines cutting-edge design with reimagined versatility
  • The greater cross-sectional area, which allows it to distribute loads more evenly and resist deformation more effectively. This means you will have controlled power throughout the paddle, even on mishits.
  • USAPA Approved and used by top PPA and MLP professionals

Love, love, LOVE this paddle!
Color: Flash 16mm
Since starting my pickleball journey a couple of years ago, I have had the chance to play with a number of paddles, ranging from the cheap entry level bundle paddles to the much pricier Joola Hyperion. While each step on this paddle journey brought improvements to my game, if I am being completely honest, these improvements have been incremental at best. That was until I opted to give the Vatic Pro Prism Flash a try. This paddle gave me the "ah hah" moment I had been looking for. Almost instantly, I felt a difference in my game. My control and ball placement improved drastically. My touch and feel went up considerably. My topspin became actually noticeable. And my pop ups reduced almost instantly. After just a few matches, I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt, that I had found an excellent paddle to compliment my style of play. That all said, this paddle is not for everyone. If you are a banger...you will probably hate this paddle. But if you strive to be a touch and control player, you probably won't be disappointed! I am now on my second Vatic Pro Prism Flash, and when I wear this one out...which I most certainly will playing 5+ days a week as I currently do...I will have zero hesitation to buy a third as this paddle offers everything I want for my game at a great price. ... show more

If you want a "nice paddle", this is it. [Prism Flash]
Color: Flash 16mm
Review Image by Brandon True
Short Version: If you are a new or new-ish player looking for a "good paddle", this is it. It's objectively as good as paddles 2-3x as expensive and has a feel that will help teach the game whether coming from table tennis, tennis, or no prior racket sport experience. Long Version: I played pickleball 8-9 times with some cheaper paddles I bought on Amazon, enjoyed the game, but figured a nice paddle wouldn't make a huge difference. Then, I met a really good player who played in the US Open. He had a very nice paddle that retailed for about $200. I used it for about 10 seconds and my mind was blown. 2 hours of games with him later, and I decided 2 things: 1) I suck at pickleball, and 2) If I got a good paddle I'd still suck, but at least I could have a good tool to improve with. I played table tennis somewhat competitively during college, but never "real" tennis. I'm comfortable with light, grippy paddles, and a spinny game, so I wanted a paddle to match that. I also didn't want to blow my life savings on one of those crazy $250-300 paddles that some pickleball bro said is the best thing since sliced bread. After researching around 4-5 sites, this paddle always came up as a solid paddle for "control and spin", and almost always THE paddle for under $100. The semi-pro I played with recommended I go for a carbon fiber paddle since it's the latest technology in pickleball paddles, and this seemed like a good buy, so I went for it at 10 PM on a Sunday Night. At 7:30 Monday morning, a new paddle was waiting at my door. So naturally, my dad and I hit the court at 7:35. WOW. First impressions, it comes in a nice paddle sleeve that feels premium. The paddle is very light. The surface is carbon fiber, so very grippy on the ball. The bounce feels and sounds soft. If you've played with random paddles your friends gave you, they make a "clonk" sound. This makes a soft "thunk". There is no dead spot around the edges, just a tiny one near the tip of the paddle. It took 15-20 minutes for me to get used to how responsive the paddle is. I couldn't blast serves at 60 MPH, it's a soft paddle, but I could get remarkable control on short shots and slice serves. Spins felt very intuitive to me as a table tennis player. I'm still learning not to rely on wrist action in this game though... it's a learning curve! But, after that 15-20 minutes of warm-up, I soundly thrashed my dad and decided that I had ascended to Pickleball Pro with 20 minutes of practice. Then I made one of the dumbest decisions of my life. I bought my dad the same paddle. It arrived within 6 hours, the same day. The next morning, we played again, and he kicked. my. butt. This paddle magically makes you better. My dad was a tournament tennis player as a kid. He wanted a paddle that focused on power, but pickleball is all about soft shots that open up to an attack - you rarely win by always hitting fast, long shots. This paddle (definitely a soft, control paddle) has been great for him because he's had to learn to hit dinks and drop shots. He can't just rely on his insane backhand drives from the baseline. Also, in our first 2 days of playing for about 3 hours, never ONCE did we go for a shot and hit the "dead spot" on our paddle. With our old, cheap paddles, it happened probably 1-2x PER GAME. It's hard to explain how much consistency and control this paddle gives you vs. whatever cheaper ones you are using now. By day 2, we noticed our paddles were getting really dusty - a lot of dirt was getting trapped in the grippy carbon fiber surface. (See the picture - that's after about 90 minutes of playing on an outdoor court) We got a couple of carbon fiber erasers on Amazon ($10 each?) and they really helped clean our paddles and keep them nice and grippy. If you're investing $100 in a paddle, might as well drop another $10 to care for it properly. After a few play sessions, my dad and I are both incredibly happy with this paddle. For my table tennis background, it's as comfortable as a light, spinny paddle. For his tennis background, it's a consistent paddle that forces him to learn the control needed in pickleball. And all our noob friends who have tried our paddles have started salivating instantly. If you kinda enjoy pickleball, a nice paddle makes the game WAAAAY more fun, and gives you a lot more expression of skill, or suck, as the case may be. This is a fantastic option if you're considering buying a nice paddle. It is forgiving and consistent for new players, and teaches good habits to players with crossover experience. At this price point, it feels better (to my not-very-experienced hands) than some 2x-3x the $$ PrEmIuM paddles. If you can feel the difference, you aren't the type that would be reading a random review about this paddle on Amazon... Get it, a carbon fiber eraser to clean it, destroy your dad/friend/wife/boss, and enjoy the ego boost until they get one themselves. Edit, a few months later: Well, I'm officially addicted to Pickleball now. I've gotten private coaching, played multiple times per week at all my local parks, achieved a tournament rating somewhere in the late intermediate range (3.8-4.0), and still love this paddle. I'm editing this because I'm buying one for my girlfriend to learn the game on. Every single good player I've met at this point all agree that this paddle is THE one to buy if your budget is anywhere south of $150, and always a very solid option even if you have a super high budget. I'm starting to actually notice how this paddle compares to other "super nice" ones. First, it's not good at super fast shots. There are MANY other paddles that have more "pop" or hit fast. That's not a problem for me at all, but might become one in the future. This paddle is exceptionally good at slowing down fast shots and hitting drops (shots that "drop" just as they pass the net). Many players have started commenting on my drop shots, and I'm realizing my paddle really helps that playstyle. If you want to hit the ball SUUUUPER hard AND you've learned good form with a soft paddle like this, you may want an upgrade. If you learn the game on this soft paddle and want a maximally spinny paddle or paddle with a "pop" feeling, you might want to upgrade. If you want a soft paddle that will let you slow down and play a controlled game, low-key this might actually be your paddle for life... but regardless, start with this one. It will teach you the game way better than a paddle that automatically gives you a boost in power/spin/pop. Basically, even after becoming "one of those pickleball bros", I still love this paddle and highly recommend it. It's the perfect price and style for a new player. Even as I've gotten more advanced and pickleball takes over my personality, I'm very happy with it. Good stuff Vatic! ... show more

So Much Awesomeness at this Pricepoint... it's a Steal!!!!!
Color: Flash 16mm
Such an Awesome Paddle for the price! This is my 1st true upgrade paddle after having used a basic introductory paddle for about 4 to 5 months. I started to develop some "Tennis Elbow" because of how much more work and stress my arm had to undergo while using said paddle. My friend already owned this Vatic Pro Prism Flash 16mm Paddle and they allowed me to do a little test run during a session. I IMMEDIATELY felt the difference using this paddle: lightweight, lots of cushion/shock absorption (less stress on my elbow), good control... it even has some decent Pop/Power! (definitely not as much as other paddles more designed for Pop/Power... but decent) Basically, my arm doesn't have to work as hard anymore and the stress on my arm is GREATLY reduced. The paddle does most of the "heavy lifting" for me! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this Vatic Pro Prism Flash 16mm Paddle and would highly recommend it to anyone who is graduating from a beginner level and wanting to get more serious with their Pickleball Game and/or who is looking to make their 1st serious paddle upgrade purchase without breaking the bank.

grip wears fast.
Color: Flash 16mm
With any paddle, theres a learning curve. This thing is great overall for the price, I got it on sale for about $70 I think. The grip is starting to separate after just a few uses, enough that I notice it, so I will likely get an overgrip or regrip it in general but this is a good paddle

Great advancing beginner-intermediate paddle, for a great value. The paddle gives excellent control and spin. The power is less than 14mm paddles, but is still adequate. Highly recommend.

Elevate Your Game! The Vatic Pro Prism Carbon Fiber Paddle Delivers
Color: V7 16mm
I recently had the opportunity to try out the Vatic Pro Prism Carbon Fiber 16mm pickleball paddle, and I must say, it's a game-changer. As an avid pickleball enthusiast, I've used various paddles over the years, but this one stands out for several reasons. Performance: The first thing I noticed was the lightweight feel of the paddle, which made it incredibly maneuverable during play. The 16mm thickness strikes a perfect balance between power and control. The carbon fiber face provides excellent responsiveness, allowing for precise shots whether I’m going for a soft drop shot or a powerful drive. I found myself consistently hitting the ball with more accuracy and less effort. The foam-injected walls of the paddle contribute significantly to its overall performance. This innovative feature not only enhances the paddle's cushioning effect but also helps in reducing vibrations on impact. I experienced less arm fatigue during extended play sessions, which is a huge plus. The build quality is impressive; the paddle feels durable and well-constructed, which gives me confidence that it will last through numerous games. Given the quality and performance it offers, I believe this paddle is reasonably priced compared to other high-end options on the market. Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend the Vatic Pro Prism Carbon Fiber pickleball paddle to both recreational and serious players. Its combination of lightweight construction, excellent control, and striking design makes it a fantastic addition to any player's gear. Whether you're just starting or looking to elevate your game, this paddle delivers on all fronts. Don’t hesitate to give it a try—you won’t be disappointed! ... show more

Good Distance and grit
Color: Flash 16mm
I like how far the ball goes with this paddle, the shape of it is very interesting and I like the grit. The grip was good enough for 4 hr play days. So far it's taking some time to get used to but the aim on it is accurate and it's easy to use. It has better balance for impact especially since that was my biggest issue with the cheaper paddles affecting my game performance poorly . The size is great with the cover it came with. Overall I have seen others with this paddle and I would recommend to others as well. ... show more
