Features
- 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
- Raw T700 carbon fiber produces more spin and longevity than fiberglass or graphite counterparts, as well as lower-grade carbon fiber, designed with the everyday player in mind.

As my first enthusiast paddle, an upgrade from a cheap fiberglass set we got from our friend, I think Vatic paddles go beyond expectations for under $100. It plays as good if not better than $200+ paddles I’ve tried side by side. The carbon face texture is the same as some of the best on the market. Most importantly great performance for someone trying to improve their game. It gives much better control with baseline drives. Absorbs volleys and provides nice touch around the net. The injected foam does a nice job dampening vibration while still keeping the pop. This is not a power paddle, but rather moderate power and good control. The light weight helps with maneuvering quickly around the net. Recently I added 2 lead weight strips to the sides of the paddle and boom....now has more power to serves and ground strokes and kick to my volleys.

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!

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.

These were really hyped when they initially came out. It's a good paddle, but it doesn't really excel at anything. I like the Friday Fever 102 lots better. More pop and better control.

This was a good upgrade from my wife’s $20 beginner paddle. The weight is good for her, it seems well balanced and she noticed a bigger sweet spot. Price is reasonable given the construction and quality.

Great at everything but not best at anything. Paddles are very suggestive and varies between players. To me it's a stiff paddle, with good grit for curves, and pop is responsive. The ball will go confidently in the direction you want it to. Large sweet spot. If you naturally have good flicks and power behind your hits you'll do fine but if you need more pop or power off the paddle you'll need to look elsewhere. To me this is a very good control paddle for the price and well made. I prefer control paddles. Looks to have held up for the month or so I used it and I dont baby my paddles. Worth the money but if you can shell out about $40 dollars more there are better options out there in the market. Paddles are getting better and cheaper, like this one. Do not be fooled by the overpriced stuff. I have played against +4.5 dupr and it makes a subtle difference in their performance playing on "high" and "low" end paddles. You just become specialized in a type of playing style and the paddle is just complementary to that. This paddle is a great entry to the "higher" paddle world.

I love this racket! I have been using an old non fancy racquet for years and was completely fine with my play- until I tried this one. It is light weight and so easy to maneuver- highly recommend it!

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. Cheers!!!
