Which Vatic Pro Pickleball Paddle Should You Buy? (2026)
Last updated: October 23, 2026
Tour Bloom is the default at $99.99 with PRH. Skip the older Pro Flash unless you already own it.
Elongated is the most popular shape, for reach and power: Tour Elongated at $99.99 with PRH ($10 off $109.99).
Tour Flash is the hybrid Tour, with a curved top. Tour Flash FT is the new flat-top version of the Flash: USAP approved, but Vatic has not published its price yet. Tour Bloom is the widebody and the Vatic we send most doubles players to. V-SOL Pro Flash is the older hybrid at the same $99.99: do not confuse it with Tour Flash. Shop vaticpro.com with our link and paste PRH.

30-second tree
Elongated: Tour Elongated at $99.99.
Hybrid: Tour Flash at the same $99.99. Say Tour Flash out loud. It is not Pro Flash.
Most doubles players: Tour Bloom, $109.99 → $99.99 with PRH. Widebody Evergrit, the Vatic we actually send people to.
Already own Pro Flash: keep it. Do not buy Tour Flash thinking it is an upgrade of the same paddle.
Flat-top hybrid: Tour Flash FT, new in October 2026. Same Evergrit face and 16mm foam as the Tour Flash, with a squared-off top edge in place of the Flash's curved top. USA Pickleball approved it on October 21, 2026. Vatic has not published a price, weight or handle length yet, so the Tour Flash is the hybrid you can order today.
