The Vatic Pro V-SOL Power Flash 16mm is a denser, more controlled version of the popular V-SOL Pro. For most players, the V-SOL Pro is the better pick — but the Power has a specific audience it serves well.
PRH The Verdict
The denser, more controlled Flash.
A heavier, more aggressive take on the V-SOL Pro — built for swing-through players on a budget. After thorough on-court evaluation, the Vatic V-SOL Power Flash is a strong fit for players who prefer a dense, powerful feel over maximum liveliness — see category scores below for power, control, spin, and feel.
If you're comparing it against other foam-core paddles, it's one of several great foam core paddles we've played this year.

Performance Scores
PRH On-Court Feel
The Power version feels noticeably denser and more muted than the Pro. Drives have real weight behind them and the ball comes off with a heavier, more penetrating flight. At the kitchen it's a different story: less snap, more of a push. The Power needs a bigger swing to activate — shorter compact strokes don't produce the same energy.
Performance & Testing
The Vatic V-SOL Power Flash went through our standard on-court protocol - drills, rec play, and at least one tournament match. Scores reflect consensus feedback, not a single reviewer's opinion.
Grit & Durability
Raw T700 carbon provides solid initial bite. After 12 hours it showed typical smoothing. Indented foam holds up well structurally — no delamination or core issues observed.
Who It's For
Players who prefer a dense, controlled feel and are comfortable with a bigger swing.

Pros
