The Flash paddle is the optimal intersection of Power, Grit, and Control. We have implemented the highest quality TORAY T700 raw Carbon Fiber and engineering to help you perform at the highest level on the pickleball court.

Using a single piece of 360-degree wrapped heat-pressed TORAY T700 carbon fiber, we provide a dominant yet sleek paddle while still maintaining a competitive price. Carbon fiber is stronger, more resistant to deformation under stress, and more resistant to fatigue and wear than fiberglass or graphite. Even through rigorous play, your Vatic Pro paddle will maintain its integrity, grit, and strength. 

Please note: we work to accommodate all custom weight requests. However, due to increased demand and limited inventory, exact weights are not guaranteed. 

For international customers: please note that shipping costs do not include any additional taxes/duties that may be required. See our Shipping & Returns page for more info.

My favorite paddle so far. Feels good and hits great. Just feels natural. Sounds great when I smash it in the sweet spot. Definitely recommend to all pickleball players!

From Flash to Prism Thermoformed.

Played with Prism Flash for around 8 months before trying the Thermoformed Flash. Both are 16mm version. Both paddles are great paddles. The Flash is better for power shots. The extra pop is noticeable difference. Little flicks and roll shots have that extra pace that leads to more errors from your opponents. It is easier to pop ball up compared to Prism but overall the power is a plus. I used weight on Prism but see no need with the Flash. Slightly lighter paddle does seem a touch quicker in hands battles. Spin seems similar on both paddles. I would recommend both paddles. If you like being able to put ball away with authority definitely go with the Flash. If control of the soft shots is your #1 priority the Prism is probably the racket for you.

Provides lots of power!

Provides the power this 76 year old can’t supply all by himself. Touch feels fine, also, for a 14 mm paddle.

Vatic pro flash 16mm

I like this paddle a lot! I bought the backpack bag with it and love that as well! TONS of space for everything you need to put in it. Quality feeling material as well. I AM NOT A PRO. However, I dont struggle with resets, drawing spin or shot placement with this paddle. To a degree, everyones experience will differ due to experience "obviously", but I don't have an issue with the power it puts out either. Its not overwhelming by any means, but it does have a little more power than other paddles I've used up to this point. I really enjoy this paddle. I'd recommend to anyone I know.
