Just switched from my Legacy pro to the Vatic Prism flash. What an awesome paddle! Giving up some put away power for better control, defense, and swing weight was well worth it.
I also switched. I tried to go back to my Legacy, but it was way too poppy . I find I need control over power.
Solid. Dope to see the Sapphire and Prism up there. Was not expecting the Adidas at all. Best part about these videos is sometimes you just don't know what's out there and Chris finds it for us. That R2.16 shape... wild.
The Vatic Prism is such a steal! I've been so impressed with it and can't believe it is better than most paddles twice it's price!
Don't sleep on the a11n Zenith C7 though... surprisingly powerful for a paddle under $100. I actually like it better than the Vatic Prism Flash and about the same as Ronbus R1.16 or R3.16. Maybe I had a junker Prism Flash, but either way, a11n is better than I expected.
just wanted to let you know that my wife and I were looking for new paddles and found this video. Now we are the proud owners of 2 Vatic Prism Flash paddles. Thank you! Keep up the great work.
I have a Prism Flash and my girlfriend has a EVO XL 2.0. I absolutely love my Prism Flash. I have such an easy time with drops, resets, and dinks. The power is solid as well. I don’t feel like I’m lacking in hands battles and put aways.
How do they compare? Im stuck between the design of the evo and the prism quality. I'm newer so I'm wondering if i'd notice much difference. I just love that design for the evo 2 power
@@taranmatson8790I’m in the same boat now. The evo power looks so nice but I’m worried I’d be missing out by not getting the Vatic prism. What did you go with?
@@daktothefuture152 I went with the vatic and have no regrets! Haven't play with the evo yet but I think if its design vs performance you'd want the vatic.
Just picked up a Vatic prism. Love it.
I've been a Vatic user for a while now and was shocked that how I liked the Prism even more than the more expensive thermoform paddles. The Prism is just crazy good and beats even the $300 paddles I've used
Vatic prism is my favorite paddle I’ve ever had so far. I like it more than paddles I’ve spent $250 on
The BALLR Pro should be in the top 5. Just picked one of these up and it is an absolute steal at $89 bucks with a 10% off coupon. Not thermoformed but plays better than some of my thermoformed paddles. The control and touch are excellent and I can actually drive the ball with a ton of power thanks to the super long handle.
Also worth noting that, at least according to their website, these guys are giving away half of their profits to some pretty great charitable causes.
They were mentioned in the same slot as the #2 paddle haha. They weren’t ignored.
I said all of the honorable mentions are on par with the #2 slot.
@@PickleballStudio My bad. I knew you gave it a mention but I was just saying it deserved a spot in the list. Didn’t realize what you were saying was that the honorable mentions were interchangeable in that 2 spot! Apologies. Keep up the great vids!
@PickleballStudio Can you do a review on the Ballrpro since it got honorable mention? They are currently sold out, so people, I assume, must be liking it.
Why didn’t HISK RAV PRO made to the list? It was referred by a tournament player to us and man, what a paddle!! Excellent balance of power, control and Spin.
It is a clone of Joola Hyperion for less than half the price of Hyperion.
im gonna try it
Great video Chris! +1 to Ballr and Spartus.
I was just about to release a review on the new Ballr Pro paddle this weekend too 😊 If you're a fan of the Gruvn-16H, you'll be a fan of the paddle and its price
+1 Ballr

We bought #1 and #4 months ago. Great paddles but can’t compare with the DBD. As usual, great and useful info. Thx for the clip.
Chris, thanks for all your awesome content. I love that I feel that I can trust you, in that you are not afraid to give an honest opinion regardless of how large the brand is. I own the prism flash, and love this entire list.
Just picked up a set of OLANNY paddles set of four of amazon including balls and storage bag. Proprietary edge guards and comfort grips makes these paddles outstanding
Why didn't the XS XSPAK make the list?
i have absolutely loved my ronbus thank you for the recommendation 🙏
Great info. I have been playing with the Sapphire for a couple of weeks and really like that paddle. I feel the sweet spot might be kind of small. Its my gateway paddle to test the pickleball waters to make sure I like the sport before dropping more money on a better paddle. I have really enjoyed playing so I just ordered a Volair Mach 1 Forza yesterday since they are "in stock." Based on tracking I should have it tomorrow.
Go Vatic!!!!
Alchemy paddle is almost out and super exited for that one. 🎉❤❤❤
I am also super excited for the alchemy, but I haven’t pre-ordered yet because I don’t know if I should get the 13.5mm or the 16mm. Which one are you going to get?
@@douglasmurdoch7247 hi Douglas,
I got the flash 14 and 16 and for me the 14mm perform better for my game, I order the 13.5 (pro)
I got an Onyx Striker 4 and really like it
Both my wife and I love our Stryker 4. Super light and maneuverable. Smaller squareish handle locks up nicely in the hand and provides feedback to the brain as to paddle face angle during quick exchanges. Great paddle for about $80. Just bought a Vatic Pro Prizim. Going to try it out.
@@jamesscheuer8367now that you’ve had a chance to try the Prism, what are your thoughts?
I'd say the Hudef Apex Pro deserves more than an honorable mention due to its $75 price for an excellent Gen1 control paddle with Toray T700. It does have the dreaded exposed polymer in the handle. I added some side covers and wrapped it with an overgrip, problem solved.
Yup I agree with you on this, that paddle is definitely slept on. It's easily a CRBN 2 for almost $100 cheaper. The closest in price to it is the Bison Rampage which costs $25 more
Great video!
Hey Chris, you mentioned a couple videos ago about how toray T700 had become a bit of a buzzword and how the texture was actually soft underneath, and that it was actually the resin that was creating grit feel and spin.
My question is: how does raw carbon fiber work with this resin material (to provide better performance) vs. cheap fiber and/or old school spray on grit?
Awesome vid Chris! Just released a vid on the Spartus Gladius 16 and it’s so stellar for the price! I try reviewing paddles from non-mainstream or family-run companies and I’m so happy to see some overlap on a channel like yours :)
Perfecting timing!
Review the Volair mach 1 forza pls!
Would you say that the Vatic flash is same as Volair Mach 1 but has foam injected? I really like my Mach 1 and am curious to try the Flash. Great video
Can you do a vs. with Professor PHD against the Vatic Prism flash? They are both $100
You should try the Hisk Rav Pro, prefer it over my Prism Flash
I sure would appreciate a piece on being able to test when a paddle has given up the ghost. Since the process is slow and ongoing with regular use, it's hard to tell if it's the player or the paddle. Any definitive tests for the average player?
Do you plan on reviewing the vatic alchemy or volair forza?
I’ve pretty much decided on getting the prism flash my first paddle! Do you recommend 14 or 16mm and why? Thanks!
i got the professor phd paddle i love it
I got the Ronbus R1.16 a month or so ago and living it so far. The R2.16 looks so goofy to me.
Is the prism thermoformed, or is the foam injection something different?
R2 was supposed to be for those who prefer the 16x8 standard shape with shorter handle that some players like (and ping pong). But I've heard Ronbus may go with a traditional shape for the R2 next time instead of the rounded. Personally I think they should mimic the Joola Scorpeus shape.
What do you guys think of the niupipo entry level paddles?
what's the biggest difference between a 14mm and a 16mm paddle, specifically with the vatic prism pro flash..? New to pickle ball and i'm trying to make a decision.
Thinner usually means more power. Thicker is more control.
I got the prism v7. Love the price but there is absolutely no power. This is definitely a control paddle. Also, the swing weight on the v7 is too high. Maybe the prism flash is better. Chris, what would be a good value paddle w low swing weight, carbon fiber surface, 13-14 mm, 5-5.5 grip. I just playedd w someone’s Volair Mach 1 14 mm and liked it. More I play the more I think swing weight is important. I think sacrificing on grip length is ok for faster hands.
I don't know if anyone can help me with this. What's the actual difference in play Feel between the Vatic prism flash and just the flash?
Regular Vatic is more stiff and much more power.
Liked! My brother turned me to your channel. Did U test the Nicol P One with T 700 carbon. Very high ratings on Amazon.
Buddy please recommend a paddle for tennis elbow
The only one that has any substantial claim (and it doesn’t seem that strong) is Pro Kennex. I’d say 99% of everyone else making claims about Tennis elbow fixes in their paddle is making it up.
how about niupipo
Why is exposed polymer unpreferable?
I am desperate to see your Vatic Pro Alchemy review
What about Friday Pickleball?
Don't get the Sapphire, the surface lasts a week
Where to buy the Vatic pro that can use Yr discount code
The Vatic website
Day 10…
Just got my vatic pro prism flash today - one side is rough to the touch while the other side is smooth… is that normal?
Thoughts on 11six24 ysf?
don't know what you mean by exposed handle.
Neonic Force > Prism
There is not a pickleball paddle on the planet worth more than $50
Dumb ass 😭
"Promosm" 😡
another biased review, thanks
The A11N zenith and the REV Aria are the two best paddles under $100 bucks and it's not even close
