The Prism Flash is the paddle that put Vatic Pro on the map as a value benchmark. It uses a raw Toray T700 carbon face with hot-pressed texture, a 16 mm honeycomb polymer core, injected foam walls and unibody construction. The Flash hybrid shape measures 16.2 x 7.7 inches, with a standard 5.3-inch handle and a 4.125 grip. It is a control and touch paddle, less explosive than thermoformed ones, with plenty of spin.

How the RR Score was calculated

CriterionWeightScore
Specs65%66
Approval from players35%65

The RR Score is not yet a precise figure. It summarizes the data we have today (specs and reviews) and changes as more information comes in. A low score does not mean the racquet is bad and does not reflect its technical quality: often it is just missing data or reviews. The specs combine several sources and may have discrepancies: check the manufacturer's website and the store where you buy.
