Vatic Pro V-Sol Tour Elongated 16mm verdict
The V-Sol Tour Elongated combines a floating EPP/EVA foam core with Evergrit at $109.99. The comparison video frames it as the more offense-focused choice against Spitfire. All Paddle DNA scores are editorial estimates, not our laboratory measurements.
Vatic Pro V7 Hybrid verdict
Thermoformed construction at a mid-tier price. It gives up very little to paddles at twice the cost and is the value pick of the 2026 releases.
The verdict
Comparable swing and twist measurements are not verified for both paddles. DNA scores are estimates, not laboratory results; compare construction, fit and price rather than a numerical inertia winner.

Each call below re-weights the Paddle DNA traits that matter at that level, so the winner can differ from the overall pick.
