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 Pro 16 verdict
The standard-shape sibling to the Prism Flash. Same face, wider body — a better first thermoformed paddle for players who miss the middle.
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.
