Vatic Pro V-Sol Tour Elongated 16mm
The Vatic Pro V-Sol Tour Elongated 16mm is a 16 mm elongated pickleball paddle weighing 8 oz, with an Evergrit long-lasting grit face, listed around $109.99.
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.
From Vatic Pro
Vatic Pro lists the V-Sol Tour Elongated at $109.99: 16mm floating EPP foam core with EVA perimeter, Evergrit surface, average 8.0 oz, 4.125-inch grip circumference and USAP approval. Its Elongated spec image gives 16.5 × 7.5 inches, a 5.5-inch grip and 8.05 oz; the text average is used here. That image also lists swing 116 and twist 6.35 without units or measurement protocol, so comparable catalog inertia remains unverified. Exact Elongated variant: 62851120038047. This is not the V-Sol Pro, Flash or Bloom.
