    Who each paddle is for

    Vatic Pro Prism V7 16mm

    Best for 3.5+ players who prioritize control and reach who play with an aggressive, planted swing. The elongated shape extends your reach at the kitchen line, the 16mm core gives you a soft touch window, and the raw carbon face bites on spin shots.

    Playing style: control

    Wilson Fierce Pro 13

    Best for advanced power players (4.0+) who can manage a hot face who play with a balanced two-handed/one-handed mix. The widebody profile gives you a generous sweet spot, the 13mm core delivers high pop with a tighter touch window, and the face surface keeps spin honest without overdoing it.

    Playing style: power
