The Prism series is Vatic Pro’s answer to the question “can a carbon fiber paddle be affordable?” It uses a raw T700 carbon face for grit and spin, a 16 mm core and foam-injected edge walls that increase stability on mishits.

Vatic Pro cold-molds the Prism instead of thermoforming it, which the brand says adds control and touch at the cost of some raw power. That makes it a strong match for players who win points with dinks, drops and resets. Listed under $90 at the time of writing.
