The Prism Flash is their go-to paddle; with tungsten tape added, they keep coming back to it whatever else they try.

“I have both the Prism Flash & V7. The Flash is my go to paddle & I feel at home using it.”
positive

Picked up the Prism Flash after a too-powerful Holbrook but doesn't love it: they can't feel the ball well with it.

“Picked up a Prism Flash but don’t love it - I can’t feel the ball very well with it.”
negative

Played the Prism Flash: likes the handle and hybrid shape, but it needs a full swing to generate power.

“I like the handle and the hybrid shape, but I find the v-sol power too much power, but the prism flash requires full yeet.”
mixed

Their Vatic Prism Flash hybrid had a tiny sweet spot and little power; they prefer Vatic's widebody shapes.

“Had both a Prism and Vsol that had tiny sweet spots and little to no power.”
negativesmall sweet spot

Replaced after a month: their next paddle was better across the board.

“My first paddle was a prism flash , after one month I replaced it with a Honolulu j2k .”
negative

Hitting a Prism Flash with a custom weight setup won them over; they'd have bought it and stuck with it if they didn't already own so many paddles.

“then two weeks ago got to hit a prism flash and customized the weight set up for it.”
positive

Their first paddle (now their wife's): a nice sweet spot, great control and low swing weight.

“The Vatic Pro Prism Flash 16mm was my first paddle and now my wife uses it. Nice size sweet spot, great control, low swing weight.”

A year in at 4.0 they've had no urge to switch, though they'd pick the 16mm over their 14mm.

“I've had my Vatic Pro for at least a year now and have not had any interest in changing. I'm a 4.0 player.”
positive

A major upgrade over their first paddle and they still love it.

“when I bought the Vatic Prism it felt like a major, major upgrade over what I originally used. I still love it.”
positive

Almost a year of play; owns three and still reaches for it for control after upgrading.

“I’ve been playing with it for almost a year now - I actually own 3 of the prism flashes and rotate them out.”

Good even for intermediates; they still use it now and then despite nicer paddles.

“I have way nicer paddles that I use, but I still bust out my Vatic every once in a while.”
positive

A better sweet spot and grit made them noticeably better right away.

“I noticed immediately having a better sweet spot and grit on this paddle made me a lot better”

They play better with it than with a $300 Selkirk.

“I play better with this paddle than the $300 Selkirk I have sitting in my closet”
positive

Not much power, but it really helped them build their control game.

“I started with this paddle and although there’s not much power, it REALLLLYYY helped me grow in my control game.”
positivegood control

After trying many pricier paddles they keep going back to it.

“I have actually been finding myself gravitating back towards my vatic prism flash more and more. It's a great paddle”
positive

A completely different experience from the beginner Amazon set they started with.

“I love vatic pro prism flash, it is a great paddle, I used the paddle sets from amzn when I first joined the game. It is a completely experience after I switched to this paddle.”
positive

Very happy after upgrading to the Prism Flash from their first paddle.

“That did push me over the edge, and I'm very happy with my Vatic Pro Prism Flash now.”
positive

A huge step up in control over their old fiberglass paddles.

“I have a prism flash and it was a *huge* upgrade of control over the fiberglass whatever paddles I was using.”
positivegood control

Large sweet spot, but the smooth face lacks spin and it lacks power.

“My biggest complaint though is the lack of grit It's super smooth face isn't the greatest for generating spin.”

Enjoying it, especially how it soaks up pace at the net.

“when I'm close to the net I can punch at the ball and the paddle will often just kill all the ball's momentum, in a good way.”
