V-Sol Tour

First session with the V-Sol Tour: plusher than the V-Sol Pro, crazy control on hard serves and dinks, really good spin; they prefer it to the Vapor Power 2.

“Okay, I took it out to the court earlier and this thing is sweet! It feels a bit more plush than the Pro but not as muted as the Power. The control was crazy on this thing”

Plays like the V-Sol Pro with a little more pop and durable grit; quick in the hands, great drives, resets take time.

“it plays just like the V-Sol Pro with a tiny bit more pop. For $99 with durable grit, this is a paddle I would highly recommend.”

A fantastic addition to their Vatic Pro collection.

“I have the tour with tourna grip too. it's fantastic and a great addition to my vatic pro collection.”

An early ambassador unit of the V-Sol Tour felt almost smooth after one session and lacks spin a month in; plays like an upgrade, but the grit is worse than their V-Sol Pro.

“literally after one session I was feeling my paddle almost completely smooth.”

A great paddle, but the cloth test shows the centre of their V-Sol Tour already smooth versus the edges.

“No question the center space is smooth and the outer area tug at the microfiber.”

Three weeks with the V-Sol Tour Flash LH: grit holding up, good spin, but stiff and hard to control drops; prefers the feel of the Enhance MPP Turbo.

“To me it feels still stiff but the spin is good. I’m having a hard time controlling my drops right now with it.”

Hates the V-Sol Tour hybrid, which feels and weighs different from their Pro.

“got the tour hybrid and hate it.”

Their V-Sol Tour Flash came heavy at 8.3 oz and felt slow and uncontrollable, so they returned it after one game.

“it felt so slow and uncontrollable out of the box that I decided it wasn’t worth the time.”

About 8 hours with the V-Sol Tour Flash LH: no grip loss yet, more powerful than the original V-Sol Pro, still adjusting drops and dinks, but loves it.

“this paddle is somehow more powerful than the OG V-Sol Pro”

After 40–50 hours the sweet spot on their V-Sol Tour Flash is noticeably smoother than the edges, with friction down to a well-used V-Sol Pro's level.

“The sweet spot is noticeably smoother than the edges.”

Tested it, loved it and ordered one; great value.

“Yeah I tested it out the other day and it felt amazing. Insane value for a $100 paddle.”

Won a tournament with it after about 10 hours; big overhead power and good control, slight grit wear.

“I’ve put about 10 hours on it and today I won a tourney with it.”

Excellent resets and drops with power when needed; needs a compact swing.

“I love my elongated Vatic Tour. Resets are really amazing. Can also block and shape the ball very well for drop shots.”

Good for the price but too poppy for them; weight helped but made it too heavy to swing.

“For $100 it's a good paddle. Switched from my vatic pro, the Tour is just a bit too poppy and is a deal breaker for me.”

A 4.3 player who has owned seven Vatic paddles calls it their best: more power than the V-Sol Pro with the same control.

“Feels like I generate 20% more power than the vsol pro while maintaining the same level of control or even perhaps slightly better.”

Bloom shape: very even response across the face and spin that rips, but very poppy on fast hits.

“I noticed how even the hits are across the entire face. It has a massive amount of dwell on slow hits, and on fast hits it pops like a trampoine if not careful.”

Early days with the Bloom shape: outstanding spin and faster hands.

“I very recently picked up a Vatic Pro Tour Bloom. Lighter swing weight thus hand speed was the motivator.”

Loved the V-Sol Tour, which didn't bother their tennis elbow, but its grit wore off within a few games; Vatic refunded it in full.

Had a V-Sol Tour and returned it immediately over its grit durability problems.

“I had one and immediately returned it.”
