Vatic Pro Prism Flash
The Vatic Pro Prism Flash is a standard-shape paddle from Vatic Pro, built with a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core and a T700 raw carbon fibre face. Static weight is 7.9oz, grip circumference 4.125", handle length 5.3". MSRP $90 USD.
Cult favourite at sub-$100. Carbon face delivers more pop than peers in tier. Not on Amazon US — Vatic Pro is D2C-first; the Prism Flash colourway is sold direct at vaticpro.com only. The base Prism Carbon Fiber 16mm is on Amazon as B0BYMGYVTR but is a different (non-Flash) SKU.
