The Vatic Pro Alchemy 16mm has the highest quality TORAY T700 raw Carbon Fiber and is engineered to help you perform at the highest level on the pickleball court. The unique enhanced airflow channel above the throat creates faster swing speed and promotes more "feel" during play, allowing greater control on the court. The paddle's curved tip makes it easy to handle and maneuver, while its elongated grip ensures room for two-handed backhands. With the renowned thermoforming technology, we provide a dominant yet sleek paddle. Carbon fiber is stronger, more resistant to deformation under stress, and more resistant to fatigue and wear than fiberglass or graphite.
