Summary
This video gives a first look at the Vatic Pro V Sol Tour paddle, which features EverGrit technology and is expected to be available for public purchase in September. The paddle shown has an orange colorway that stands out against the black background and gives it a sharp visual look.
The main focus is the face texture. EverGrit feels very rough by hand and seems similar to other high-grit paddles already on the market. A quick scratch test suggests the surface has plenty of texture, especially when compared with a smoother carbon fiber paddle. The face also produces a louder, rougher sound than a standard carbon fiber paddle.
A bounce test shows the V Sol Tour has a deep, hollow sound that is close to the 11SIX24 Power 2. By comparison, the smoother paddle sounds noticeably deeper and less crisp. That makes the V Sol Tour feel more similar to a power-oriented paddle than a quiet, soft-feeling option.
The paddle also comes in a widebody shape, which has been a favorite for the reviewer over the last few paddles. Before testing it on court, an overgrip will be added, and the next step is to see how it performs in real play.
