My first ever paddle thats $100+ and it should br everyone’s first $100+ paddle if youre starting to get serious about pickleball. Spin, control is superb and power is there when you put effort into it. Easy buy!
Overall good paddle but would like a little more pop.
Great value and a good balance between power and control. Very consistent feel across the whole surface.
I would like to see a short handle version.
I've owned and tried the Pegasus and Hurache-X Jelly Beans, the Vapor and Pegasus Power, the old Control+ thermoformed paddles, and some paddles that 11SIX24 hasn't even released to the public yet—the Vapor All Court is the best paddle they make.
I don't know what magic it's got going on, but it is just so *solid*. Great, broad sweetspot with a satisfying dense feel. Feels like its built like a tank. The molded handle is especially great. More oomph than the Jelly Bean but more control and reliable placement than the Power—the VAC is predictable and does what you want every time. Calling it an "all-court" feels like a disservice because this is more like a jack of all trades, master of pretty much all of them.
It's a shame it's been all but forgotten/ignored in the YouTuber reviewer space; probably comes with the territory of sitting in the "middle" of your lineup yet being priced only $20 away from the popular Power line. I think this would have really benefited from a customer psychology standpoint of being priced at $135 (exactly halfway between the JB and Power) or even $140, but it still outperforms its MSRP relative to other options at that pricepoint.
I'm the type of person to keep 6-7 paddles in my bag from a handful of different brands, but the VAC has caused to finally feel like I've found my one "main" to the point where I've sold a lot of my other paddles and bought two backups of this one.
Such a great control paddle. Huge sweet spot. The fully molded handle feels amazing. Best company so far with PR work. Perfect birthday present!!!!
