As someone who’s spent a lot of time with the Vatic Pro Saga line—especially the Saga Flash 16mm and the Saga Bloom 14mm—I’ve come to appreciate different paddle builds for different styles of play. Lately, I’ve also been loving the Friday Fever, which brings that newer 3rd gen thermoformed feel to the game. So I was curious: is there a paddle out there that blends the best of all these worlds?
Enter the 11six24 Vapor Power.
If the Saga Bloom 14mm and the Friday Fever had a baby, it would be the Vapor Power. This paddle takes the spin and maneuverability of the Bloom and combines it with the powerful, poppy response of the Friday Fever’s 3rd gen build. And the result? A paddle that performs beautifully in both power and finesse play.
Here’s what I loved about it:
Great Power – Delivers pop and punch without needing added lead tape.
Sweet Spot & Feel – The response is solid across the face, making it reliable during fast hands battles and resets.
Spin Friendly – The surface grabs the ball well, giving you the confidence to shape your shots.
Lightweight Yet Stable – This is one of the few paddles that doesn’t feel like it needs extra weight added.
Comfort Grip – The handle shape and grip texture are my favorite yet—super comfortable even after hours of play.
Fast Shipping – Ordered and in hand quickly, which is always a bonus.
There was a minor vibration on off-center hits, but it was subtle and not something that took away from the experience.
Price-wise, this paddle sits at a mid-range level, but it feels premium. For what it offers in performance and feel, the value is excellent.
If you’re looking for a paddle that gives you both power and control with the advanced feel of a 3rd gen thermoformed design, this is it.
