Two Paddles, Two Personalities w Similar Power | Loco vs VSol Pro V7 LH

 

In this comparison, I break down the Bread & Butter Loco vs the Vatic Pro VSol Pro V7 LH, focusing on feel, power, control, stability, and overall playability. The VSol Pro V7 LH shines with control and confidence on drives, while the Loco brings a firmer, poppier response with great stability thanks to its heavier build. Two solid paddles with very different personalities.

Paddle Discounts & Gear I Personally Use

If you’re looking for discounts, below are paddle companies and gear I actually trust and use. You can use code TechYeti where noted.

Paddles

  • Vatic ProVSol Pro V7 LH

  • Luzz PickleballTornazo, Inferno, Pro Cannon (listed in my order of preference)

  • Warping Point PickleballNeon
    Gen 3 hybrid feel, similar to the Vapor Power but not as poppy

  • Friday Pickle101 Elongated
    (Affiliate code: Jonathan40142)
    My first Gen 3 elongated paddle. Still a solid paddle I pull out for fun.

  • Enhance PickleballDuo Elongated
    Great feel with strong power and pop. More muted on soft shots, but a really satisfying pop on drives.


Training Equipment

  • Dink Master 3.0 – Use code TechYeti
    I wasn’t sure about this at first, but it’s become a must-have for at-home training. If you have the space, I’d honestly recommend this over buying another paddle.
