JOOLA Scorpeus Pro IV (16 mm) vs Vatic Pro V-Sol Tour Bloom
The JOOLA Scorpeus Pro IV (16 mm) and the Vatic Pro V-Sol Tour Bloom are both 16 mm widebody paddles, so this one comes down to the measured numbers. Across the 6 specs with a clearly better direction the V-Sol Tour Bloom takes 6 and the Scorpeus Pro IV (16 mm) takes 0. The V-Sol Tour Bloom swings lighter (110.0 vs 111.0) — quicker hands at the net, where the Scorpeus Pro IV (16 mm) plows through the ball instead. That is a preference, not a win. The V-Sol Tour Bloom is $169.96 cheaper at $109.99.
Same shape and near-identical core thickness — a genuine either/or. Every number below is lab-measured, not a manufacturer claim.
