Selkirk Boomstik Elongated vs Vatic Pro V-Sol Power V7
The Selkirk Boomstik Elongated and the Vatic Pro V-Sol Power V7 are both 16 mm elongated paddles, so this one comes down to the measured numbers. Across the 6 specs with a clearly better direction they split 3–3. The V-Sol Power V7 swings lighter (117.0 vs 121.0) — quicker hands at the net, where the Boomstik Elongated plows through the ball instead. That is a preference, not a win. The V-Sol Power V7 is $223.01 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.
