Vatic Pro V-Sol Tour Bloom vs Vatic Pro V-Sol Tour Elongated

The Vatic Pro V-Sol Tour Bloom is a 16 mm widebody paddle; the Vatic Pro V-Sol Tour Elongated is a 16 mm elongated one. Across the 6 specs with a clearly better direction the V-Sol Tour Elongated takes 3 and the V-Sol Tour Bloom takes 1. The V-Sol Tour Bloom swings lighter (110.0 vs 117.0) — quicker hands at the net, where the V-Sol Tour Elongated plows through the ball instead. That is a preference, not a win. They retail for the same $109.99.

Two paddles from the same brand, so the differences are the ones the maker chose. Every number below is lab-measured, not a manufacturer claim.

Static weight 8.1 oz vs 8.1 oz — a few grams of tape moves swing weight far more than static weight, so either can be pushed toward the other.
