Vatic Pro V-Sol Pro, V-Sol Power, Ronbus Quanta & LUZZ CANON Reviewed
For years, the “power paddle” category has been a luxury club. If you wanted real pace, pop, and offensive upside, you were usually staring at price tags north of $200 — sometimes well north. That’s finally changing.
Toward the end of 2025, Vatic Pro, Ronbus, and LUZZ all dropped paddles around the $100 mark that don’t feel like “budget compromises.” These aren’t just good for the money paddles — they’re legitimate power tools that can hang with premium-tier options.
Across these lines you’re getting modern foam-core constructions, multiple shapes, tunable balance points, and real on-court performance. That combination simply didn’t exist at this price point before.
Vatic Pro: The Most Complete $99 Power Lineup
Vatic Pro currently offers two distinct power paddles at $99, each targeting a slightly different type of power player:
-
V-Sol Pro (Blue) – EPP floating foam core surrounded by an EVA foam ring
-
V-Sol Power (Red) – EPP foam core with circular flex indentations for added pocketing
What really separates Vatic Pro from most competitors is optionality. Both models come in three shapes:
-
Bloom (widebody)
-
Flash (hybrid)
-
V7 (elongated)
On top of that, the hybrid and elongated versions are available in short- and long-handle configurations. At this price, that level of shape and handle choice is almost unheard of.
How They Play
The V-Sol Pro delivers instant power and pop. It’s stiff, lively, and explosive — especially at the net — without feeling uncontrollable. Swingweights are on the lower side, so the paddle feels quick, but twistweight is strong enough that it doesn’t feel flimsy.
The V-Sol Power takes a different approach. It’s still a power paddle, but the feel is softer and more muted. You get slightly more dwell time on dinks and resets, and the power ramps up when you swing rather than firing instantly. Think controlled, on-demand power instead of pure pop.
Out of the box, Vatic Pro paddles are some of the most forgiving power paddles in this price range, and they scale beautifully with light customization.
Ronbus Quanta: Ultra-Light, Ultra-Tunable Power
The Ronbus Quanta line also lands at $99 (after code) and targets players who like speed and customization.
Construction-wise, Quantas are similar to the V-Sol Pro — an EPP foam core with an EVA foam perimeter — but Ronbus adds two TPU inserts near the throat to help dampen vibration.
Ronbus offers five shapes, which is great once you understand the lineup:
-
R1 – Elongated, curved top
-
R2 – Widebody, squared top
-
R3 – Elongated, squared top
-
R4 – Hybrid, curved top
-
R5 – Widebody, squared top
The standouts here are the R1, R2, and R4, which strike the best balance between swingweight and twistweight.
How They Play
Out of the box, Quantas are very light and very fast. Hand speed is excellent, but stability and plow-through are limited until you add weight. Once customized, though, these paddles transform. With tungsten tape, you can build oversized sweet spots and still keep swingweight under control.
If you like dialing in your setup, the Quanta becomes a serious weapon. If you don’t like tinkering, Vatic Pro is the safer plug-and-play option.
LUZZ CANON: Raw, Direct Power for Aggressive Players
The LUZZ CANON sits squarely in the same $100 power category but brings a slightly different personality to the table.
Where Vatic and Ronbus lean into tunability and multiple shapes, the CANON is more straightforward and aggressive. It’s built for players who want direct feedback, fast rebound, and easy depth without overthinking setup.
How It Plays
The CANON has a firmer, more immediate response than the V-Sol Power and feels less hollow than the Quanta. Power is accessible and linear — you don’t need massive swings to generate pace — but it doesn’t feel overly springy or unpredictable.
At the net, it’s quick and decisive. From the baseline, it rewards clean contact with heavy drives. The sweet spot isn’t as forgiving as a weighted V-Sol Pro, but it’s more stable out of the box than an unweighted Quanta.
Think of the CANON as the “grab it and rip it” option in this group.

Shape Selection (Quick Guide)
-
Widebody – Most forgiving, fastest hands
-
Hybrid – Best all-around option
-
Elongated – Maximum reach and leverage, least forgiving
None of these lines have “bad” shapes — it’s purely preference and play style.
How They Compare to Premium Paddles
These $100 paddles legitimately compete with:
-
Selkirk Boomstik ($333)
-
JOOLA Pro IV ($280)
-
Gearbox GX2 Power ($252)
-
Bread & Butter Loco ($180)
You give up some refinement and brand polish — but not meaningful performance.
Should You Spend More?
Maybe — if you’re chasing a very specific feel or maximum pop ceiling. But for the vast majority of players, these paddles deliver 90–95% of premium performance at half (or less) the cost.
Bottom Line
For the first time, the power paddle category has affordable options that are genuinely worth recommending.
-
Want instant offense? V-Sol Pro, Quanta, or LUZZ CANON
-
Want power with control? V-Sol Power
-
Want to tinker and tune? Quanta
-
Want to swing freely and attack? CANON
This isn’t budget power anymore. It’s just power — finally priced right.
