After seeing and experiencing the frustration of playing against someone with a superior paddle but not being able to justify spending over £150 on one, Daryl, the new CEO of Vatic Pro, realised that there was a need for a high-quality, yet affordable paddle. Vatic Pro specialise in thermoformed carbon fibre paddles, which are known for their strength, durability and precision. Their paddles are designed and crafted with the latest technology and materials to ensure that they meet the needs of even the most demanding players.

Spencer Smith joined Vatic Pro in December 2022 and has been instrumental in helping the company design and create some of the market's leading paddles. Spencer is a veteran on the PPA tour; he has a doubles DUPR rating of 6.35 and is in the top 265 men's single players worldwide. He is currently a PPA Tour Gold Card Holder and competes in Major League Pickleball for the Utah Diamonds. Spencer plays with a Flash paddle.
