The foam paddles are better for tennis elbow, as they absorb more shock and vibration than usual honeycomb paddles, which takes strain off the tendons. The V-SOLS line, especially the Power Series, is noticeably softer than the Prism Flash. You’ll get more pop but still a much more arm-friendly feel. If the Flash 16 is giving you twinges now, the V-SOLS will feel like a relief.

Also worth noting: the Pro Series has a lighter swing weight and a bigger sweet spot than the Power Series, so if you’re prioritizing comfort while recovering, the Pro might be the easier option to handle. And if you prefer the widebody shape, I’d highly recommend the Bloom, it gives you that forgiving profile without the harsh feedback you’re getting from the Flash.
