When you step onto the court, the difference between average and elite often comes down to milliseconds and micro-adjustments. That’s where the Power Flick Trainer comes in — a training paddle designed by Vince Van Patten, former tennis champ and lifelong competitor, for players who want more than just reps — they want results.
At the center of its breakthrough design are three magnetic resistance weights, a carbon fiber face, and a comfort grip handle — a trio of features that will supercharge your flick and elevate your game.
What Makes the Power Flick Trainer Different?
Unlike standard paddles, the Power Flick Trainer is built for targeted resistance training:
-
-
3 magnetic weights snap onto the carbon fiber face for adjustable load and balance.
-
Each weight placement targets different muscle groups in the wrist and forearm.
-
The comfort grip handle allows you to train longer without fatigue or slippage, ensuring consistency in every drill.
-
This isn’t just about getting stronger — it’s about teaching your body to move faster and with more control, even under pressure.
How to Use the Magnetic Weights
The paddle includes three removable magnetic weights, which can be used in combinations depending on your training goal.
🛠 Beginner Setup
-
-
Use the paddle without any weights to get a feel for the flick motion.
-
Focus on soft control, paddle angle, and muscle isolation.
-
🧲 Core Strength Setup
-
-
Attach all three magnetic weights evenly spaced on the paddle face.
-
This creates full-face resistance, challenging both your wrist speed and paddle stability.
-
Ideal for overall strength, balance, and endurance training.
-
🧭 Targeted Reflex Setup
-
-
Try different weight configurations:
-
Top-heavy (all weights near the top) to simulate drag and build upward flick power.
-
-
Each layout slightly alters the paddle’s behavior — forcing your hands to adapt and improve micro-adjustment reflexes.
Training Drills for the Flick
With your paddle set up, here are drills to maximize your results:
🧱 Wall Flick Drill
-
-
Stand 6 feet from a wall.
-
Hit rapid flicks using only wrist movement.
-
Add weights for resistance; train in 45-second sets.
-
Switch hands for ambidextrous control.
-
🎯 Precision Flick Drops
-
-
Place a target on the opposite side of the kitchen line.
-
Flick short, controlled shots to land on target.
-
Helps build accuracy and touch.
-
⚡ Speed Rounds
-
-
With a partner at the net, rally with quick-fire flicks only.
-
Use weights for 1–2 minutes, then remove and repeat — you’ll feel an instant increase in paddle speed.
-
Bonus: Comfort Grip Advantage
Training harder usually means discomfort. But the Power Flick Trainer includes a comfort grip handle, designed to reduce wrist strain and increase paddle control during extended drills.
No slipping. No blistering. Just smooth, grounded training — even during your most intense reps.
The Result? Hands That Know Before Your Brain Does
The Power Flick Trainer isn’t about gimmicks. It’s about building neurological speed, hand precision, and elite-level instincts through resistance and repetition.
Whether you're solo drilling, warming up before a match, or rebuilding your flick mechanics from the ground up — this paddle delivers tangible results fast.
“I wanted something that teaches your hands before your mind can catch up,” says Van Patten.
And now, you have it.
