Volkl Tennis Racquets

About

Völkl is the racquet brand serious players find after they've tried everything else. Built in Germany and never chasing volume, Völkl frames are known for a softer, more connected feel than the stiff power sticks that dominate the wall at big-box stores — which is exactly why they have such a loyal following among club players with sensitive arms and one-handed backhands. We stock the complete Vostra line. That matters more than it sounds. Most retailers carry two or three Vostra frames scattered among a dozen other Völkl models. We carry V4 through V10, including all three weights of the V8 and both weights of the V9 — so you can pick your frame by how it plays, not by what happened to be in stock. Which Vostra is right for you? Model Unstrung weight Best suited to Vostra V4 Light Improving players who want easy power and a forgiving swing Vostra V6 Light–medium Club players adding control without losing free depth Vostra V7 Medium All-court players who want balance over specialisation Vostra V8 285g 285g Faster swings, lighter frame — good for doubles and quick hands at net Vostra V8 300g 300g The default modern player's weight.

A heavier frame is more stable against pace and more forgiving off-centre, but it punishes a late swing. A lighter frame is easier to whip through the ball and easier on the shoulder, but it gets pushed around by a big hitter. Under 290g — juniors, doubles specialists, players returning from injury, or anyone whose arm complains after a long match. 290–305g — where most 3.0 to 4.5 c
