Introducing the lightest and fastest member of Volkl's VSENSE family - the VSENSE 8 (285). As with the previous generation of Super G 8 rackets, this stick swings fast and delivers a user-friendly blend of spin, pop and precision. Thanks to its explosive speed and accurate delivery, the VSENSE 8 gives strong beginners, advanced juniors and intermediate level adults the tools to attack the ball with confidence. The grippy 16x18 string pattern not only makes for very easy spin, but it also adds a touch of comfort and power to the mix. As with the other VSENSE models, Volkl uses a less angular beam construction to create a more classic "Volkl feel”. The 285 also comes with Volkl's new C3 Material - a uniquely strong tri-carbon matrix used to reinforce strategic locations along the shaft and head. From the baseline this light racket cuts through the air with remarkable ease, enabling a wide range of players to add extra pace and spin to their shots. Our playtesters were particularly impressed by this racket’s accuracy on full cuts. The light weight also helps on serves where this stick accelerates powerfully through contact to deliver very easy targeting. Although it lacks the stability and plow-through of the heavier VSENSE 8 models, this racket gives improving players the spin-friendly precision of a modern player's racket without the burden of weight. A great option for strong beginners and intermediates who need user-friendly performance.
