Introducing the Vostra V9 305! With this racket, Volkl updates the V-Cell 9 with a new mold and spec profile. At 11.4 ounces strung, this update is weighted for intermediate and advanced players. It also packs a speedy sub-320 swingweight, making it easy to scramble on defense, whip up heavy spin or react quickly at net. For this update, in addition to adding a thinner, more flexible beam, Volkl overhauls the layup with an advanced material technology called Red Cell, which combines V-Cell carbon fiber with a flexible REVA resin, resulting in a more elastic construction for enhanced stability, pocketing and feel. This racket also benefits from Super Grommets, which deploys a figure eight shape to optimize string movement for greater energy transfer and snapback (think spin). To help with comfort, this racket's VTEX butt cap and REVA handle system have been meticulously engineered with dampening compounds to deliver a smoother, more arm-friendly feel at impact. This model also features the return of Volkl's V-Engine technology, which deploys an inverted yolk to extend the length of the center mains for greater power and comfort. Ultimately, this is an impressive update by Volkl. Experienced players looking for a speedy and precise weapon will love this one.
