Volkl updates the V-Cell 8 (300g) with a new material technology and a cosmetic that pays homage to Volkl's original racket design from the early 1970s. Named the Vostra 8 (300g), this stick gives intermediate and advanced players the tools to play aggressive tennis. The open 16x18 string pattern not only provides ultra-easy access to spin, but it launches the ball with a higher trajectory for effortless access to depth, making it easier to keep your opponent in check. Compared to its predecessor, the Vostra 8 packs a beefier swingweight, giving it more stability and put-away power while still remaining fast enough for aggressive net play. For this update, Volkl overhauls the layup with an advanced material technology called Red Cell, which combines a 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. Ultimately, the Vostra 8 (300g) is the perfect weapon for big swinging players who like loading the ball with pace and spin.
