With the Vostra 6, Volkl updates the V-Cell 6 with a new material technology and better feel. Ideal for rising intermediate players, this 10.2 ounce racket combines raw speed with the kind of spin-friendly targeting that inspires confidence on full cuts. It should also appeal to the dedicated beginner who wants a racket that will reward continued improvement. For this update, Volkl overhauls the layup with 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, with its user-friendly combination of speed and accuracy, the Vostra 6 gives intermediate players a very user-friendly tool for playing aggressive tennis. The improved feel for 2024 is a nice bonus.
