This oversize racquet specializes in comfort and power
Volkl adds another chater to one of its most comfortable and powerful racquets. It's called the Vostra V3, and it combines plush comfort with ultra easy access to power. Like the V-Cell model it replaces, this racquet is ideal for dedicated beginners and rising intermediate players. Defined by its luxurious 110in² head, the V3 packs a very forgiving feel. It also has an extended 27.8" length, making it perfect for the player who wants to supercharge their serving game. For this update, 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 racquet 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 racquet'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. All in all, this is a great option for the improving player who wants a speedy oversize racquet with enough power to finish points with a bang. The plush comfort is a nice bonus.

Pleasant surpriseFirst Volkl racket I've owned, after playing with Head Speed and Yonex Ezone. Was looking for a lighter frame, but with good stability (Yonex Ezone 100L was light but no stability at all). 300g racquets were good, but were not forgiving enough for me, leaving too many short balls. But this racquet is very comfortable, easy to swing and powerful. I use poly strings, which makes it more controllable. I picked this racquet based on specs only, as I don't know there are many other racquets like this out there. Only a few weeks in, but my favorite racquet so far and have been able to win more matches than before. This is truly for an “improving intermediate“ player, like me.
Great RacquetI am a beginner and have been playing for a year. This racquet works well for me!
