Volkl Vostra V8 315g
Overview
Introducing the Vostra V8 315, the heaviest model of the Vostra family. Like its V-Cell predecessor this racquet gives experienced players the tools to hit with high levels of power and spin. Although it weighs 11.6 ounces strung, the Vostra V8 315 packs a speedy sub-320 swingweight, making it feel extremely fast from all areas of the court. 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 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. Ultimately, this update is perfect for intermediate and advanced players looking for a speedy modern player's racquet with easy power and spin-friendly precision.
