Volkl delivers a more explosive version of the iconic C10 Pro
Introducing the Volkl C10 Evo! With this racquet, Volkl delivers a faster, more explosive version of its most iconic player's racquet. Like the original C10 Pro, this stick packs a 20mm beam, buttery feedback and a surgical 98 square inch head. It also has a relatively open 16x19 string pattern for easier access to spin. Technologies include Super Grommets which increases the power and vibration dampening of the string bed. Comfort is further enhanced by Volkl's time-tested Twin Absorber Handle System along with a V-Tex butt cap, which uses a silicone polymer to soften the feel of impact. On the court this stick combines impressive speed with pinpoint accuracy and outstanding ball feedback. Although lighter than the standard C10 Pro, this racquet offers impressive stability against pace. Intermediate and advanced players looking to combine modern speed with classic control and feel will love this one.

Amazing racquetAn exceptional racquet. Very stable and complete in all its strokes. It moves very easily and has an unforgettable touch, typical of classic Volkl racquets. Perfect weight. Congratulations Volkl, you are finally making racquets like in your origins again.
Volkl C10 EVOThe C10 EVO is an outstanding racquet. No vibration at all due to the dampener embedded in the handle. Additionally it is a lighter racquet and very maneuverable. I have found that it generates ample power even though it is a bit lighter. I can feel the flex at impact. I am a Volkl fan. Very high quality.

Nice racquet.I bought 2 of these and 2 of the C10 Pro racquets. The PRO is just slightly heavier. The EVO has a better feel than the PRO, to me, and offers more pop. The PRO offers more control and less pop. The EVO looks better than the PRO, to me. I have different grip sizes. Building them up adds weight, but gives more pop and control on the serve, yet less control on ground strokes. These racquets are better than my Head Pro Tour 2.0’s. The Volkls have a great midrange flex. Overall very good racquets once you dial in the right string, tension, gauge, and grip size. My are strung with 18g poly Volkl Cyclone at 50 and 52. I rated them a 4 only because I am no expert but better than the Heads and Wilson’s I have owned. I am not sure they are great topspin creators but I’m only a 3.0 player. A lot to like about them with the thin beams and throat.
Best racquet I've ownedLove it!
Sweet feeling racketI was using Volkl PB 10 Mid before switching to this as I’m starting to struggle with its weight. This C10 Evo has that same classic sweet, buttery feel, easier to swing and has good control. Very comfortable and has decent pace on groundies, good feel and touch on volleys and easy to place and decent pace for serves. It lacks some plow thru power due to its lighter weight. Will try some lead tape at 10 and 2 O’clock and see if that improves the power without adding too much weight. I find the sweet spot to be ok. Some reviewers has commended it to be small, maybe that’s why it’s so nice feeling.
If you like tennis, you should try C10Now I can enjoy C10's unique comfortable and classic plush feel since Volkl promotes this version! I had ever tried C10 Pro before, which is very responsive and plush feel, however, it's so heavy that I cannot handle even in court practice. C10 EVO is lighter, it keeps all characteristics of the original C10 pro, just aware of the small sweet spot, keeping play hard, you will love it! Once again, thank you Volkl!

Awesome Crisp racquetI used Volkl Cyclone 17 cross 58 lbs / 16 main 60 lbs. Love the crisp shots I hit from the baseline. Love slicing with this racquet, good control.
Solid C10 PRO EVOI agree with everything Basil says. The specifications, though not all are exact, state the frame should be 310g unstrung, but weighing it on a scale gives me barely 306 unstrung- strung with Quasi Gut Armor multi I get a 317g weight. But once you played with it and its over 320 swing weight and 4 points headlight you get a crisp solid feel, and outstanding playability. You will be amazed, I love it, it is a dream playing with it, good job VOLKL :)
Finally a light C10 Pro!I am a longtime user of the Becker Melbourne and used the C10 Pro off and on again all last winter. I left the C10 Pro because it was just too heavy to use in match play. Finally Volkl has delivered a new players frame in a lighter version without the cheap hollow stiff feel of most of their current releases. This frame is soft, yet crisp and is a great platform for customization. The stock strung weight of 11.4 oz is going to be too light for some folks, but the feel and control of the old Volkl heritage is back with this frame. Control, spin, balance and comfort are all top notch. I am going to vary the weight a bit to see if I can get a little more plow on the ball. I think this is the stick a lot of Volkl fans have been wanting and waiting for.
