Overview
With the updated V-Cell 5, Volkl delivers the perfect tool to dedicated beginners and early intermediates. With its sub-10 ounce weight, this racquet moves through contact with remarkable ease, making it one of the most user-friendly options in its class. It also packs a 100 square inch head, giving it greater control and accuracy than its oversize counterparts. The payoff is greater confidence when attacking the ball.
For this update, Volkl gives the frame extra V-Cell material (a cellulose based carbon) resulting in a more comfortable, stable and responsive hitting experience. This racquet also has Volkl's innovative REVA based handle system which has been meticulously designed to deliver a smoother, more arm-friendly feel at impact.
On groundstrokes, this racquet's quick handling and spin-friendly precision lead to confident ball striking. Like the previous generation, the V-Cell 5 is ideal for the player who wants to start swinging bigger and playing more aggressive tennis. It's also mobile enough for chasing down balls and cranking winners on the run. The speed continues at net where the V-Cell 5 plays great on reaction volleys. Ultimately, with this update, Volkl keeps a good thing going. Improving players looking for the confidence to load the ball with pace and spin should give this one a test drive.

Great light racquet!I was previously using a Volkl C10 Pro and C10 Evo, but my shoulder needs surgery. So I needed a lighter racquet and this V-Cell 5 has saved the day. It’s light but solid and easy on my shoulder. Good feel and control. Looks great as well.

Perfect for my U12 Advancing PlayerMy daughter needed a light, spin friendly racquet as she is beginning to play USTA tournaments. This racquet met all the specs we were concerned with. The 16x18 string bed allows her to generate enough spin and the 265g frame is light enough for her to avoid excessive fatigue. This is one of Volkl’s most affordable options as well. FTR: I’m a big Volkl fan and play with one myself.
WeakNot for short swingers or hard hitters. Quick response but no punch. A beginners raquet.
