Introducing the lightest member of the V-Cell 8 family! Like the previous generation, this racquet is great for improving intermediates, especially if they place a premium on maneuverability. It should also work well for the dedicated beginner who is looking to perfect the mechanics of pace and spin. For this update Volk adds extra V-Cell material throughout the shaft and head to create a more comfortable, stable and responsive hitting experience. Like the previous generation, this racquet's butt cap and innovative REVA based handle system have been meticulously designed to deliver a smoother, more arm-friendly feel at impact. On groundstrokes, this stick feels crisp, lively and accurate. It also swings faster than the V-Cell 8 while delivering the kind of spin-friendly precision that inspires confidence on full swings. The low sub 305-RDC swingweight makes this racquet great for scrambling on defense of hitting winners on the run. The speed also comes in handy on service returns and at net where this stick comes around with lightning speed to deliver easy targeting. Players looking to serve m ore aggressively will find enough pop, spin and precision to coax weak replies. With this update, Volkl keeps a good thing going. The V-Cell 8 is a great option for the rising player looking to play more aggressive tennis.
