Volkl C10 Pro

This edition is primarily a cosmetic update celebrating the racquet's history, featuring a heritage yellow paint job with a modern striped design. It also comes bundled with premium accessories, including a set of V.Icon Natural Gut string and a high-quality black leather grip.

The C10 Pro is designed for advanced all-court players who can handle its 11.6-ounce unstrung weight. Because of its heavy stock weight and demanding nature, it is generally not recommended for beginners or intermediate players still developing their swing mechanics.

The Twin Absorber Handle is integrated into the frame to dampen harsh vibrations and shock upon impact. It provides a more muted, comfortable feel without sacrificing the feedback you need to judge your shots accurately.

The thin 19mm beam is built for precision and control rather than raw power. You will need to provide your own pace, but in exchange, you get exceptional feel and the ability to place the ball exactly where you want it.

Yes, the 8 points head-light balance is crucial for this frame. It shifts the weight toward the handle, which makes the racquet feel much faster through the air and more maneuverable at the net than its 12.2-ounce strung weight would suggest.

The manufacturer recommends a tension range between 50 and 60 lbs. Given the frame's focus on control and its comfortable flex rating of 64, many players find success in the mid-to-lower end of that range to open up the string bed slightly.
