Volkl VÖSTRA V7

The V7 is designed for players of all levels who want a confidence boost. Its combination of a lightweight frame and a forgiving 100-square-inch head size makes it particularly well-suited for intermediate players looking for easy power and spin without sacrificing maneuverability.

The VSensor handle is integrated into the butt cap to dampen unwanted vibrations. This results in a cleaner, more comfortable feel at impact, which helps reduce arm fatigue during long matches.

Yes, the open 16x19 string pattern combined with the Super Grommets allows for greater string movement. This design helps the strings 'bite' the ball more effectively, making it easier to generate topspin.

At 10.6 ounces, this is a relatively lightweight frame. Combined with its head-light balance, it is very maneuverable, allowing you to swing quickly and react faster at the net.

REDCELL Carbon Fiber is used in the head and throat of the racquet to enhance structural integrity. This material provides a stiffer, more stable frame that improves energy return, giving you more power on your shots.

The manufacturer recommends a string tension range of 50 to 60 pounds. If you want more power, consider stringing toward the lower end of that range; for more control, aim for the higher end.
