March 2012

How It Tested: Playtesters reveled in how the Völkl V1’s stringbed played like a springboard: Power and spin just shot off of it. As a 4.0 playtester with an eastern forehand and two-handed backhand put it, the V1 Oversize (pictured) “hit without vibration, with awesome feel, and with adequate power and spin. It was great in all facets of the game.” Furthermore, 3.5 to 4.0-level players said that the stick was highly maneuverable and comfortable. Nonetheless, a few 4.0 playtesters claimed that, while the V1 OS could get the job done at net, the stick “felt a little dead on volleys.” For those in search of an even springier ride, the V1 Oversize features a larger, more forgiving head size and extra length.

Bottom Line: Smooth, steady, and cushy racquets for beginners and intermediates who place a premium on comfort.

The Volkl Organix V1 Oversize is the latest update to the arm-friendly Volkl V1. Expect enhanced feel and a springboard effect from Organix material technology. Arm friendly Bio Sensor handle system updates Volkl's Tour Sensor handle to offer one of the most comfortable 'tweener racquets available today. Additional forgiveness thanks to the 110 sq. in. head size, extended 27.6 in. length and variable 29/24/26mm beam. Offers an excellent blend of power and control for many player types and levels.


Organix material technology combines the power of carbon nano tubes with the feel and dampening of natural cellulose as a base material. By surrounding the cellulose fibers with the carbon nano tubes within the frame layup, elastic properties are created, and offers a springboard effect and excellent frame response
