Volkl
Power Bridge V1 Midplus Tennis Racquet
Tennis Magazine's Review
August 2009
How it tested: The
original V1 was the
Cadillac of comfort and Porsche of power
when it established Volkl as a serious
tennis racquet brand in 1995.
That's why it remains Volkl's top
recreational players' stick today. This latest Power Bridge V1
Midplus takes comfort and power to even
higher levels. It has more horsepower and
holds the road better on twisty turns, duet
largely to Volkl's sensor handle
system in the shaft that dampens the shock
and vibration that comes with hard
shots. In addition, Power Bridge
technology, which fortifies the racquet with
strong carbon fibers in the 6 o'clock
position of the frame's head, increases
stability on off-center fits and enhances
power and control. The racquet also
comes in a 110-square-inch version for
players who frequently hit off the frame.
Playtester comments: "Overall,
may be the perfect racquet", Felt like
butter on impact", I got a least 25%
more velocity than my usual thin-beamed
players' stick. I'm not saying my
shots were going in, but they stated within
the city limits."
Bottom line: The V1 is A-1 comfort
and power for recreational players.
The cult racket by Volkl Tennis, the V1, has been given another technology upgrade: first came the tuning, featuring the high-tech DNX, a material developed by the renowned Fraunhofer TEG, a leading German institute of technology. This has now been joined by integration of the unique POWERBRIDGE innovation. This new technology lends the racket additional dynamic force and stability from the yoke of the racquet itself. What we have not changed is the characteristic V1 feeling – which is nothing short of legendary! Our proven BIG GROMMET technology provides more acceleration by amplifying the ‘swing’ of the strings. Its intelligent blend makes the POWERBRIDGE V1 THE perfect comfort and performance racquet – extremely easy on the arm, thanks to its variable beam, and with incredible stability at the parts of the racket that matter most.
