Volkl Vostra V8 285g Tennis Racquet
Description
Volkl Vostra V8 285g Tennis Racquet
The Volkl Vostra V8 285g is the lightest frame in the V8 family. It carries the same 16x18 pattern and 22/24/22mm beam as its heavier siblings.
At 300g strung it stays easy to swing fast for a full match, so you get the V8 playing character without the extra mass.
Key Features
- Identical V8 mould and string pattern to the 300g and 315g, so you choose the weight and keep the playing character.
- Tighter 16x18 pattern is denser than a typical 16x19, landing shots shorter of the baseline and extending string life.
- 300g strung weight keeps racquet-head speed high deep into a match.
- 22/24/22mm tapered beam balances depth through the throat with control at the tip.
- RedCell Material and REVA keep a light frame comfortable on off-centre contact.
- V-Sensor Handle and V-Tex Butt Cap improve feel and grip stability.

Who It's For
- Intermediate players who want a control pattern in a light, fast frame.
- Players with quick hands who prefer racquet-head speed over static weight.
- Anyone stepping into the V8 line who wants the easiest version to swing.
- Players who want string durability from a tighter 16x18 layout.
Why Buy This Product
All three V8s share the same head size, beam and string pattern, so only the weight changes. The 285g is the pick for the fastest hands: it gives you the V8's control-oriented 16x18 pattern and Volkl's damping package in the lightest, most manoeuvrable package in the family.
