Volkl's V1 Classic has stood the test of time. As one of the original 'tweeners, this popular racquet was designed to give intermediate players a light performance racket with great all-around performance. The V1 Classic should also appeal to beginners looking to reach the next level. Labeled a "virtual extension of the arm" by TENNIS Magazine in 1995, the Classic V1 vaulted to popularity in mid-'90s. Comfort is high thanks in part to the Dual Dampening Grip System, which helps reduce some of the harsher impact vibrations. With its 102 square inch head, this stick is a tad more forgiving and comfortable than its midplus competitors, but it still feels precise on full swings, and there's more than enough spin-potential to bring the ball down hard. At just under 11 ounces strung, the V1 Classic has the mobility for chasing down balls and executing shots on the run. The quick handling continues at net where the V1 plays great on reaction volleys, while also providing enough mass in the head for redirecting moderate levels of pace. Ultimately, this V1 Classic continues to be an obvious choice for those who want crisp and speedy racket with a very small learning curve. Intermediate players looking for ease of use should start here.
