DESCRIPTION:

The Volkl Power Bridge 4! A power machine for dominant top-spin tennis at a high level! The new Powerbridge technology makes the racket significantly stronger – but without taking anything away from the legendary “Völkl feel”. The weight and balance are suitable above all for players who hit a wide range of powerful shots from the baseline, but the racket is also quick and easy to handle at the net.!

One of the most important factors that determine the power of a tennis racket is the stability and stiffness of the frame. Because the more stable the frame is, the more kinetic energy can be returned to the ball. In recent years our engineers have achieved totally new dimensions of power by integrating DNX into the frame. The high-strength DNX material is based on a CARBON NANOTUBE technology developed by Völkl Tennis and the Fraunhofer Technology Development Group (Fraunhofer TEG) and, with the same weight, is around 25 times stronger than conventional carbon fibre materials. Thanks to our many years of experience in using DNX we have now successfully achieved the next step forward in developing POWERBRIDGE. When constructing a racket head, the design of the yoke – in other words the lowest section (the 6-o’clock position) – poses a difficult challenge. The German research department of Völkl Tennis has now focused intensively on this critical yoke area of the racket. The result of this development work is POWERBRIDGE – an innovative construction which considerably increases the stability of this critical area. This makes the entire racket more powerful and dynamic. This effect is achieved on the one hand by integrating the high-strength DNX material and on the other hand by increasing the specific material density in the yoke.
