VOLKL VOSTRA V8 285g Tennis Racket Modern Power & Spin - Frame Only

Overview

The VOLKL VOSTRA V8 285g is ideal for rising intermediate to advanced players seeking a lively, spin‑friendly frame that's lightweight and manoeuvrable. It combines modern ball‑pocketing and stability to help elevate aggressive, all‑court play. As a frame‑only (unstrung) model, it allows full customisation to match individual string preferences.

Key Technologies

Red Cell

A multi‑material lay‑up blending V‑Cell carbon fibre with elastic REVA resin in the hoop and throat to enhance sweet‑spot feel, stability, and energy return.

Super Grommets

Figure‑eight grommet design boosts string movement for extra ball snap‑back and spin potential.

REVA Handle System & VTEX Butt Cap

Cushioned handle system featuring vibration‑absorbing REVA material and a dampened butt cap for better comfort and feel.

Pro / Player Review

Volkl's V8 285g receives praise for its blend of comfort, spin, and manoeuvrability. Testers often note that:

  • It delivers strong spin and accessible power thanks to its open 16×18 pattern.
  • The frame feels solid yet arm‑friendly, with responsive pocketing and comfort through Volkl's damping systems.
  • A top tester commented it was "very easy to swing, and the open string pattern provided plenty of spin", but added that it can feel a bit unstable on weak return contact.

Compared to fuller‑weighted player‑profile frames (e.g. V‑Cell 10 or Gravity Pro), the V8 is lighter and easier to swing, albeit subtly less stable--but its comfort and spin make it compelling for those seeking all‑court versatility.

Q: Who is this racket best suited for?

A: The V8 285g is ideal for intermediate or advanced players seeking spin, ease of swing, and all‑court feel, while valuing comfort and vibration damping over pure stability.

Q: How does it compare to heavier Volkl models?

A: Heavier models like the V10 or V‑Cell 10 offer more stability and plough‑through, but feel noticeably heavier. The V8 is lighter, quicker through the air, and more manoeuvrable--great for aggressive, attacking play.

Q: What strings and tension work well?

A: Players often use polyester or hybrid poly-mono strings at mid-range tension (50-58 lbs) to balance spin and control. The frame's open pattern and Red Cell lay‑up enhance power and feel.
