Volkl Power Bridge 4

Holabird Sports

In addition to Power Bridge technology, this racquet also utilizes the proven Catapult Effect for increased power and control. It provides the Power Bridge 4 with additional ball control and a larger sweet spot while permitting greater ball acceleration.

Thanks to Power Bridge, the Power Bridge 4's balance of dynamism, control and comfort is now complemented by an extra serving of power and stability. A perfect racquet for all-round players.

One of the most important factors that determine the power of a tennis racquet 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 Völkl's 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 fiber materials. Thanks to our many years of experience in using DNX Völkl has now successfully achieved the next step forward in developing Power Bridge. When constructing a racquet 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 racquet. The result of this development work is Power Bridge - an innovative construction which considerably increases the stability of this critical area. This makes the entire racquet 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.
