The Volkl Power Bridge V1 is the latest update to the legendary Volkl V1. Utilizing DNX technology, coupled with the added stability of Powerbridge gives the Power Bridge V1 improved power and stability versus previous V1's. In combination with the proven Sensor Handle System, there’s no racquet in the world that absorbs harmful vibrations much better than the Power Bridge V1. Variable 26-23-29mm beam width, 110 square inch head size, longer 27.6 inch length, 4 regions of Big Grommets, in combination with DNX, offers an outstanding combination of performance, power and comfort.
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. Using the next generation of DNX technology, Powerbridge is an innovative construction which considerably increases the stability of the critical throat/yoke area of the frame. 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.
DNX technology is a unique new material developed by Volkl in cooperation with the Fraunhofer TEG Institute in Germany, that is 25 times stronger than any other mass-produced carbon fiber. DNX is located in three strategic points in the racquet to improve playability. DNX at 3 and 9 o'clock increases torsional stability, allowing for greater control, even off-center hits. DNX is also placed in a cap above the grip to add strength and power to the frame.
