The V-Feel 6 updates the V-SENSE 6 with some major changes to the design, but keeps the user-friendly playability that made this such a perfect racquet for rising intermediates. It should also work for the strong beginner who wants to start hitting with more pace and spin. Although the target weight and balance remain the same, Volkl has updated this racquet with a thicker, more powerful beam. The upshot is a stick that delivers easier access to pace. This racquet also offers decent control thanks to the 100in² head. New to this racquet is V-Feel Technology, which is anchored by a substance called V-Cell, a light and strong cellulose material added to the layup for improved feel and responsiveness. Other V-Feel technologies include updates to both the butt cap and VSENSOR handle, which has been redesigned with an advanced material technology called REVA for greater shock absorption. From the baseline, the V-Feel 6 moves extremely fast. As a result, you'll find it easy to generate the needed head speed for effective pace and spin. You'll also find it easy to chase down balls and execute shots on the run. Although the string pattern got a tad denser, it's still quite open (16x19) and spin-friendly. Like the previous generation, this racquet's speed will help your reaction time at net. It also packs enough pop to keep well hit block volleys deep. The speedy feel comes in handy on service returns where the V-Feel 6 comes around fast to deliver easy targeting. With some added power and impressive tweaks to the feel, Volkl has created an attractive option for the intermediate player who wants a maneuverable racquet that does not skimp on spin or power.
