How do you pronounce 'Volkl'

[Thud and blunder]

With all these Volkl threads flying around, I thought it would be an opportune time to ask...

 

[NickJ]

Vol - Kul ??

 

[Thud and blunder]

I thought it was more like 'Ferl-kul'

You say tomAto, I say tomARto . . .

 

[NickJ]

I'm only messin'!

I honestly don't know the proper pronunciation. Interestin' to see what others think it is!

 

[PROTENNIS63]

VOLKUL. But it is not a hard 'u', more like a soft 'u'. Just pronounce it as it is read.

I'm a German speaker. English speakers, try to say the following, slowly:

FOOL-cull

That's about as close as you can get within the phonics of the English language. The "oo" component of "FOOL" would have a slight tweak at the end, a hint of the letter E, as the letter ö, which indeed spelled out (as in the case where there is no umlaut on a typewriter), would be "oe" as in "Voelkl."

 

[psYcon]

its pronounced VOCAL.

whatever suits you man, it's more important to improve your game than worry about pronunciations.

 

[ATXtennisaddict]

I pronounce is "vol cal". like 'vocal' but with an 'L' sandwiched.

Got it; thanks.
