Rank your favourite Volkl 10 mp series.

[Crocodile]

Interested from all Volkl 10mp users whether over time you have a series that you prefer the most or least out of the following racquets:

C 10 Pro
Tour 10 mp 325
Tour 10 mp gen2 325
V Engine 10mp 325
DNX 10mp 325
Power Bridge 10mp 325
Organix 10mp 325
SG 10mp 325
V Sense mp 325

Have your preferences changed over time. My gauge to this has been based on which frame I used for the longest and was reluctant to change and that to me was the V Engine series, which means the DNX series is placed last, because it was a major change at the time. Also put the Tour 10 gen1 and C 10 up there (as many still do).

Why no 295s?

Played a leaded C10 Pro Extended from a senior in high school until a sophomore in college. Became a Volkl fan. Demoed all C10's on your list except the V-Engine, SG,PowerBridge and V-Sense. The Organix 10 was my second favorite by far and the only one I contemplated switching to. Its been so long since I played the others I can't honestly rank them.

Played the dnx10 coming from a lifetime with Wilson. It was a scalpel then got into the Boris Becker offshoot and still use the BB Melbourne. I'd be interested to see how either the dnx10mp or Melbourne compare to the c10 pro.

Gen II. Smooth as can be. Best volleying frame ever.

I didn't include them because they are a bit light to compare with the heavy ones, but the SG 10mp 295 is a very good racquet and fun to use.

Yes the DNX is the most scalpel like, but also quite underpowered compared to the others. The Melbourne is super comfortable and great volleying stick but not as manuverable as the C 10 which is more lively due to more open string pattern. All are great frames. The BB 11 is similar to the Melbourne.

Interesting. It was the lack of power that led me away from the dnx to the BB 11 originally. The Melbourne seemed to bridge the precision of the dnx with the pop of the bb11. I may have to find a c10 pro to play around with. I lie the idea of a little more liveliness.

I found that when the DNX replaced the V Engine it felt insubstantial so I continued using the V Engine. It was a more solid graphite fibreglass racquet. The DNX was the start of new technology for Volkl and it was improved with the BB11 and Melbourne which are both great racquets. The C10 is heavier than these racquets but with the 16/19 pattern and more headlight balance it swings faster.
As iconic the C10 is I'm curious to see whether the V Sense 10 has the technology to make the C10 fade away as currently it's still the choice of many players.

pass...9 series guy...

I purchased my C10's in 2005 around the same time I purchased my Tour 10 Gen 2's I believe. They are still in great shape. I call them my noodle rackets due to the way that they flex. The Tour 10 Gen 2 was a little underpowered for me but I still have my Tour 10 V-engine MP's and they are still a joy to hit with. I migrated over to Dunlop for a few years but have been play testing frames and seem to be migrating back to Volkl with the Super G 10 Mid 320. It is a much stiffer frame and totally different Volkl 10 but I love it for what it is, and what it does for my game. Does anyone have an idea of there will be a V-sense 10 Mid 320 in the new year or so? I always enjoyed the sensor handle and it seems like the V-Sense may have improved feel over the Super-G which is more muted. Still I do really enjoy the playability of the Super-G 10 Mid 320.

C10 Pro. It's a very specific racquet

Which 9 series, I liked the DNX version with the V throat with weight added. SG 9 is also interesting frame, interested to see how the V Sense version goes.

Do you think it will remain a stand alone product irrespective of the newer 10,s coming out (e.g v sense 10)?

 

[CopolyX]

no problem, no crying here... make vsense to me.....as long as you guys are happy, i am happy.....

You mean are they the same with new editions of C10Pro?

 

[Crocodile]

No, what I was referring to is whether they will still make the C10 if the V Sense becomes overly successful. I haven't hit with the V Sense yet but will be intersting to see how it compares.

Sorry, can't help with this. I only have two C10 Pro and one PB10 Mid from modern Volkl racquets. Didn't try V Sense.

 

[MCN]

C10 Pro is quite flexy but very soft in the upper hoop and hitting high up in the string bed results in a power loss if your timing is off. The V Sense 10 325 is like a more modern version of the C10 (actually probably closer to the Tour 10MP). It's still a flexy stick, but the hoop is much stiffer and this means more available linear power, with a nice 'dwell time' on the strings. I would say it plays about half way in between the old Tour 10 and something like the Organix 10 325, which is no bad thing. But all the 10 series play well so it's just a case of finding the one that suits you best.

Thanks for this comparison, looking forward to trying the V Sense 10.

 

[sargeinaz]

1) Tour 10 Gen 1 MP
2) C10 Pro
3) Super G 10 325
4) Tour 10 V-engine MP

I want to try the Super G 10 295 with a leather grip. I thought the organix 10 was horrible. Didn't care for the PB 10 or dnx either.

 

[sma1001]
