What players say
The V1 EVO v2 is a 2025 cosmetic-only update of the Volkl V1 EVO, with identical specs (102 sq in, 320g strung, 326 swingweight, 16x19), so reviews of the original V1 EVO apply directly. Testers and owners consistently praise its comfort and classic Volkl feel, with good spin and easy depth on groundstrokes and volleys, but several wanted more pop on serve and noted it can feel unstable against bigger hitters.
Best for
- Intermediate to advanced all-court players who want classic Volkl comfort
- Players with arm sensitivity who want a flexible, dampened frame
- Doubles players and control-oriented baseliners
- Players who generate their own pace rather than relying on racquet power
Pros
- Widely praised comfort and dampening; Tennis Warehouse playtest scored it 90 for comfort and testers called it an 'extension of the arm'
- Good spin potential, especially on the forehand, from the open 16x19 pattern
- Easy, forgiving, confidence-inspiring performance from the first hit, with good depth generation on groundstrokes and volleys
- Customer reviews are strongly positive (4.9/5 on 8 reviews for the base V1 EVO) citing a good blend of power, control and feel
Cons
- Multiple Tennis Warehouse playtesters wanted more pop/power on serve (serve score only 75 vs 90 comfort)
- At least one tester felt it lacked stability against harder-hitting opponents
- Off-center shots can feel 'lost' on the stringbed per one playtester
- Volkl's rectangular grip shape takes adjustment time for players used to other brands
