What players say

Reviewers position the Vostra V9 305g as the control-leaning, maneuverable middle child of the Vostra line, sitting between the V8 and V10. It handles especially well at net and rewards players who generate their own pace, but several testers were surprised to find it firmer and more dampened than they expected from a Volkl frame.
Best for
- Control-minded all-court players
- Players who want a 100 sq in frame that is easy to swing
- Net players/volleyers
- Players moving up from the V8 who want more head size
Pros
- Excellent maneuverability, especially at net
- Strong directional control from the 16x19 pattern
- Balanced, manageable power that doesn't get away from you
- Comfortable, dampened feel on center-hoop contact
Cons
- Feels firmer and less lively than traditional Volkl frames
- Smaller effective sweetspot than the 100 sq in head suggests, with dead feel high in the hoop
- Modest spin production compared to the V10
- Some stability concerns on aggressive baseline returns
Voices

enough pop to help you put balls away or get out of trouble, but never becomes difficult to manage
— Jon Levey, Web
compares favorably to other brawnier 100s when it comes to zeroing in on targets
— Jon Levey, Web
contact is slightly dampened and mostly comfortable

I would have liked more feel from the racquet. The Vostra V9 305g felt very dampened
