Volkl Catapult Technology
The catapult technology is based around a spring constructed out of Lite-Carbon and High-Modulus Carbon. The Catapult rests freely on the racquet frame and is activated, or “pre-loaded”, when the strings are installed.
German Engineering
A successful heritage combined with years of experience, today’s engineers at Volkl use the most modern technology, and innovative designs to blend functionality with performance. This guarantees the highest standard of quality in all Völkl products.

PRE-Load Tension
To ensure optimal performance, the strings should "pre-load" the Catapult at the recommended string tension.

30 % More Power and Control
More “Control” is due to the increased receive-time of the “Control-Phase”. Increased “Power” is delivered by the explosive reaction of the Catapult spring resetting during the “Power-Phase."

Control Phase – Receive time

As the ball hits the string bed, the
Catapult spring compresses and energizes or “loads” the catapult, thus creating a deeper string bed pocket. The increase in receive time (the Control Phase) results in 30% more control and a larger sweet spot.

Power Phase –Release Time

The explosive resetting of the Catapult shortens the release time (the Power Phase) by 30% delivering more power. Power is further enhanced because the ball compresses less and retains more of its own energy.
