Product Overview
The Viking AXE LITE is a safe bet for any player, at any level of platform tennis!
With a blend of power and control at a middle weight, the AXE LITE is a safe choice for any level of player and any style of play. Like the little bear says..."not too soft, not too firm, but juuust right"! Its extra long grip (a feature of every member of the AXE family) is great for two-handed play as it allows players more space for their hands on the handle. This paddle also features a consistent, heavy layer of a fine particulate, well-adhered grit.
What are the Viking Axe Paddles known for?
The Viking Axe paddles (three in the series) are designed with the maneuverability of the Viking O-Zone paddles and a larger sweet spot and stable feel like the Re-Ignite series.
With a head size of 88.9 square inches, the Axe paddle is a "large mid size" or "small oversize", depending how you want to see it. You can choke up on the elongated handle, or get two hands on it, as with the O-Zone paddles, but the balance isn't quite as head heavy as a traditional oversize paddle such as the Re-Ignite series. Viking incorporated a carbon fiber weave around the entire throat for added shock reduction and stability making this model feel as great as it plays!
THE THREE VIKING AXE MODELS INCLUDE:
- Axe Prodigy (lightest with a low density core - easiest to swing and most control)
- Axe Lite (midweight with a medium density core - blend of power and control)
- Axe Pro (heaviest with a mid+, firmer density core - most power, firmest feel)
Viking's CFS2 "Carbon Fiber Stability System" technology promises an optimal blend of control, power, maneuverability, and whippy feel for enhanced paddle head speed. The CFS2 softens the response at impact and stability and maneuverability coexist seamlessly. With CFS2, a Carbon fiber weave wraps the entire throat of the paddle, giving it added stability and increased shock reduction without adding any weight.
