Product Overview
The Viking Hammer C40 for 2024/25 replaces the OZ Pro Valknut and features new technologies and a new color!
As with all of the brand new (Weapon named) Viking platform tennis paddles, there is a new Concentric Hole Pattern with a combination of smaller and larger hole sizes to maximize feel and spin. The Dual Grit Surface features a larger particulate in the center of the paddle for de-icing where you need it most, and finer grit toward the outer paddle to ensure bite and spin from the paddle's holes.
The Viking Hammer C40 features the firmest density core material, for both more power and more feel that Pro players with well-established technique typically seek. Not a fan of the spongy, softer core in low density paddles? The C40 is well suited to more experienced players who prefer a crisp feel, lively ball response and stable paddle providing the power desired for competitive play.
WHAT ARE THE VIKING HAMMER PLATFORM TENNIS PADDLES KNOWN FOR?
The three 2024/25 Viking HAMMER paddles are each 85 square inches in size, making them a midplus head size that features the same shape many players know from Viking OZ paddles from the past.
Viking carries forward their CFS2 "Carbon Fiber Stability System" technology that 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.
THE THREE VIKING HAMMER MODELS INCLUDE:
Hammer C22 (formerly Prodigy) - lightest with a low density core - easiest to swing and most control
Hammer C30 (formerly Lite) - midweight with a medium density core - blend of power and control
Hammer C40 (formerly Pro) - heaviest with a mid+, firmer density core - most power, firmest feel

Not sure what grip size you really need?
We know that for many of you, a 4-1/4'' grip is just too small. For this reason, we offer you a professional grip buildup option so that you can avoid messing around with layers of overgrips to enlarge the handle size. No, it will not delay the shipping of your paddle. Don't know what grip size you need? Click here to learn how to measure your proper paddle grip size.
