Product Overview
The Viking Sword C40 for 2024/25 replaces the O-Zone Pro Valknut and features a new technology and new colorway!
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 SWORD C40 is a paddle designed with average to high level players in mind. The heaviest of the Sword family, and with its MID+ density core (Viking's firmest), this paddle provides maximum power due to faster ball deflection off the paddle's face. For players with above average technique who can control the ball well, this added pace can be a significant advantage.
What are the Viking Sword Platform Tennis Models known for?
Each of the Sword Paddles has Viking's smallest head size, ensuring plenty of manuverability and a tapered throat so that you can more easily choke up on the handle, or play with two hands, if desired. The three versions vary by weight and density of the core.
THE THREE VIKING SHIELD MODELS INCLUDE:
Sword C22 (formerly Prodigy) - lightest with a low density core - easiest to swing and most control
Sword C30 (formerly Lite) - midweight with a medium density core - blend of power and control
Sword C40 (formerly Pro) - heaviest with a mid+, firmer density core - most power, firmest feel

Not sure what grip size you really need?
Grip Size: We know that for many of you, a 4-1/4'' grip is just too small. Therefore, 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.
