NEW Viking Platform Tennis Paddles for 2019 Season (Launch August 2018)

Viking Paddles for the 2019 season launching this August offer a slew of new color options and Grit GuardTM on every model to protect against scratches to the hand from the area just above the handle.

Gone is the MaxGrit of 2016 and 2017, replaced with the gritty face first rolled out on 2018 models that feels finer and definitely better adheres to the face of the paddle beneath the topcoat.  For those players who were so jazzed about the super aggressive MAXGRIT, we still have a couple of models in stock that feature that technology for maximum spin.

The 2019 paddles feature color choices per Viking paddle model while the silos remain the same (OZ, O-Zone and Re-Ignite with EVA density choices for softer, medium and firmer feel that translates to control, blend of power and control and more power).

VIKING RE-IGNITE LITE GG PADDLE FOR 2019, IN COLORS!



Viking also carries forward it's two kids platform tennis paddles with tiny 4" grip sizes, including the Viking Smash Jr. GG and the Viking Zombie Jr. GG - the only children's platform paddles on the market at this time.

Can't remember how to choose the best Viking paddle for you?  Here's our tip:

First determine the shape that you'd prefer...

OZ family - Standard/traditional head size (for anyone!)
O-Zone family - Smaller head size (for less head heavy feel, more manuverability)
Re-Ignite family - Largest head size (oversized for a larger sweet spot)

Then, determine the core density that works for your game...

Softest (Prodigy models) - most control, accuracy and comfort to the arm
Mid density - combination of power and control
Mid+ or high density (Pro models) - more power for players with above average technique
