Viking SHIËLD C22 Platform Tennis Paddle

Viking's SHIËLD family of paddles, formerly the reignite, are the standard among all platform tennis paddles across all manufacturers, period.  Ideal for players who are primarily looking for power, with a complementing sweet spot and increased stability.  All models feature our Carbon Fiber Stability System (CFS). CFS is a carbon fiber weave that wraps the entire throat of the paddle, giving it added stability and increased shock reduction without adding any weight.

THE SHIËLD C22, the prodigy model, is the lightest model within the Shield family, featuring the C22 core density (formerly Low Core) with eight extra holes enhancement for the maximum number of holes allowed and Viking’s proprietary Vibration dampener.  The Shield C22 will appeal to players with a slower swing speed who are looking for greater control and better stability from an oversized paddle.
