Viking SHIËLD C30 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 C30, the Lite model,  is the paddle all other manufacturers have been trying to replicate. It features the same oversized hitting surface as the C40, but at 15 grams lighter, offers superior maneuverability and exceptional control—the best of both worlds.
