Viking SHIËLD C40 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 C40, the pro model, a long-time favorite of tournament and league players alike, features an oversized hitting surface and a C40 (formerly Mid+) core density, the highest available for platform tennis paddles. This paddle is a great choice for heavy hitters who are looking for better control on their shots.
