The Catapult 6 is traditional Völkl design blended with their most innovative technology. Catapult technology consists of 10 grommets per side, located at the 3 and 9 o'clock position. Classic Big Grommets are incorporated into the Catapult grommet strips helping expand the sweetspot. According to Völkl, Catapult technology translates into 30% more power and 30% more control for enhanced performance. This combination has produced one of the most playable and versitle racquets for 2004.

The Cat 6 offers an excellent blend of power and control with more control than most of the comparable racquets. Spin potential is excellent thanks to the open string pattern, slight extended length, 27.25 in, medium fle and lighter weight..

The racquet is very comfortable with a muted feel, thanks in part to the Sensor Handle System.

The 6 is an ideal choice for experienced player looking for additional control with available power when called upon. It is extremely arm friendly. The Catapult 6 is best suited for players with moderate to fuller strokes coupled with medium to fast swing speed. The sweetspot is large and positioned slight above center.

Catapult Technology: Völkl's patented spring system. Catapult technology is based around springs constructed of Lite-Carbon and High Modulus Graphite that are freely mounted onto the walls of the frame. When the ball hits the string bed the spring compresses or “loads” the catapult, creating a deeper string bed pocket. This increases the time the ball stays on the strings. As the spring resets, the contact time is shortened delivering more power. The overall contact time between the ball and the strings remains the same what Völkl has been able to accomplish is to change the contact time between the Control and Power Phases.

Sensor Handle Tour System: A vibration suppression system that utilizes a two part racquet shaft and TecnoGel™ provides ideal shock dampening. EVA, surrounds the shaft, offering superior vibration dampening without sacrificing touch or racquet “feedback.”

Dynamic Power Control Pattern (PCP): Variable string pattern, more dense in the racquet's sweetspot ensures more control and string durability, while the string pattern is more open outside the sweetspot providing more power and comfort on off-center shots.

Pure Fiber Technology: A new technology which results in more fibers and less resin in the racquet. This heat-activated molding process optimizes the amount of resin each graphite fiber can absorb. The result is a sheet of graphite that has 10% more fibers with less resin and is more uniform and consistent in all aspects resulting in more stability, performance, and durability.

Vibration Control Handle: VCH features an Ethyl Vinyl Acetate (EVA) sheath surrounding the racquet shaft, located beneath the pallet. This sheath is designed for optimum vibration dampening which provide additional protection for the arm.

Soft Butt Cap: A soft pliable polymer is used instead on the usual hard plastic to form the cap that is placed at the bottom of the handle. These soft butt-caps compliment Völkl's Sensor Handle System by further absorbing unwanted shock and vibration while still allowing racquet “feelback."
