WHERE NICK COMES IN

The Kyrgios Elongated

Nick Kyrgios is a co-owner of Vulcan, its Creative Director, and the co-designer of the Kyrgios Elongated.

He is not a signature on a box. He is in the build and in the business — the shape, the balance, the handle length, all decided with a player who has spent a career reading feel at the highest level of racket sport. What he brings to Vulcan is what Vulcan brings to a paddle. A refusal to accept the standard version.

The Kyrgios Elongated

Built straight.

No signature, no shortcut. Just the process behind the paddle he plays.

What he asked for

He wanted a paddle that felt like a tennis racket. A build for his game: points put away from the baseline, and control at the net where dominance and finesse both come down to feel. Reach, power, and touch in one frame, with none of the three giving way to the others.

What the build delivered

An elongated face that moves mass toward the tip, extending reach and leverage through contact. The longest handle in Chapter 01 at 5.75in, cut for the two-handed shot and for swing weight where a driver of the ball wants it. A tri-laminate raw carbon face over a V-Foam 90 dual-foam core: a dense ring for stability, a soft center for power. 16mm. 8.1oz, plus or minus .2oz. UPA Pro Certified.

What was tested

The target was power, taken as far as certification allows. The build went through multiple prototype rounds spent understanding the UPA's testing process, then engineering to its ceiling. The Kyrgios Elongated is tuned to carry as much power as a paddle can hold and still pass UPA Pro Certification. That was the line to reach, and reaching it took iteration, not luck.

“I wanted reach without losing the hands. This is the first paddle that gave me both.”
