What is different
Face, balance and price change between them; the rest is the same. Pick one to look closer.
Carbon against fibreglass: the Vk10's carbon is stiffer and more precise, the Cross's fibreglass is softer, gives the ball more pop at low speed and forgives more.
Edge: the Vk10, for precision
* The feel starts from the core's rated hardness (estimated from the core material where there is no rating), then the face: carbon 12K and up is firmer, fibreglass softer.
The same weight, 360 to 375 g.
No edge either way
The balance point is not listed for both.
No edge either way
* Drawn to scale: a 455 mm racket in its shape's outline (traced from a real racket of that shape), with the balance point the shops list marked on it. Real rackets vary by a few millimetres.
