Yonex VCORE 100L Tennis Racket

It's also extremely fast, making it great for cranking winners on the run or reacting quickly at net. For 2023 Yonex overhauls the ISOMETRIC head shape by creating an even roomier, more luxurious hitting zone in the upper hoop. The payoff is a more forgiving and stable hitting experience, with an expanded spin window and juicier levels of power.

Yonex has also recontoured the VCORE shaft and made slight tweaks to the beam throughout the frame. Other new features include SIF Grommets, which deploys a silicone oil infusion to reduce the friction between the string and grommet. The upshot is greater string movement for increased snapback and more vicious ball rotation. Yonex has also lowered the RA, giving this stick an even more buttery feel at impact.

Like the previous generation, this racket benefits from 2-NAMD FlexForce Graphite in the upper shaft and lower hoop, enabling the racquet to flex optimally through impact. Ultimately, this redesigned VCORE 98 checks all the right boxes. Experienced players looking for spin, precision and feel should give this one a very serious look.

INNOVATION

2G-Namd™ Flex Force
For Aggressive, attacking spin
Incorporated in the upper throat to the lower frame, new Flex Force graphite allows for the racquet to quickly flex and snapback for maximum spin potential.

Frame Structure & Shaft Design
For Improved Feel & Control
A thinner beam, new throat design, and wider frame top create a maneuverable, stabilized racquet with a higher launch angle to increase topspin.

Vibration Dampening Mesh (VDM)
For added touch and precision
A stretchy mesh material is wrapped around the graphite within the grip to filter unwanted vibrations.

AERODYNAMIC TECHNOLOGY
A Faster Frame For More Spin
Aero Trench and Aero Fin Technology reduce air resistance for easy maneuverability and added spin.

SIF Grommets
Rapid String Snapback For Added Spin
A Silicone Oil Infused Grommet reduces the friction between the grommet and string allowing the racquet to quickly snapback into its original position.

ISOMETRICTM
Signature YONEX Technology
Compared to a conventional round frame, a square-shaped ISOMETRIC TM racquet generates a 7% larger sweet spot that delivers greater control without sacrificing power.
