This is the big brother of the regular VCORE 98, with a heavier static weight and 1pts balance difference.
The Yonex VCORE racket integrates several advanced technologies for enhanced performance. Its silicone oil-infused grommets reduce friction by 26.3%, enabling a rapid string snapback that generates powerful spin. An enlarged frame top boosts the ball contact area for increased topspin, while the new throat design adds 3.4% more stability, improving control.
The 2G-Namd™ Flex Force uses highly elastic graphite for a high snapback effect, further enhancing spin, and the aerodynamic Aero Trench and Aero Fin reduce air resistance for faster swing speeds. Lastly, the ISOMETRIC™ design creates a 7% larger sweet spot, offering greater power, control, and forgiveness.
