Yonex Vcore 98 Tennis Racquet 4 1/2

The Yonex Vcore 98 Ruby Red (2026) is engineered for intermediate to advanced players who demand spin-heavy performance with exceptional comfort. This racquet combines controlled power with modern feel, making it ideal for aggressive baseline play and all-court versatility. The 98 square inch head size strikes the perfect balance – large enough for a forgiving sweet spot yet compact enough to maintain the precision that advanced players require. Yonex’s signature Isometric frame design increases the sweet spot by 7% compared to conventional round frames, delivering greater control without sacrificing power. Revolutionary aerodynamic features set this racquet apart. The innovative Aero Trench design reduces drag by concealing grommets at the frame’s crown, enabling faster head speeds for increased spin potential. Meanwhile, Liner Tech’s straight hole grommets allow enhanced string movement on off-centre shots, maximising spin generation even when you don’t catch the ball perfectly. Advanced damping technologies ensure premium feel and comfort. The Vibration Dampening Mesh (VDM) wraps around the graphite within the grip to filter unwanted vibrations, while Servo Filter – a flexible film between graphite layers – provides fine-tuned flex and precise sensory feedback from ball to hand. The 2G-NAMD Flex Force technology utilises carbon nanotube structure to bind graphite fibres, reducing energy loss whilst providing quick snapback for aggressive, attacking spin with pinpoint control.
