Introducing the VCORE PRO 97D! Like the previous version (VCORE PRO 97HD), this racquet’s 18x20 string pattern and 97 square inch head give it the control and feel that advanced player’s crave. For 2021, Yonex tweaks the shaft geometry to help the racquet bend more effectively during impact. They’ve also added a slightly thicker beam for extra pop while keeping the buttery feedback that defined the previous model. Under the hood, Yonex adds 2G-NAMD (Flex Force) to the graphite layup. This is designed to help the fame snapback more effectively during impact. Other material updates include Flex Fuse which utilizes a soft polymer in the layup for added comfort. Yonex's signature technology remains the ISOMETRIC head shape, which creates a larger sweetspot and more forgiving feel. As with the previous generation, this update includes VDM (Vibration Dampening Mesh), a handle technology used to reduce harsh impact vibrations. On the courts, this stick feels surgical from the baseline, and the touch at net is outstanding. There’s also enough mass to comfortably redirect higher levels of pace, making this ideal against big hitters. Ultimately, with some impressive changes to the beam and layup, the 97D is an obvious option for the experienced player who wants the feel and precision of a traditional player’s racquet.

Yonex declined my warranty claim about an internal vibration in the handle because I returned the racquet without strings (their warranty policy requires two piece stringing), and that the frame was "very abused". Yes, there were many hit marks on the frame, but if you play half seriously, you will hit the court surface often. Also, you should see my old Wilson Pro Staff 97, half the frame is worn off, but still solid, no vibration. Not to mention, another racquet of the exact same kind I have is "very abused" just the same, yet no vibration. And why would the condition of the frame matter to an internal vibration from the handle!? The hit marks are not at the handle! You pay the premium for quality, and all you get from Yonex is that they hide behind their ...

The retailer should also stand behind their customers and stand up to such ignorance from a manufacturer.
