Yonex VCORE 98L (285g) (2023) Tennis Racket (Unstrung)

Updated with a more responsive hitting zone and softer feel, the VCORE 98L gives intermediate players an impressive combination of speed, spin and feel. By combining a 98 square inch head with a sub 11 ounce weight, Yonex has created an extremely fast and accurate weapon. As with the previous generation, this racquet was built to enable improving players to achieve the stroke speed required for effective pace and spin. For 2023 Yonex reengineers the frame's geometry. In addition to redesigning the shaft and making the beam's face thinner, Yonex has widened the surface area of the racquet's upper hoop, resulting in a more stable, powerful and spin-friendly hitting experience. 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 easier access to spin. Yonex has also lowered the RA, giving this stick even better feedback than previous versions. As with the previous generation, this racquet has 2-NAMD FlexForce Graphite in the upper shaft and lower hoop, enabling the racquet to deflect and snapback effectively through impact. Ultimately, with its combination of speed, spin and precision, the 98L continues to be a seductive option for improving intermediate players. The softer feel and higher sweetspot makes this one awfully hard to resist.
