Players looking for a spin-friendly, control based frame will love this latest iteration of the Yonex VCORE 98.

In addition to providing more control than the VCORE 100, this stick has a tad more mass, resulting in greater stability when plowing through the ball.

The Yonex VCore 98 features a fantastic new cosmetic and some new technology updates.  This 2021 model has seen the racquet head widened above the 3/9 axis and the frame stiffness reduced giving players a more comfortable feedback on ball contact.  

New technologies include Flex Force, which uses a uniquely flexible graphite (NAMD2) in the lower hoop/upper shaft to help the racquet bend more optimally at impact. Yonex has also redesigned the grommet system with String Sync, which utilizes funnel shaped inserts to help the strings snap back powerfully during impact (think spin). Additional technologies include a Vibration Dampening Mesh in the handle for added comfort, along with several aerodynamic features that reduce wind drag for easier acceleration. On groundstrokes, the VCORE 100 not only packs surprising power, it also has enough spin-potential to bring the ball down hard.

In addition to delivering the needed spin to bring the ball down hard, this stick moves faster than a traditional player's racquet, giving you the all-court mobility to charge the net and finish points with authority. It also shines on serve where the combination of spin and precision will enable you to swing for power. With some impressive updates to the beam construction and feel, the VCORE 98 keeps getting better.   

Ultimately, with subtle updates to the feel and response, the VCORE 100 continues to be a great option for experienced players who want easy power and spin-friendly precision.
