Tennis Racket Quick Guide

Not in a rush? Check out our detailed racket guide.

Beginners: a larger head size gives more power and a bigger sweet spot — forgiving on off-centre hits.
Intermediate players: a mid-plus head size balances power and control.
Advanced players: often prefer smaller head sizes for precision, but it needs consistent technique.

Lighter (260–280g): easier to manoeuvre — good for beginners, juniors, or slower swing speeds.
Medium (280–310g): a mix of power and control — suits many intermediate players.
Heavier (310g+): more stability and power, but needs good technique — preferred by many advanced players.

Head-Heavy: more power, especially for shorter swings.
Even-Balance: a balanced feel, suits a broad range of players.
Head-Light: easier to manoeuvre — favoured by advanced players and net play in doubles.

Open (16x18 or 16x19): more spin and power, but strings wear faster.
Dense (18x20): more control and better string durability.

Ruler test: measure from the middle of your palm to the tip of your ring finger — 4 to 4⅜ inches suits most adults.
On-racket test: hold the racket for a backhand — there should be a finger’s width of space between your fingers and the base of your thumb.
Common sizes: G0 = 4", G1 = 4⅛", G2 = 4¼", G3 = 4⅜", G4 = 4½", G5 = 4⅝".
When in doubt, go smaller — an overgrip can build a grip up, but you can’t reduce one.

Yonex VCORE 98 Tennis Racket

The Yonex VCORE 98 is built for competitive players who thrive on precision, spin, and aggressive baseline control. Designed for those who swing fast and play proactively, this 8th-generation VCORE frame blends modern aerodynamics with refined feel, allowing you to attack with confidence from the back of the court.

Engineered by Yonex, the VCORE 98 combines a compact 98 sq. in. head with a 305g unstrung weight, offering a sharper, more controlled response than its 100 sq. in. counterpart—without sacrificing access to spin.

Performance Overview

The VCORE 98 is tuned for players who want precision first, supported by heavy topspin and reliable stability. Its aerodynamic frame shape cuts cleanly through the air, helping you accelerate the racket head and generate spin across a wide range of swing speeds.

A key highlight is the elevated sweet spot, positioned higher in the hoop. This design rewards aggressive baseline hitters, delivering consistent power and control on heavy topspin forehands, penetrating backhands, and high-contact groundstrokes.

Key Technologies

ISOMETRIC™
The signature Yonex square-shaped frame increases the sweet spot by approximately 7%, providing greater consistency and forgiveness compared to conventional round frames.

Aero Trench
Recessed grommets at the top of the frame reduce air resistance, enabling faster swing speeds and improved spin potential.

Liner Tech
Straight hole grommets allow increased string movement, enhancing forgiveness and depth on off-centre hits.

VDM (Vibration Dampening Mesh)
Integrated into the handle to filter unwanted vibrations, improving comfort, touch, and precision without muting feedback.

2G-NAMD™ Flex Force
Advanced carbon nanotube technology binds graphite fibres together, reducing energy loss and enhancing snapback for aggressive, attacking spin.

Servo Filter
A transparent elastic film placed between graphite layers absorbs unwanted vibration while fine-tuning flex and snapback, delivering clean, connected feedback from ball to hand.

Who Is the VCORE 98 For?

Advanced and competitive players
Aggressive baseline hitters
Players with fast, full swings
Those seeking spin with maximum directional control

This racket is ideal if you value precision and feel but still want modern spin and pace from the baseline.

Final Verdict

The Yonex VCORE 98 is a weapon for confident ball strikers. It rewards fast swings, encourages aggressive shot-making, and delivers the precise feedback competitive players demand. If you’re looking to control points with spin, speed, and accuracy, this frame belongs in your hands.
