Description
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.
