Yonex VCore 98 Tennis Racket (285g)

Yonex VCore 98 Tennis Racket (285g)

Becoming in the "New Shape of Spin" the Yonex VCore 98 (285) tennis racquet features the advanced technologies needed to help players implement speed and spin into their game. The ISOMETRIC technology helps to create a 7 percent larger sweet spot to maintain power and improve control. New Aero Fin technology just above the throat helps give players a faster and thinner frame. Lastly, NAMD graphite technology provides a unique flex and fast snapback from the frame, helping to make your shots just a little harder to return.

• Features a square-shaped ISOMETRIC frame.
• Features optimal maneuverability from Aero Trench technology.
• Offers impressive controlled power, speed, and enhanced spin capability.

The highest-spin producing racquet in company history, the new VCORE embraces the latest in Yonex technology, such as a drag-reducing Aero Trench and Liner Tech, meaning the strings enter the racquet at a straighter angle, to allow for easy access to incredible spin.

Yonex has also expanded the location of the Aero Fin grooves to include not just the upper hoop but also the lower portion of the head. This technology is complemented by an Aero Trench grommet system that submerges the grommets to further reduce wind resistance. The upshot of these technologies is easier acceleration, which will help you load the ball with pace and spin. The VCORE 98 also gets updated with a material called Namd, which is a uniquely flexible graphite designed to increase frame torque, ball pocketing and spin. On groundstrokes, this racquet feels wonderfully fast and spin-friendly. 

On service returns and volleys, the VCORE 98 (285) comes around fast to deliver very easy targeting. Intermediate players should appreciate the raw speed, especially on serve where this stick explodes powerfully through contact.

Used by Players

Steve Johnson (USA) - Arguably one of the best college tennis players to ever play the sport, Steve Johnson has elevated his game from the college ranks to the ATP Tour. Born and raised in southern California, Johnson captured his fourth ATP title - and second of the year - this past July at the Hall of Fame Open in Newport, RI. Dictating points with his strong serve and forehand, the 28-year-old reached the third round at all four Grand Slams and has a bronze medal from the 2016 Rio Olympics to his name.

Technologies

Aero Fin - Aerodynamic fins that were featured in the VCORE SV have also been upgraded and positioned towards the bottom of the VCORE’s frame. The new Aero Fins are strategically carved out sections that allow for improved maneuverability.



Aero Trench - To achieve faster head speeds for increased spin potential, the new Aero Trench reduces drag by uniquely hiding the grommets located at the top of the racquet frame.



Liner Tech - By dramatically reducing the string entry angles in select grommets, the outer main strings are elongated to produce a wider sweet spot, providing greater snapback. With added string movement, players can grab the ball to apply extra spin.



Isometric - ISOMETRIC™ technology continues to help the world’s greatest players achieve global success. Developed over 30 years ago, the ISOMETRIC™ design increases the sweet spot by 7%*. Compared to a conventional round frame, a square-shaped ISOMETRIC™ racquet generates a larger sweet spot by optimizing the intersection of the main and cross strings. ISOMETRIC™ delivers greater control without sacrificing power. ISOMETRIC™ is a Trademark of Yonex CO., LTD. *Tested by Yonex
