This extended length racquet combines impressive stability with an irresistible combination of power, precision, and spin
Yonex adds another chapter to the VCORE 98+! Boasting an extended 27.5" length, this stick will enable you to turn up the heat on groundies and serves. It also packs a 330+ swingweight, giving you the needed mass for driving the ball powerfully through the court or redirecting the pace of a heavy-hitting opponent. For 2023, in addition to creating a softer feel Yonex widens the surface area of the upper hoop, resulting in a more stable, powerful, and spin-friendly hitting experience. Yonex has also recontoured the shaft in order to enhance torsional stability, resulting in less power loss on off-center impact. Other new features include SIF Grommets, which enhance string movement for added snap-back and more vicious ball rotation. Like the previous generation, this racquet benefits from a 2G-NAMD FlexForce graphite in the upper shaft and lower hoop, enabling the racquet to deflect and snap back effectively through impact. Advanced players looking for a stable and spin-friendly weapon should love this one. The big power potential on groundies, overheads, and serves makes this an obvious choice for aggressive ball strikers.

Yonex VCORE 98+ RacquetLove this extended racquet. The extra half inch in length moves the sweetspot further from my hand to right where I like it. Its flexibility gives it the soft feel I prefer. I also like that it seems more head heavy than most modern racquets. Though the published balance point does not indicate this, the higher than usual published swing weight does indicate more head heaviness. This could all be my age, as I grew up with soft racquets with small heads strung with gut that tended to be head heavy.
