Yonex Vcore 98

Improved Maneuvering

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.

Reduced Drag

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.

FOR BALL BITE AND SPIN

A thin grommet nozzle is inserted into a larger frame hole allowing the string to move together with the grommet for faster snapback. 

INCREASED BALL CONTACT AREA = INCREASED TOPSPIN
A wider frame at the 2 o’clock and 10 o’clock position increases the ball contact area, producing a higher launch angle and increasing topspin.

LESS FRICTION = MORE POWERFUL SPIN
Silicon oil infused within the grommets reduces friction by 26.3%, allowing the strings to quickly flex and return to their original position. This rapid string snapback generates faster, more powerful spin.

MORE STABILITY = MORE CONTROL
Area 1’s T-shaped cross section and Area 2’s H shape creates torsional resistance for 3.4% more stability. By reducing power loss, this new throat design delivers more control.

HIGH SNAPBACK = MORE SPIN
Unlike conventional graphite, which hardens in response to weight and high speeds, this highly elastic graphite flexes and snaps back after impact. This results in greater spin and faster acceleration off the string bed.

LESS AIR RESISTANCE = FASTER SWING SPEED
Aero Trench (found at the top of the frame) and Aero Fin Technology (located throughout the frame) reduce air resistance to create a faster, more aerodynamic frame.

LARGER SWEET SPOT = GREATER POWER + CONTROL
The square-shaped ISOMETRIC racquet creates a 7% larger sweet spot compared to a conventional round frame. With a larger sweet spot, players get more power, control, forgiveness, and of course—spin.
