Updated with a more responsive hitting zone and softer feel, the VCORE 98L gives intermediate players an impressive combination of speed, spin and feel. By combining a 98 square inch head with a sub 11 ounce weight, Yonex has created an extremely fast and accurate weapon. As with the previous generation, this racquet was built to enable improving players to achieve the stroke speed required for effective pace and spin. For 2023 Yonex reengineers the frame's geometry. In addition to redesigning the shaft and making the beam's face thinner, Yonex has widened the surface area of the racquet's upper hoop, resulting in a more stable, powerful and spin-friendly hitting experience. Other new features include SIF Grommets, which deploys a silicone oil infusion to reduce the friction between the string and grommet. The upshot is greater string movement for increased snapback and easier access to spin. Yonex has also lowered the RA, giving this stick even better feedback than previous versions. As with the previous generation, this racquet has 2-NAMD FlexForce Graphite in the upper shaft and lower hoop, enabling the racquet to deflect and snapback effectively through impact. Ultimately, with its combination of speed, spin and precision, the 98L continues to be a seductive option for improving intermediate players. The softer feel and higher sweetspot makes this one awfully hard to resist.

Awesome racquet
I recommend demoing this racquet first - somebody on a public court was kind enough to lend me his VCore 98 to try out - very happy to have tried it.When you hit your first ball with this racquet, do not be surprised to miss hit long. It is stiff, and very whippy and as a result, difficult to control. But once you get dialed in (roughly 30 min., yes, I've exceeded the half-an-hour mark on public courts to get dialed in) it is a great racquet.Serves: if you hit flat mostly, this serve is still achievable with good pace, but don't be surprised to add a little spin on your flat, naturally. The selling point was the second serve. If you have a threatening second serve (kick), seriously consider this racquet because you will be surprised as to how much spin and pace ... MoreI recommend demoing this racquet first - somebody on a public court was kind enough to lend me his VCore 98 to try out - very happy to have tried it.When you hit your first ball with this racquet, do not be surprised to miss hit long.

The selling point was the second serve. If you have a threatening second serve (kick), seriously consider this racquet because you will be surprised as to how much spin and pace you will generate with almost machine-like consistency. Excellent stability.Groundstrokes: Good if you like to add spin. I've also noticed you can routinely sustain a good rally with ease as this racquet slices the air like butter. No noticeable instability.Volleys: have not tried due to time constraints, however this is a maneuverable racquet (judging from the groundstrokes) and I imagine it would be stable on impact, and controllable.
The racquet is lovely to play nicely balanced and the string pattern is just right. It's not too heavy so easy on the arm and the slightly larger head area gives a bigger sweet spot for more accuracy during match play. I would highly recommend this racquet.
Racket is for advanced level in my opinion. Great feel all round on all shots.Less powerful than some on serves but overall great feel when playing.
Great product, it’s supporting taking my game to another level
