Yonex VCORE 98L Tennis Racquet 2023 4 1/4
The seventh generation VCORE is a masterpiece of technology and craft. The evolution of this iconic racquet combines undeniably precise spin and remarkable control, creating a true work of art. With its redesigned beam and softer feel, the 2023 VCORE 98 continues it's reign as one of the game's most well-built player's racquets. Like previous versions, this is a speedy spin monster with great ball feedback. Offering easier power than the VCORE 95, the VCORE 98 gives you the benefit of a larger margin of error without sacrificing the precision that experienced players crave. It's also extremely fast, making it great for cranking winners on the run or reacting quickly at net. For 2023 Yonex overhauls the ISOMETRIC head shape by creating an even roomier, more luxurious hitting zone in the upper hoop. The payoff is a more forgiving and stable hitting experience, with an expanded spin window and juicier levels of power. Yonex has also recontoured the VCORE shaft and made slight tweaks to the beam throughout the frame. 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 more vicious ball rotation. Yonex has also lowered the RA, giving this stick an even more buttery feel at impact. Like the previous generation, this racquet benefits from 2-NAMD FlexForce Graphite in the upper shaft and lower hoop, enabling the racquet to flex optimally through impact. Ultimately, this redesigned VCORE 98 checks all the right boxes. Experienced players looking for spin, precision and feel should give this one a very serious look.

I love this racquet. I like to play heavy forehands, the one-handed backhand with variation, and serve with spin. This racquet is perfect for my game style. I play with hyper-g and it's a great combo with this racquet. I'm happy with this weapon, recently I have been able to defeat players 5.0+ (Probably I will buy another one to forget about racquets lol) Overall- great racquet for heavy strokes and spin with control

I’ve played Yonex for most of my adult life. This racket has given me the confidence to hit out on my forehand. Very solid, great feel, there’s nothing I can’t do with this stick. Highly recommended.

One of my favorite racquets I've hit with. I'm a 4.0 player, and have gone through around 5 different racquets over the years (I normally play with a choice for one to two years before trying out another), and this was an immediate win. Fantastic and whippy to get my one-handed backhand around quickly, and for speedy forehand returns, drop shots, and slices. It's a dream.

It has power spin and control... Everything you need in a racquet !Feels like a 97 to 98 sq inch head.Swings fast through the air ... Would not recommend this racquet to players 4.5 and below.
Switched from Babolat Pure Drive after 14 years. Looking for more control and accuracy, and I found it with this racquet. Took about 45 days to get used to the feel. Pinpoint accuracy on volleys I never had with Babolat. Great for grounds strokes, especially my one handed backhand. Three months later, I am so glad I made the switch.
Tim was super helpful and friendly. I explained my tennis level to him, showed him my old racquet, then let him guide me. He is obviously well versed in the sport, and helped me choose a great racquet, which was well within my budget. Definitely will be shopping here in the future!
Very good experience. The racquet has plenty of power, perhaps not quite as much as the Federer Wilson racquet but it’s more maneuverable than the Wilson and doesn’t give up that much power.The racquet is very comfortable on the arm and gives a very nice feel off the strings. I strung it at 54 lbs with Luxulon Alu Power.Very happy with the 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.
I bought this used racquet recently & I was pleasantly surprised as I was not expecting it to be in such a good condition with rating 8. It is like almost new with the visible wear as was already mentioned. Really happy & shared the same in my tennis group. Already one another racquet order has been placed now from the group member. Keep up the good work.
I have been using the Ezone 100L and thought it was a good racquet for me as an older player. The Vcore 100L feels lighter even though both are 9.9 ounces unstrung. I did feel like I got more spin and could swing easier on all shots.
