Meet the most powerful member of the VCORE family. It's called the VCORE 100+ 8th Gen, and it combines an extended 27.5" length with a 16x19 string pattern and beefy swingweight. The payoff is a racquet that gives experienced players the ability to hit very powerful, spin-loaded groundies and serves. Although harder to swing than the standard length version, the VCORE 100+ offers impressive stability and plow through, making it easier to absorb and redirect the pace of a big hitting opponent. For 2026, Yonex redesigns the beam, giving it a faster, more aerodynamic shape while also thickening it in key locations for added stability and power. Additional 2026 updates include widening the grommet holes for increased string movement and greater snapback, as well as lengthening the inner trench at the tip for added flex and pocketing. To help with comfort, this racquet integrates a thin, elastic film (Servo Filter) within the layers of NAMD FlexForce Graphite, allowing the frame to flex optimally while also absorbing unwanted vibrations. This effect is complemented by a Vibration Dampening Mesh integrated into the handle, which further softens impact. The most important technology remains the ISOMETRIC head shape, which is expanded even further at 10 and 2 o'clock for the VCORE series, giving this racquet a uniquely plush and forgiving feel. Ultimately, with some nice updates to the beam and overall response, the VCORE 100+ 8th Gen checks all the right boxes, especially for those looking to bully the competition with power and spin.
