Introducing the 8th generation of the VCORE 100! With this 2026 update, Yonex makes incremental changes to the beam while keeping the plush feel, spin-friendly targeting, and easy power for which this model is known. Like other members of the VCORE family, this racquet's Isometric head shape has been modified with a wider contact zone at 10 and 2 o'clock, resulting in a larger spin window along with easier power and a higher launch angle (think easy depth). Boastinga swingweight in the mid 320s, the VCORE 100 delivers a stable ride, while still offering enough all-court speed to attack the net and close out points. For 2026, Yonex thickens the beam in key locations, resulting in greater stability and more pop. This racquet also features 2-NAMD FlexForce Graphite in the upper shaft and lower hoop, enabling the racquet to flex optimally through impact. To help with comfort, the VCORE 98 features both a Servo Filter and Vibration Dampening Mesh, two features designed to soak up harsh impact vibrations without compromising the connected feel that is so crucial to control. Intermediate and advanced players looking for a plush and powerful racquet with impressive spin-potential should add this to their demo list.
