Yonex Vcore 98 2026 (305g) racket

Yonex VCore 98 2026: The Fast and Precise "Spin"

This model retains the DNA of the VCORE franchise: a lightning-fast racket head speed and an exceptional ability to make the ball jump. The major innovation lies in the integration of the 2G-Namd™ Hyper-Flex Force technology, a flexible graphite at the core that allows the frame to optimally deform at impact and then instantly return to place (snapback), thus generating aggressive and heavy spin.

Control is at the heart of this racket thanks to its compact head and ISOMETRIC™ shape. The addition of Liner Tech optimizes the string angle to maximize movement and tolerance, even on off-center hits. Comfort has also been improved with the duo of Servo Filter and VDM, eliminating unwanted vibrations for a pure feel and less fatigue.

For which type of player?

It is ideal for advanced to expert players with good arm speed and a modern playing style. It is the perfect weapon for those who like to dictate the rally with high trajectories, find short cross-court angles, and need stability to counter opponents' strikes while keeping the ball in play with lift.

Technologies

• 2G-Namd™ Flex Force: Flexible graphite promoting a quick return to place of the frame to maximize spin effects.
• ISOMETRIC™: Yonex's signature shape that expands the sweet spot for more tolerance and power without increasing the head size.
• Aero Trench: "Hidden" grommets in a trench at the top of the frame to reduce air resistance and accelerate the racket head.
• Liner Tech: Straight-angle grommet drilling that lengthens the strings to improve string movement and enlarge the ideal hitting area (sweet spot).
• Servo Filter: Transparent film placed between layers of graphite to eliminate unwanted vibrations and enhance comfort.
• Vibration Dampening Mesh (VDM): Stretchable mesh material wrapped around the graphite inside the handle to filter out aggressive vibrations and provide a precise and soft feel.
