Description

The VCORE 98L is suitable for a wide range of players who need a racquet to provide great control potential that is exceptionally meneuverable for easier access to spin. This racquet is more maneuverable than the heavier 98 which makes it easier to deliver faster head speed for improving players.

The headsize of 98 square inches is on the smaller side of average and will provide players with a control-oriented response that should satisfy players consistent in hitting with a smaller sweet spot. The weight of the frame is 10.1 ounces and being on the lighter side of average will provide players with a blend of stability for power response and exceptional maneuverability for easier handling to generate spin and enable quick reactions. It's head light balance further enhances the maneuverability. The open string pattern will enable greater spin potential, additional power and a more forviging sweet spot. The racquet's frame has been slightly thickened from the previous edition which improves the frame's stability and power generation.

In this generation, Yonex has added Flex Force, a graphite material incorporated in the upper throat to the lower frame to improve snapback of the racquet for improved spin generation. The design process for the frame has also considered its aerodynamics and has been molded to reduce air resistance which will enable easier maneuverability and as a result increased spin potential. The grommet system has been redesigned with String Sync Grommets which similarly improved movement of the strings and consequently improves snapback for greater ball bite and spin potential. The racquet's grip has a Vibration Dampening Mesh wrapped around the handle to improve comfort. As usual, the VCORE racquet series hoop is designed using Yonex's signature Isometric head shape so it benefits from a forgiving sweet spot for increased power without sacrificing the racquet's control.

Yonex has kept much of the previous VCORE 98L intact, while improving on its maximum spin potential, stability and power generation. This racquet will satisfy improving players who need a racquet that delivers on control but makes it easier to generate racquet head speed for maximum spin and power.

Photos used contain images of strings for illustration purposes. Adult tennis racquets are unstrung unless otherwise noted or stringing services have been selected above. Brand logo stencils are not applied by default with stringing services. If you request brand logo stencils, please note that a stencil is painted onto the strings within a brand's stencil and may wear off over time - this is how stencils are applied on tour. Depending on the string you select, the stencil paint application fullness, colour and visibility may vary.
Adult racquets generally do not come with covers. To protect your racquet, we recommend getting a racquet bag.

Product specs such as weight may vary slightly from racquet to racquet to what is advertised due to the manufacturing process.

Adult Racquets Sizing Information
Grip Size Length
L0 (4") 4" (4 inches)
L1 (4 1/8") 4 and 1/8" (4.125 inches)
L2 (4 1/4") 4 and 2/8" (4.25 inches)
L3 (4 3/8") 4 and 3/8" (4.375 inches)
L4 (4 1/2") 4 and 4/8" (4.5 inches)
L5 (4 5/8") 4 and 5/8" (4.625 inches)

To determine your grip size without using a racquet, measure from the tip of your ring finger to the major fold crease in your palm. Write down the distance to the nearest 8th of an inch. This is your standard grip size.

Grip size palm measurements for tennis racquets

If you fall somewhere between the measurements, it is recommended to choose the smaller grip size as you can always build the grip size up using an overgrip (for a slight increase) or a grip build-up sleeve (for a half or full size increase). The grip measurements above factor in the pre-installed factory grip.
