The 7th Generation VCORE 100 has been refreshed with a beautiful beige colour scheme that is suitable for a wide range of players who are looking for a racquet to maximize spin and power that stands up to an aggressive full-court game. This racquet is easier to handle than the VCORE 98 and so will appeal to a wider range of players.
The headsize of 100 square inches will provide easier power and access to spin than the smaller head size variants (95 & 98). The weight of the frame at 10.6 ounces, being slightly on the heavier side of average, has the heft to redirect strong volleys and return of serves and the plow-through will enable great depth and power from the baseline on full swings. It's head light balance means there is minimal sacrifice to manoeuvrability which will help to achieve maximum spin. The open string pattern will also enable greater spin potential, additional power and a more forgiving sweet spot. The racquet's frame and throat design has been updated from the previous edition to improve the frame's stability and power generation.
Yonex's technology found in this racquet improves spin, power generation and overall comfort. The Silicon Oil infused grommets reduces friction between the strings and grommets thereby improving snapback of the strings which increases spin potential even further than before. Yonex has further enlarged the top of the frame which combined with the usual ISOMETRIC shape brings an even bigger sweet spot especially at the top of the string bed which allows players to make proper contact at the extent of the frame for even greater swing speed and ball spin as well as improving overall power generation and comfort that comes with a bigger sweet spot. Another key improvement is the new throat design that helps to stabilize the racquet for reduced overall power loss especially on imperfect contact with the ball. Yonex has retained the 2-NAMD FlexForce Graphite for optimized flex and snapback of the frame which provides excellent overall frame response for maximum spin potential.
The improved response, spin and comfort should elevate this racquet as a top contender for intermediate to experienced players who want a racquet to empower their dynamic and aggressive game.
