Description

The Yonex VCORE 98 Tour (8th Generation) is designed for advanced players seeking strong spin, precision, and control. Its 98 sq. in. head provides a control-oriented response, rewarding players who consistently hit the sweet spot. Weighing 11.1 oz with a head-light balance, it offers excellent stability for powerful shots while maintaining maneuverability for quick reactions and spin-heavy swings.

New grommets increase string movement for better snapback and spin, while aerodynamic refinements help generate faster racquet head speed.
