YONEX Vcore 98L Tennis Racquet (Sand Beige, Unstrung)

YONEX Vcore 98L Tennis Racquet

Description

Yonex has unveiled a groundbreaking tennis racquet featuring new technology and an innovative structure designed to maximize string snapback and movement. This advancement allows players to achieve the highest level of spin ever offered by Yonex, enhancing their ability to execute powerful and controlled shots with greater ease. The racquet’s design focuses on improving spin generation, giving players the tools they need to add more spin to their game. By increasing string movement and snapback, it ensures that players can apply the right amount of power while maintaining precise control over their strokes. Targeted at intermediate to advanced players, this racquet is engineered for maneuverability and speed. Its advanced features make it an excellent choice for those looking to enhance their spin capabilities and elevate their performance on the court. With its cutting-edge technology, players can experience faster swings and more dynamic shot-making, gaining a competitive advantage in their game.

Technologies

• ISOMETRIC HEAD SHAPE: Since its inception over 30 years ago, Yonex's ISOMETRIC technology has revolutionized racquet design by enhancing the sweet spot by 7%. Unlike traditional round frames, the innovative square-shaped ISOMETRIC frame optimizes the intersections of main and cross strings, thereby generating a more expansive sweet spot. This engineering breakthrough delivers superior control without compromising power, offering a distinct competitive edge. The result is a racquet that harmonizes precision with force, empowering players to achieve heightened performance. ISOMETRIC remains a hallmark of Yonex's commitment to technological excellence.

• AERO TRENCH AND FIN: Aero Trench and Aero Fin Technology are designed to reduce air resistance, making it easier to maneuver the tennis racquet. By streamlining the frame, these technologies allow players to swing faster with less effort, which can be particularly helpful during quick exchanges or when trying to generate more power. This feature helps improve overall racquet control, especially when handling fast-paced shots.In addition to enhancing maneuverability, the reduced air resistance from Aero Trench and Aero Fin Technology also allows for greater spin generation. With less drag, players can focus on making cleaner, more accurate shots with added topspin or slice. This is particularly useful for those who want to add more variety to their game, giving them an advantage on different types of surfaces and against a range of opponents.

• 2G NAMD FLEX FORCE: 2G-NAMD FLEX FORCE technology improves aggressive, attacking spin and precise control through a carbon nanotube structure that binds graphite fibers, effectively reducing energy loss. This innovative design allows for better energy transfer during play, enhancing spin and accuracy. Developed by Nitta Co., Ltd., Namd technology uniformly disperses carbon nanotubes within carbon fiber composites, increasing the material's resilience. This property enables the racquet to flex and quickly snap back, providing a more responsive feel and improved performance on the court.

• SILICONE OIL INFUSED: Silicone oil-infused grommets are a recent innovation in tennis racquet technology, designed to enhance the performance of the racquet. By incorporating silicone oil within the grommets, these racquets are able to flex more efficiently during impact. This allows for a smoother interaction between the strings and the frame, reducing friction and improving energy transfer. As the racquet flexes and absorbs the force of the ball, the silicone oil helps it return to its original position more quickly. This "snapback" effect enhances the responsiveness of the racquet, leading to greater control, power, and precision during play. This feature is particularly beneficial for players looking to optimize their performance on the court.

• ENLARGED FRAME TOP: An enlarged frame at the 2 o’clock and 10 o’clock positions on a tennis racquet helps widen the contact area for the ball. This design allows players to have more surface area to hit the ball, improving the chances of making solid contact, even on off-center hits. This feature is especially useful for players looking to enhance their consistency during fast-paced rallies. Additionally, the wider frame produces a higher launch angle when the ball is struck. This can help generate more spin and lift on shots, making it easier to hit deeper into the court. For players seeking to improve their control and power, this adjustment to the frame design offers significant benefits.

• NEW THROAT DESIGN:  A new throat design introduces two distinct cross-sectional shapes to improve racquet performance. Area 1 features a T-shaped cross-section, which enhances stability by resisting torsional (twisting) forces. This structure is designed to provide more control and reduce unwanted racquet movement during powerful shots.In Area 2, the throat adopts an H-shaped cross-section, further increasing torsional resistance. This unique design helps stabilize the racquet during play, minimizing power loss and improving overall energy transfer from the racquet to the ball. Together, these sections work to provide better precision and consistency.
