Unleash unparalleled spin and speed with the VCORE 100L, the lightest in the series. Best for intermediate to advanced players, it features innovative technology that enhances string snapback and movement for maximum spin. Its lightweight, maneuverable design is perfect for fast, aggressive play.

Meet the VCORE 100L 8th Gen! With this racquet, Yonex brings spin-friendly targeting, plush comfort, and controllable power to the rising intermediate player. Like other members of the VCORE family, this racquet's Isometric head shape has been modified with an even wider contact zone at 10 and 2 o'clock, resulting in a larger spin window and easier access to power. On court, this translates into deeper, more penetrating shots. Thanks to its sub-315 swingweight, the VCORE 100L 2026 glides through impact with impressive speed, making it easier to whip up spin or hit effective shots on the run. The fast feel is also an asset at net where this stick comes around fast when the pressure is on. For 2026, Yonex redesigns the beam, giving it a faster, more aerodynamic shape while also thickening it in key locations for added stability and power. Additional 2026 updates include widening the grommet holes for increased string movement and greater snapback, as well as lengthening the inner trench at the tip for added flex and pocketing. As with the previous generation, this racquet integrates a thin, elastic film (Servo Filter) within the layers of 2 NAMD FlexForce Graphite, allowing the racquet to flex optimally while also absorbing unwanted vibrations. This racquet also comes with a Vibration Dampening Mesh, which is integrated into the handle to further enhance dampening. Ultimately, with some nice updates to the beam and overall response, the 2026 VCORE 100L is a solid update. Intermediate players looking for a speedy and spin-friendly weapon should give this one a serious look. The plush feel is a nice bonus.

Introducing the VCORE 98 8th Gen! Like the previous generation, this racquet combines a 98 square inch head with an open string pattern and Yonex's modified ("Energized") Isometric head shape, which includes an enlarged frame top for a wider spin window and easier access to power. On the court, the VCORE 98 moves surprisingly fast, which makes it great for chasing down balls, whipping up heavy spin, or reacting quickly at net. Compared to the VCORE 100, this stick offers a more precise and predictable response, making it easier to hit your targets with pace or pull the trigger at the end of a long rally. For 2026, Yonex redesigns the beam, giving it a faster, more aerodynamic shape while also thickening it in key locations for added stability and power. Additional 2026 updates include widening the grommet holes for increased string movement and greater snapback, as well as lengthening the inner trench at the tip for added flex and pocketing.

Experience explosive spin and precise control

Built with Yonex’s Energized Isometric head shape, the VCORE 98 expands the sweet spot and widens the spin window, giving you easier access to power while maintaining exceptional precision. The 98 sq. in. head and open 16x19 string pattern provide the perfect balance between control and spin, allowing you to attack confidently from the baseline and finish points at the net.

For 2026, Yonex introduces a new aerodynamic beam design that increases racquet head speed while reinforcing key areas of the frame for improved stability and power. Updated grommet technology enhances string movement and snapback, helping players generate heavier spin with less effort. The redesigned inner frame at the tip also improves ball pocketing, delivering a more connected and responsive feel on every shot.

Comfort remains a core focus. The integration of Servo Filter technology—a thin elastic film layered within the graphite construction—filters harsh vibrations while maintaining optimal frame flex. Combined with Vibration Dampening Mesh (VDM) in the handle, the VCORE 98 offers a plush, arm-friendly feel without sacrificing performance.

Fast through the air, spin-friendly, and incredibly precise, the VCORE 98 8th Gen is designed for players who want to dictate rallies, attack with confidence, and finish points with authority.
