The New Shape of Spin now has a new color: Scarlet. With the VCORE 98L (285g), Yonex delivers an impressive combination of speed and spin to intermediate players. At 285g unstrung, this stick is lighter and faster than the 305 version, but it still manages to deliver similar levels of precision and feel. For 2021, the VCORE 98 still features an open and spin-friendly string pattern (16x19). Yonex has also expanded the location of the Aero Fin grooves to include not just the upper hoop but also the lower portion of the head. This technology is complemented by an Aero Trench grommet system that submerges the grommets to further reduce wind resistance. The upshot of these technologies is easier acceleration, which will help you load the ball with pace and spin. The VCORE 98 LG also gets updated with a material called Namd, which is a uniquely flexible graphite designed to increase frame torque, ball pocketing and spin. On groundstrokes this racquet feels wonderfully fast and spin-friendly. The manageable swingweight (313 RDC) will enable intermediate players to execute shots on the run, with plenty of pace and spin resulting from how easily this stick whips through contact. As with so many of the Yonex racquet's we've hit, stability is high for the weight, and the Isometric head shape seems to give it a more luxurious sweetspot than its competitors. On service returns and volleys, the VCORE 98 LG comes around fast to deliver very easy targeting. Although it is not as stable as the heavier VCORE 98, intermediate players should appreciate the raw speed, especially on serve where this stick explodes powerfully through contact. All in all, the VCORE 98 LG is a great option for the rising intermediate who wants a speedy weapon with easy targeting and great feel. Racquet series played on Tours by Rybakina, Shapovalov, Garcia and many others.
