Yonex VCore 98 Tennis Racket (2026) [Frame Only] - Ruby Red

The Yonex VCORE 98 tennis racket is engineered for aggressive players who want maximum spin without sacrificing control or feel. Built around a 98 sq. in. head and a fast, manoeuvrable 305g frame, this 8th-generation VCORE is optimised to produce heavy topspin across a wide range of swing speeds. Yonex's refined aerodynamic frame cuts through the air faster, while an expanded sweet spot high in the hoop improves consistency on aggressive groundstrokes.

Staff Pro Review

The VCORE 98 stands out for how effortlessly it produces spin while still offering the precision advanced players demand. From the back of the court, it rewards full swings with heavy, kicking topspin and excellent ball pocketing, especially on forehands and kick serves. Compared to previous versions, this generation feels quicker through the air and more forgiving on off-centre hits, making it a superb option for modern all-court players who rely on speed, spin and confidence under pressure.
