Yonex adds another chapter to the VCORE 98+!  Boasting an extended 27.5" length, this stick will enable you to turn up the heat on groundies and serves. It also packs a 330+ swingweight, giving you the needed mass for driving the ball powerfully through the court or redirecting the pace of a heavy-hitting opponent. For 2023, in addition to creating a softer feel Yonex widens the surface area of the upper hoop, resulting in a more stable, powerful, and spin-friendly hitting experience. Yonex has also recontoured the shaft in order to enhance torsional stability, resulting in less power loss on off-center impact. Other new features include SIF Grommets, which enhance string movement for added snap-back and more vicious ball rotation. Like the previous generation, this racquet benefits from a 2G-NAMD FlexForce graphite in the upper shaft and lower hoop, enabling the racquet to deflect and snap back effectively through impact.  Advanced players looking for a stable and spin-friendly weapon should love this one.  The big power potential on groundies, overheads, and serves makes this an obvious choice for aggressive ball strikers.
