The Yonex VCORE 98 LG is a bit lighter, therefore a bit more nimble choice for players transitioning from intermediate to advanced level of play, seeking more spin and speed without losing control and feel. The racket offers enhanced flex and better snapback thanks to the Nanometric XT technology, and the 2G-Namd Flex Force combines excellent flexibility with durability and efficient energy transfer on each stroke. Furthermore, the racquet weighs 285g (10.1oz) and offers head light balance for added control and smoother handling, whilst the combination of Aero Fin and Trench technologies provides enhanced speed and agility due to eliminated air drag. Also, the 98in2 head boasts the Isometric shape which expands the sweet spot for more power, enhances the consistency with better accuracy on the off-center strokes, and overall superior control. The VCORE also ensures a more dampened feel by utilizing the VDM technology - a coat of Vibration Dampening Mesh layer around the graphene construction. The frame is manufactured in Japan and supplied pre-strung with a rad Fusion Rev 1.25 string in an open, spin-friendly 16x19 string pattern.
