DESCRIPTION:

Designed for players who like to control the rally by hitting deep into the court with powerful driven groundstrokes. Grommets are structured so that strings are prevented from moving to maintain higher face tension. The 16x20 string pattern provides a solid feel at impact for more powerful driven shots.

New VCORE has deeper cross section grooves which increases racquet stiffness and reduces frame twist on off center hits. X Fullerene adds additional stiffness and repulsion power for the quickest response and best face stability ever achieved in a Yonex racquet.

Item #: VCORE98D

TECHNOLOGY:

3-D VECTOR SHAFT: The deeper grooves in the 3D Vector Shaft improves racquet stiffness and reduces twisting of the frame for 20% more face stability than a conventional racquet. It also delivers precise control at impact and greater bite for the most efficient transfer of power.



ISOMETRIC: The Isometric Square Head Shape reduces the inert space found in a conventional round frame. As a result, the racquet is easier to swing through and has superior maneuverability with a 10% bigger sweetspot than an ordinary round head racquet. The sweetspot is the area of a racquet where the longest main and longest cross strings meet in the stringbed. In an ordinary round frame racquet, the sweetspot is where the 8 main and 11 cross strings meet. In the Yonex Isometric Square Head racquet, 10 main and 13 cross strings meet in the stringbed to produce a sweetspot that is 10% larger than the effective hitting area of a conventional round head racquet. With more strings of equal length and a larger effective hitting area in the stringbed, the Isometric Square Head Shape provides consistently accurate shots, giving more power, control and more effective off-center hits.

X-FULLERENE: Positioned at the top of the frame, X-Fullerene bonds the carbon fibers in a revolutionary cross-linking pattern. Increased bonding strength within the material prevents the face twisting from a hard impact. X-Fullerene also makes it possible to create a thinner frame to reduce air resistance but retain quick maneuverability.

IPS: Integrated Power Weight System positions extra weight at the sides of the frame to give the face a greater moment of inertia.

OVAL PRESSED SHAFT: OPS technology builds into the throat, the right amount of flex for an extended dwell time for easier spin and directional control.

SUPER CUSHION GRIP: Super Cushion Grip minimizes vibration. The grip's cushioning performance helps protect the wrist, forearm and elbow against shockinduced injuries.

Note: This racquet comes with protective sleeve, not a traditional racquet cover. You may substitute a racquet cover for the protective sleeve for $9.95 at checkout if you would like?
