The Yonex 2026 VCORE 98 Tennis Racket 8th Gen is the latest performance tennis racket in Yonex’s spin-focused VCORE series, engineered for intermediate to advanced players who demand explosive spin, enhanced ball control, and reliable stability from every stroke. Built on Yonex’s aerodynamic framework and premium materials, this racket delivers continuous comfort and confidence on both the baseline and at net.
The 98 sq in head size and 16×19 string pattern provide a fine balance between precision and spin potential, helping you create heavy topspin while maintaining command over placement and depth. The combination of advanced graphite materials and Yonex’s proprietary technologies enables fast racquet-head speed and improved string snapback for more aggressive play.
This tennis racquet suits players who thrive on spin-driven tactics, aggressive baseline rallies, and those who appreciate a responsive frame that supports both offensive and tactical play styles.
