The Yonex Vcore is the spin specialist of the Yonex tennis line — used by Stan Wawrinka and Casper Ruud, and engineered to generate the heaviest topspin in the Yonex range. Sturdy Racquets is expanding our Yonex Vcore range for Australian players. Contact our team to register your interest and we'll notify you when fresh Vcore stock arrives.

What is the Yonex Vcore series?

The Vcore is built for one thing above all: generating heavy, penetrating topspin. Featuring Yonex's signature Isometric head shape for a 7% larger effective sweet spot, combined with 2G-Namd Flex Force graphite, an aerodynamic frame profile, and a more aggressive head-light balance, the Vcore is the stiffer, snappier, and more attacking sibling to the powerful but dampened Yonex Ezone.

Yonex Vcore line-up

The Vcore range covers a complete spectrum of weights and head sizes. The Vcore 98 (305g, 16x19) is the players' flagship — Stan Wawrinka's frame and the choice for advanced competitive players who want maximum spin with control. The Vcore 100 (300g, 16x19) is the all-rounder — slightly more powerful and forgiving, suited to intermediate-to-advanced club players. Lighter Vcore 100L (280g) and Vcore 100SL (270g) frames suit faster swings and developing players, while the Vcore Pro (310g) caters to advanced competitors wanting extra mass.

Where the Vcore fits in our Yonex range

The Vcore is the spin-and-aggression choice in our Yonex tennis equipment collection. For a more dampened, comfort-focused power frame, see the Yonex Ezone. The Vcore demands a polyester string to bring out its full spin potential — Yonex Poly Tour Pro and Poly Tour Spin are tour-level options, while Luxilon ALU Power and Babolat RPM Blast also pair beautifully. See our polyester strings range. For comparable performance frames, browse our performance tennis racquets collection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is the Yonex Vcore designed for?
The Vcore is built for intermediate-to-advanced players with fast, full swings who want to generate heavy topspin and play aggressive baseline tennis. The Vcore 98 (305g) is the players' frame for advanced competitors; the Vcore 100 (300g) is the more accessible all-round option for developing competitive players. Lighter 100L and 100SL variants suit smaller frames or those wanting easier manoeuvrability.

What's the difference between the Yonex Vcore and Yonex Ezone?
The Vcore is spin-oriented with a stiffer, more aggressive response — built for fast swings and heavy topspin. The Ezone is power-oriented with a more dampened, arm-friendly feel — built for effortless depth and access to power. Pick the Vcore if you generate your own pace and want to attack with spin; pick the Ezone if you want a more forgiving, comfort-focused power frame.

Is the Yonex Vcore good for tennis elbow?
The Vcore is one of the stiffer frames in Yonex's range and may not be the best choice for players with significant arm sensitivity. Players with elbow issues should consider the more dampened Yonex Ezone, the flexible Wilson Clash, or pair the Vcore with a multifilament string at lower tension.

What strings work best in the Yonex Vcore?
Polyester strings are the standard choice — Yonex Poly Tour Pro and Poly Tour Spin are tour-validated options, while Luxilon ALU Power and Babolat RPM Blast are popular alternatives. Most Vcore players string at 22–25kg to maximise spin potential. Hybrid setups with multifilament crosses are recommended for players seeking some arm relief without sacrificing spin.
