🎾 THE YONEX VCORE 8th Gen BUYING GUIDE (Adult Range)

Find your perfect spin weapon – explained clearly, model by model

Spin has a new identity.
The 8th-generation Yonex VCORE series introduces the all-new 4S Spin System, delivering a sharper, faster, more confidence-inspiring spin experience across the entire adult lineup.

4S Spin System

• Sweet Spot – bigger, more forgiving, more consistent

• Snapback – enhanced string movement for effortless rotation

• Speed – faster frame acceleration through the air

• Stability – cleaner, more confident ball strike

With a wide adult lineup covering advanced, intermediate, and improving players, choosing the right VCORE matters far more than choosing the most powerful one. This guide breaks down every adult VCORE model by level, weight, spin, power, and control—so you can choose with confidence.

Note: Junior models (25 / 26) are intentionally excluded below.

🔥 THE VCORE ADULT FAMILY — FULL OVERVIEW

🎯 WHICH VCORE SUITS YOUR GAME?

🔥 Attacking baseliners who hit BIG spin

Choose: VCORE 98 or VCORE 100

• VCORE 98
  Faster, whippier, more precise. Built for players with good swing speed who want heavy topspin with control.

• VCORE 100
  The easiest way to access explosive spin. Bigger sweet spot, more free power, less punishment on off-centre hits.

Best for: Modern baseline attackers, aggressive rally builders.

🎯 Pro-level precision & ball-shaping

Choose: VCORE 95 or VCORE 100D

• VCORE 95
  Smaller head, ultimate feel, surgical targeting. Demands clean technique.

• VCORE 100D
  18×19 pattern adds directional accuracy while still delivering spin and pace.

Best for: Advanced strikers, flatter hitters who still want spin safety.

💥 Maximum spin + extra reach

Choose: PLUS models

• VCORE 98 PLUS
  Higher contact point, bigger spin window, heavier kick.

• VCORE 100 PLUS
  Depth, height, and explosive bounce with minimal effort.

Best for: Baseliners who want heavier ball and extra margin.

⚡ Lighter, faster handling

Choose: VCORE 98L or VCORE 100L

Perfect if you:

• Have a smaller build

• Want faster racquet-head acceleration

• Play doubles or fast exchanges

98L = more precision
100L = more forgiveness

🆕 Moving up from a beginner racquet

Choose: VCORE α, ACE, or PLAY

• VCORE α → Best improver path: easy spin + rally height

• VCORE ACE → Confidence-building sweet spot, adult-friendly

• VCORE PLAY → First-time players who want instant success

These are designed to teach modern topspin mechanics, not just “get the ball over”.

🧩 CHOOSE BY PLAYSTYLE (FAST ANSWERS)

• Heavy topspin baseliner → VCORE 98 / 100 / 98+

• Flat hitter wanting control → VCORE 95 / 100D

• Counterpuncher → VCORE 98 / 98L

• Modern all-courter → VCORE 100 / 100L

• Early intermediate → VCORE α / ACE / PLAY

🎾💡 FINAL RECOMMENDATION (80/20 RULE)

If you’re unsure, start here:

• VCORE 100 → most versatile, most forgiving, most spin

• VCORE 98 → best advanced all-round option

• VCORE α / ACE → best beginner → intermediate pathway

These three cover around 80% of adult players.
