🎾🔥 Yonex VCORE 26 (2025) — Junior Spin Weapon. Control, Confidence & Acceleration.
For rising players aged 10–12 developing real power and modern topspin.
The Yonex 08 VCORE 26 (2025) is a true performance racquet crafted for ambitious juniors who are transitioning into full-court tennis and need a frame that supports advanced technique. Designed with the same performance DNA as the adult VCORE lineup, the 26-inch model delivers exceptional spin, clean contact, and fast acceleration — all in a form that suits developing strength levels.
With a responsive 100 sq.in. head, a lightweight 250 g build, and a spin-optimised 16x19 pattern, the VCORE 26 gives juniors a dynamic mix of forgiveness and explosive potential. Whether they’re learning to shape the ball, hit controlled rally height, or apply pressure from the baseline, this racquet turns intention into results.
If your young player is showing commitment, playing matches, or beginning structured coaching, the VCORE 26 is the right tool to elevate their game.
