🎾🔥 Yonex VCORE 98L (2026) — Lightning-Fast Spin With Effortless Power
The lightweight VCORE for rising competitors and attacking players who want speed, spin, and confidence in every swing.
The VCORE 98L brings the explosive spin DNA of the VCORE series into a more manoeuvrable, easy-swinging 285 g package — perfect for improving players, juniors moving up to adult frames, or anyone who wants the feel of the iconic VCORE 98 without the physical demands of a heavier model.
With its 98 sq.in. head, aerodynamic frame, and lighter mass, the VCORE 98L unlocks:
💨 Faster acceleration
🎾 Higher, shape-driven rally shots
✨ Effortless depth
🔥 Easy access to spin from any position
Even at reduced weight, it still benefits from the full suite of 4S technologies for spin generation. This is the VCORE for players who want more speed, more forgiveness, and more confidence — without sacrificing the modern performance feel of the flagship model.
🔥 MAXIMUM SPIN, UNLOCKED — Powered by the 4S Advantages
🎯 SWEET SPOT — Forgiving Power With a Controlled Feel
Yonex increased the size and effectiveness of the sweet spot through:
-
A refined upper-hoop extension
-
A newly sculpted tapered inner frame
This gives the 98L a bigger ball pocketing zone, making it easier to roll topspin, control defensive blocks, and generate height even when contact isn’t perfect.
💥 SNAPBACK — Strings That Work Harder for You
The lightweight frame means the stringbed plays an even more active role.
With Yonex’s horizontal grommet system, the 98L produces excellent snapback — providing:
-
Extra rotation
-
A naturally higher launch window
-
More forgiving spin mechanics for developing players
💨 SPEED — Whip-Like Acceleration at a Fraction of the Effort
This is where the 98L truly shines.
The aerodynamic redesign reduces drag and gives players an easy, fast racquet head, ideal for:
-
On-the-run spin passes
-
Quick defensive lobs
-
Fast, reactive counters
-
Easy racquet-head speed even late in a match
🛡️ STABILITY — Lightweight Frame, Tour-Grade Feel
Even with its 285 g weight, the VCORE 98L stays composed thanks to:
-
Servo Filter for vibration reduction
-
2G-Namd™ Flex Force for responsive flex
-
VDM for added comfort and feel
-
HM Graphite reinforcing the frame’s structure
This creates stability normally not found in lightweight frames, giving players a more professional feel.
🎾 Who Is the VCORE 98L For?
The VCORE 98L is perfect for:
-
Improving intermediates who want spin-friendly control
-
Juniors transitioning into their first full-size performance frame
-
Players who love the VCORE feel but want easier acceleration
-
Doubles players who need quick handling for reaction volleys
-
Anyone seeking a lighter setup without losing access to power or spin
If you want a performance racket that helps you swing, the 98L is the ideal fit.
