🎾🔥 Yonex VCORE α (2026) — Effortless Spin. Easy Power. Play with Confidence.

The most accessible VCORE ever — built for rising players who want spin, comfort, and control without the weight or stiffness of tour frames.

The VCORE α (Alpha) is the gateway into the VCORE family — a performance racket designed for improving intermediates, athletic beginners, and developing juniors who want to unlock modern spin and height without needing the technique or strength required by heavier models.

With its forgiving 100 sq.in. head, lightweight build, and lively 16×19 string pattern, the VCORE α produces easy depth, high-arching spin trajectories, and a smooth, confidence-inspiring feel on every shot. It’s the ideal choice for players transitioning into performance frames, for club-level competitors refining their topspin mechanics, or for adults who prefer a fast, manoeuvrable racket that still delivers stability and control.

Supported by the new 4S Spin Engine — Sweet Spot, Snapback, Speed, Stability, the VCORE α brings real Yonex technology into a more user-friendly frame so players at any level can grow into their game. 🎾✨🔥

🔥 MAXIMUM SPIN, UNLOCKED — Powered by the 4S Advantages

🎯 SWEET SPOT — Forgiving, Easy, Confidence-Building

The VCORE α features an enlarged sweet spot created by the extended upper hoop and refined internal taper — the same geometry found across the premium VCORE range.
This gives developing players:

• more forgiveness on off-centre hits

• easier height and net clearance

• better ball pocketing even at slower swing speeds

Exactly what you want when building consistent rally tempo.

💥 SNAPBACK — Spin Without Needing Tour-Level Technique

Thanks to Yonex’s horizontal grommet system, the strings move more freely, helping players produce natural topspin even with compact or developing swings.
Expect:
🔥 easier rally control
🔥 more shape on forehands and backhands
🔥 deeper shots with less physical effort

The racket helps you produce spin — you don’t need to force it.

💨 SPEED — Lightweight Handling for All-Court Play

The aerodynamic frame design allows the VCORE α to accelerate quickly even if your timing or technique isn’t perfect.
Ideal for:

• improving players learning topspin mechanics

• adults wanting something lighter than a 300 g frame

• doubles players needing quick handling at net

• juniors transitioning to their first performance racket

You swing, the racket responds — fast and fluid.

🛡️ STABILITY — Comfortable, Controlled, Easy on the Arm

Built with a softer structural profile than the pro-level VCORE models, the α offers:

• enhanced comfort

• stable feedback

• reduced vibration

• improved confidence for longer rallies

With Servo Filter, VDM, and strategically layered graphite, the frame remains controlled without being demanding.

🎾 Who Is the VCORE α For?

Perfect for:

• Improving intermediate players

• Adult beginners with athletic potential

• Club-level players wanting easy depth & spin

• Juniors upgrading from a junior frame to a full-size racket

• Anyone wanting a lighter, easier VCORE with modern feel

This is the VCORE for real-world players — the ones progressing, developing, and wanting modern performance without the physical demands of a tour frame.
