🎾✨ Yonex VCORE α SL (2025) — Superlight Spin, Total Ease

The easiest racket to handle in the entire VCORE family.

The VCORE α SL is built for one purpose: to make tennis easier, more forgiving, and more enjoyable for developing players.
At just 250 g, it is the lightest racket in the 2025 VCORE line — perfect for beginners, younger juniors, and recreational players who want a fast, confidence-boosting frame that never feels heavy or punishing.

With a generous 100 sq.in. sweet spot, aerodynamic construction, and Yonex’s new 4S Spin System, the α SL helps players create effortless spin, smooth contact, and controlled depth from the first swing — even with compact, slower strokes.

If the VCORE α L is about easy progression, the α SL is about easy learning. It’s the smoothest, most comfortable stepping stone into the world of modern spin racquets.

🔥 MAXIMUM SPIN, MADE SIMPLE — The 4S Spin Advantages

🎯 SWEET SPOT — Built to Forgive and Encourage

The 08 VCORE generation features the largest upper-hoop sweet spot Yonex has ever engineered.
On the α SL, this technology shines even brighter — giving new players:

• fewer mishits

• easier lift and depth

• more stable, forgiving feel

• better consistency even with imperfect technique

The frame is designed to help you succeed, not punish mistakes.

💥 SNAPBACK — Spin That Doesn’t Require Power

Thanks to Yonex’s horizontal snapback grommet system, the strings move more freely and snap back with greater energy.

For the α SL player, this means:

• easier topspin from slower swings

• more shape and control on rally balls

• a ball trajectory that dips safely inside the court

It’s spin made accessible — no big muscles or big technique needed.

💨 SPEED — The Lightest Swing in the VCORE Family

At 250 g, the α SL delivers unmatched manoeuvrability.
Players immediately notice:

• quicker setup timing

• easier racquet acceleration

• effortless control at the net

• reduced arm fatigue

This makes it ideal for:

• young juniors moving to their first full-sized racket

• adult beginners who prefer a featherlight feel

• returning players needing ultra-easy handling

• seniors seeking comfort and injury prevention

No VCORE is faster or easier to swing.

🛡️ STABILITY — Comfort That Inspires Confidence

Even at such a low weight, the α SL doesn’t feel unstable or flimsy.
Thanks to Servo Filter, VDM, and intelligent carbon mapping, the frame reduces vibration and enhances stability where new players need it most.

Enjoy:

• softer feedback

• reduced shock on off-centre hits

• a more controlled and confidence-building feel

Yonex engineered this frame to protect your arm while supporting your progression.
