🎾✨ 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.


🎾 Who Is the VCORE α SL For?

Perfect for:

  • 🚀 Beginners wanting a simple, easy-to-swing first racket

  • 🎾 Younger juniors (10–13) stepping into a full adult frame

  • 🔄 Players returning to the game and needing comfort above all

  • 🧑🤝🧑 Casual players who want enjoyment without effort

  • 💡 Anyone who wants a featherlight spin-friendly racquet

This is the VCORE for players who want the ultimate ease of use without sacrificing modern performance.
