🎾✨ Yonex VCORE PLAY (2025) — Spin Made Simple. Tennis Made Fun.
The perfect first step into the world of performance tennis.
The Yonex VCORE PLAY is designed for new players, recreational adults, and developing juniors who want a racquet that feels instantly comfortable, easy to swing, and supportive of proper technique. With its generous 100 sq.in. head, forgiving sweet spot, and lightweight 270 g frame, the PLAY model gives beginners everything they need to enjoy tennis from day one — effortless power, dependable control, and stable, spin-friendly performance.
The PLAY introduces Yonex’s new 4S Spin System in a simplified, user-friendly form, helping newer players hit with height, shape, and consistency. Whether you're hitting your first forehand, rallying for cardio, or learning serves and slices, the VCORE PLAY helps every stroke feel smoother and more confident.
If you want a racquet that helps you build good habits, reduces mishits, and makes the game easier — this is your starting point.
🔥 THE 4S SPIN SYSTEM — MADE FOR NEW PLAYERS
🎯 SWEET SPOT — Maximum Forgiveness
A large 100 sq.in. head combined with Yonex's ISOMETRIC geometry delivers:
-
a bigger sweet spot
-
cleaner contact
-
fewer framed shots
-
more depth and height on rally balls
Perfect for players still developing timing.
💥 SNAPBACK — Easy Spin, Less Effort
The horizontal snapback grommets allow the strings to move more freely, creating:
-
natural topspin
-
higher net clearance
-
safer, more consistent rally patterns
-
confidence to accelerate through the ball
The PLAY makes spin intuitive — even if you’ve never hit with modern topspin before.
💨 SPEED — Lightweight Handling for All
At 270 g, the VCORE PLAY ensures:
-
fast preparation
-
easier swings
-
quicker improvement
-
less fatigue during longer sessions
Players transitioning from rental racquets will feel an instant sense of control and comfort.
🛡️ STABILITY — Clean, Comfortable Feedback
Even though this is an entry model, Yonex includes stabilising technologies like:
-
VDM (Vibration Dampening Mesh)
-
High-quality HM Graphite
-
A stable frame profile for controlled power
You get a smooth, arm-friendly feel that encourages proper technique and keeps confidence high.
