VCORE 100 8th Gen

Introducing the 8th generation of the VCORE 100 ! With this 2026 update, Yonex makes incremental changes to the beam while keeping the plush feel, spin-friendly targeting, and easy power for which this model is known. Like other members of the VCORE family, this racquet's Isometric head shape has been modified with a wider contact zone at 10 and 2 o'clock, resulting in a larger spin window along with easier power and a higher launch angle (think easy depth). Boasting a swingweight in the mid 320s, the VCORE 100 delivers a stable ride, while still offering enough all-court speed to attack the net and close out points . For 2026, Yonex redesigns the beam, giving it a faster, more aerodynamic shape while also thickening it in key locations for added stability and power. Additional 2026 updates include widening the grommet holes for increased string movement and greater snapback, as well as lengthening the inner trench at the tip for added flex and pocketing. To help with comfort, this racquet integrates a thin, elastic film ( Servo Filter ) within the layers of NAMD FlexForce Graphite, allowing the frame to flex optimally while also absorbing harsh vibrations. This effect is complemented by a Vibration Dampening Mesh integrated into the handle, which further softens impact. Intermediate and advanced players looking for a plush and powerful racquet with impressive spin-potential should add this to their demo list.
