Pro / Player Review

The Yonex VCore 98 Ruby Red offers a responsive and controlled feel that benefits aggressive baseliners and versatile all-court players alike. Its isometric head shape delivers a reliable sweet spot, particularly appreciated during high-paced exchanges, while the 16×19 string pattern fosters excellent spin potential. Players seeking pinpoint depth and trajectory control will find this frame rewarding, though complete beginners may prefer a larger head size for easier power generation.

It excels on more aggressive topspin strokes and on serve, though its relatively firm response demands good technique to fully harness its capabilities.

Q: Is this racket suitable for advanced beginners?

A: Yes, advanced beginners transitioning into intermediate-level play can enjoy the control and feel of this racket, but they should be comfortable generating their own power or string at a lower tension to aid power.

Q: What string tension range is recommended?

A: Yonex recommends a tension range of 50 - 59 lbs, but players may adjust within this range based on their preference for feel or control.

Q: Does the "Frame Only" version include strings?

A: No, this listing is for the racket frame only, allowing you to choose and install strings that fit your game style.

Q: Will this racket help improve spin?

A: Yes, the 16×19 string pattern and aerodynamic design aid in creating spin, especially when combined with proper technique.

Q: Who is the ideal player for this racket?

A: The racket suits intermediate to advanced players who value precision, spin, and control, and who can generate adequate racquet head speed.
