Yonex VCORE 100+ 8th Gen Tennis Racquet

The Yonex VCORE 100+ (8th Generation) is the extended-length powerhouse of Yonex’s flagship spin line. Adding a half-inch of extra length to the standard 100 sq. in. frame, it creates massive leverage, higher swingweights (~340 strung), and extra power while retaining the line's high topspin potential.

Performance Profile

1. Explosive Power & Serve Velocity: The extended 27.5-inch length acts as a longer lever, allowing players to generate extra racquet-head speed and severe force on serves and overheads.
2. Massive Stability & Plow-Through: Due to the higher dynamic swingweight (around 340), it feels more stable than the standard VCORE 100 on off-center hits, easily plowing through heavy incoming pace.
3. 8th Gen Aerodynamic Updates: Features the refined frame geometry, wider upper hoop, and widened grommet system of the 8th Gen VCORE update, enhancing string movement for topspin snapback.
4. Plush Shock Absorption: Combines 2G-Namd Flex Force for dynamic energy return with Servo Filter and VDM (Vibration Dampening Mesh) in the handle to dampen harsh vibrations.

Best Suited For

1. Advanced Baseline Hitters: Strong players who can manage a higher swingweight to generate heavy, deep groundstrokes.
2. Big Servers: Players seeking extra reach and downward angle to get extra serve speed and high-bouncing kick.
3. Two-Handed Backhand Players: Hitters who benefit from the extra handle length and leverage on full double-handed swings.
