The Yonex VCORE 100L (7th Generation) is the lightweight, faster-swinging sibling of the standard VCORE 100. Released as part of the 2023 update, this racquet is engineered for players who want the explosive spin and power of the VCORE series but need a more maneuverable, arm-friendly package.
While the standard version features the signature Scarlet Red paint job, the technical internal technologies remain identical to the limited "Sand Beige" edition.
Core Overview :
- The "L" in 100L stands for Light. Weighing in at 280g (9.9 oz) unstrung, this racquet is significantly easier to whip through the air than the 300g version. This extra speed is the key to its performance, allowing players to generate the rapid head speed necessary for heavy topspin and pace.
Key Performance Technologies
- Redefined Frame Shape: The 7th Gen features a thinner beam at the top of the hoop and a wider face at the 2 and 10 o’clock positions. This design increases the "hitting area" and allows the racquet to cut through the air with less drag.
- 2G-Namd™ FlexForce: This advanced graphite technology in the throat and lower frame allows the racquet to flex and snap back instantly. This "snapback" effect is what launches the ball with high-trajectory spin.
- Silicone Oil Infused (SIF) Grommets: A specialized lubricant is used within the grommets to reduce friction between the string and the frame. This maximizes string movement for increased "bite" on the ball.
- Vibration Dampening Mesh (VDM): Integrated into the handle, this stretchy mesh material wraps around the graphite to filter out unwanted vibrations, providing a cleaner, more comfortable feel at impact.
On-Court Character
Maneuverability: This is the racquet's greatest strength. It is exceptionally easy to position at the net for volleys and allows for a very fast "brushing" motion on serves and groundstrokes.
Spin Potential: Thanks to the open 16x19 string pattern and the "snapback" technologies, players can easily hit high-arching balls that drop deep into the court.
Forgiveness: The 100 sq. in. ISOMETRIC™ head shape provides a generous sweet spot, meaning you still get decent depth and control even when you don't hit the dead center of the strings.
