Racket Specifications
Balance & Flex Profile
The Yonex VCORE 100 (8th generation, item code 08VC100) is a spin-focused tennis racket for players who play aggressive, spin-loaded tennis. A 100 sq in head, a modern 300g weight and aerodynamic refinements give manoeuvrability, stability and ball-shaping precision, here in Ruby Red and supplied unstrung.
Whether you hit heavy topspin, drive through the court or carve angles to pull opponents wide, it is fast through the air, solid at impact and forgiving – a strong choice for confident baseline attackers and all-court competitors. What defines this generation is Yonex's 4S Spin System, a full engineering overhaul aimed at more spin from every swing speed and every hitting zone.
Key Features
The 4S advantages are designed to give spin on demand, without forcing the swing:
- 1) Sweet spot – a redesigned upper frame gives the largest sweet spot ever in the VCORE 100 series. An extended top length adds surface area for cleaner contact, fewer mishits and easier spin on stretched defence; an extended tapered inner frame improves pocketing and dwell time for a deeper ball grab and controlled launch. Result: reliable, heavy spin even when you aren't perfectly set.
- 2) Snapback – new horizontal grommets at the top of the frame let the strings move laterally with far less resistance, increasing string snapback. That means sharper bite on the ball, more RPM on topspin drives, higher kick on serves and more margin for aggressive angles.
- 3) Speed – a beam shaped to reduce air drag makes the racket easier to accelerate. Faster racket-head speed means more spin, more whip on forehands, quicker acceleration for on-the-rise hitting and quick changes of direction.
- 4) Stability – Servo Filter, a new vibration-damping layer in the graphite layup, filters unwanted shock for a very clean feel; 2G-Namd™ Flex Force improves shaft snapback and controlled flex for spin and pocketing; VDM (Vibration Dampening Mesh) reduces harsh feedback for comfort and stability on fast swings; and Yonex's high-quality carbon construction improves rigidity and torsion control.
Performance Overview
- Heavy, shape-loaded spin – the 16×19 pattern, expanded sweet spot and aerodynamic frame create deep-kicking, high-arching spin that pushes opponents back.
- Forgiving all-court power – the 300 g weight and 320 mm balance give accessible depth and easy racket-head acceleration.
- Fast, controlled feel – Servo Filter and VDM keep the racket stable, smooth and responsive on every strike.
- Confidence from any position – countering on the stretch or dictating from the baseline, it stays controlled and predictable.
Who Is It For?
- Modern baseliners who love heavy topspin
- All-court attackers who want easy acceleration
- Intermediate to advanced players seeking a forgiving but high-performance frame
- Anyone looking for a blend of spin, power and stability
