Yonex is always making great racquets better. The new VCore 95 Gen. 8 model is no exception. More feel, more precision, and more spin gets you more wins. And, now with more aesthetic appeal. How did they do it? Isometric- Developed over 30 years ago, the ISOMETRIC™ design increases the sweet spot by 7%*. Compared to a conventional round frame, a square-shaped ISOMETRIC™ racquet generates a larger sweet spot by optimizing the intersection of the main and cross strings.ISOMETRIC™ technology delivers greater control without sacrificing power. Aero Trench- To achieve faster head speeds for increased spin potential, the new Aero Trench reduces drag by uniquely hiding the grommets located at the top of the racquet frame. Liner Tech- Newly engineered straight hole grommets allow more string movement on off-centered shots resulting in more spin and control. VDM (Vibration Dampening Mesh)- First used in our snowboards to reduce vibrations at impact, Vibration Dampening Mesh (VDM) is now used in four of our racquet series. VDM is a stretchy mesh material that is wrapped around the graphite within the grip to filter unwanted vibrations and improve touch and precision. 2G-NAMD™ FLEX FORCE- Aggressive, attacking spin for pinpoint control is achieved through a carbon nanotube structure that binds the graphite fibers together, which reduces energy loss. Due to its resilient properties, the material flexes and provides quick snapback. Namd™ is technology developed by Nitta Co., Ltd. to uniformly disperse carbon nanotubes in carbon fiber composites. Servo Filter- A transparent and elastic film placed between graphite layers helps bond the layers while maintaining its elastic characteristics even after the molding process. This unique film absorbs unwanted vibrations, provides fine-tuned flex and snapback to each shot,delivering precise sensory feedback from the ball to the hand. SERVO FILTER is a vibration-absorbing film developed by the Mitsubishi Chemical Group, which has high bonding properties with graphite and excels in both flexibility and durability Specifications: Headsize- 95 s.i. Weight- 310 g / 10.9 oz (unstrung) Length- 27 in. Balance- 310 (unstrung) Beam- 22mm straight beam String Pattern- 16 x 19 Ray's assessment- This is one of the most unique frames in the market. Although the VCore 95 Tour Gen.8 has a 95si head size, it is forgiving like a 98si frame. Also, it has it all: access to spin, super precision, solid feel, and a little pop for the big serve. You have waited years to be good enough for a racquet like this. This is a traditional feeling racquet for the modern game. All court all the time. If you live or die with kick serve and slice backhand, this is the racquet for you.
