For intermediate to advanced players looking for a longer racquet to generate aerodynamic spin on every shot with continuous comfort. The Yonex Vcore 98+ Ruby Red (2026) extends the performance of the standard 98 into a longer, more powerful frame designed for players seeking extra reach, leverage, and penetrating depth. With its extended length, this model delivers added plow-through and spin potential while maintaining the refined feel and precision associated with the Score series. The 98 sq. in. head provides a controlled yet forgiving sweet spot, and the combination of aerodynamic design and advanced vibration-dampening technologies ensures a smooth, responsive feedback on every strike. Ideal for aggressive baseliners and all-court competitors, the 98+ offers enhanced power and stability without compromising touch or maneuverability.For intermediate to advanced players seeking a more stable, control-focused racquet that delivers precise spin and consistent feel on every shot. Technologies 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 optimising the intersection of the main and cross strings. ISOMETRIC™ technology delivers greater control without sacrificing power. Aero Trench Reduced Drag: 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 Maximum Spin Potential: Newly engineered straight hole grommets allow more string movement on off-centered shots. Vibration Dampening Mesh (VDM) First used in Yonex snowboards to reduce vibrations at impact, Vibration Dampening Mesh (VDM) is now used in four of the Yonex 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
