Yonex TVCORE 98 rubyred 305g G2

This cool and easy-to-handle racquet is getting a more powerful frame for 2026.

We present the 2026 VCORE 98! Like its predecessor, this racquet features a 630 cm² head with an open string pattern and Yonex's modified ("Energized") Isometric head shape, which offers an enlarged frame at the top for more spin and power. On the court, the VCORE 98 is surprisingly fast, making it great for chasing down balls, generating strong spin, or reacting quickly at the net. Compared to the VCORE 100, this racquet provides a more precise and predictable response, allowing you to hit your targets with speed more easily or pull the trigger at the end of a long rally. For 2026, Yonex has redesigned the frame, giving it a faster, more aerodynamic shape while reinforcing key areas for added stability and power. Other innovations for 2026 include widening the grommet holes for more string movement and better snapback effect, as well as extending the inner groove at the tip for increased flexibility and feel. As with the previous generation, this racquet incorporates a thin, elastic film (Servo Filter) within layers of 2 NAMD FlexForce Graphite, allowing the racquet to flex optimally while absorbing unwanted vibrations. This racquet also features a Vibration Dampening Mesh integrated into the handle to further enhance dampening. Ultimately, Yonex has delivered an impressive update to the VCORE 98. Advanced and experienced players seeking a spin-friendly weapon with a soft and lively feel will love this update.
