As known from our Japanese friends, Yonex frames are packed with premium technological applications. This is no different with the new Yonex VCORE Duel G 97:
- Tough G Fiber is implemented in the shaft: this material provides extra flex to the racket, good for a higher 'kickback' speed (the frame returns to its original position faster) for extra spin and power
Yonex VCORE Duel G Tough G Fiber
- Lock Booster System: a new tubing system on the sides of the blade that provides extra freedom of movement of the string and therefore more power and spin through new curves where the string lies over it
Yonex VCORE Duel G Lock Booster Tech
- The well-known Isometric (angled) blade shape provides a larger ideal hitting zone for the ball
- 3D Vector shaft provides increased stiffness in the heart of the racket for extra power and less racket head twisting
- Black Micro Core technology at 10 and 2 o'clock in the blade for more blade stability and vibration dampening
- An even narrower 20.0mm frame construction for more feel
Playing characteristics Yonex VCORE Duel G 97 The Yonex VCORE Duel G 97 is the successor to the VCORE Tour G. Compared to its predecessor, the VCORE Duel G 97 should offer more power and spin potential. Due to the increased flex and frame kickback of the Tough-G Fiber material, this should mean a higher bounce of the ball in topspin in addition to the extra power. It is clear that, just like with its predecessor, you need the necessary muscles to be able to play the Yonex VCORE Duel G 97. The racket is made for players with a large, full swing. Stan the Man will play with the 330 gram version, where the 310 gram version is perhaps the most commercial. In addition, there will also be a VCORE Duel G 100 in 300 grams and 280 grams and a VCORE Duel G 97 Alpha in a 290 and 270 gram version. Team mijnracket.nl will soon be testing the new Yonex VCORE Duel G rackets themselves, so stay tuned!
