The observant viewer has already seen that Stan Wawrinka is playing with a brand new racket from the current year. This racket will not be launched worldwide until March, but we certainly have more than a sneak peek for you! This is the Yonex VCORE Duel G 97!
Brand: Yonex Model: VCORE Duel G Head size: 97 sq/inch Weight: 330 or 310 gr Balance: 31.0 cm Stringing pattern: 16/20 Length: 27 inch RA: 66 to 64
As our Japanese friends know, the 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 of the racket for a higher 'kickback' speed (the frame returns to its original position faster) for extra spin and power
- Lock Booster System: a new tubing system on the sides of the head that provides extra freedom of movement of the string and therefore more power and spin through new curves over which the string lies
- The well-known Isometric (angled) blade shape provides a larger ideal hitting zone for the ball
- 3D Vector shaft provides an increase in stiffness in the heart of the racket for extra power and less twisting of the racket head
- Black Micro Core technology at 10 and 2 o'clock in the blade for more blade stability and vibration damping
- An even narrower 20.0 mm 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 during topspin in addition to the extra power. It is clear that, just like 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, a VCORE Duel G 100 will also be released 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 put the new Yonex VCORE Duel G rackets through the test themselves, so keep an eye on us!
