The new one will be released in about 2 weeks Yonex VCORE Pro series 2018/2019 . This series is made for the dominant baseliner who wants to combine spin with ball feel and precision. Stan (the Man) Wawrinka and South Korean Hyeon Chung will play with these new rackets. As is known from the Japanese brand, the new VCORE Pro series also contains a lot of technology.

Technology Yonex VCORE Pro series

Isometric leaf shape

The characteristic Isometric (angled) blade shape increases the sweet spot by up to 7%.

Name

New in the Yonex tennis rackets is Namd. Namd graphite has a unique flex that ensures a faster snapback of the frame. This allows you to 'grip' the ball even more for dominant spin.

Lock Booster System

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.

The differences with the previous VCORE Duel G series are subtle, but noticeable and visible. Around the heart of the rackets you see differences in construction and the addition of the Namd material gives the rackets a more lively feel.

Models VCORE Pro series

For the Benelux, the 3 most important models of the VCORE Pro series will be available around February 22, 2018. These are the VCORE Pro 97 of 330 and 310 grams and the VCORE Pro 100. The Yonex VCORE Pro 97 330 is the successor to the Yonex VCORE Duel G 330 and is the Wawrinka racket. The Yonex VCORE Pro 97 310 is the slightly lighter variant that is playable for a wider audience. Finally, there is the Yonex VCORE Pro 100 that plays a little more forgiving. Below are the models with specifications.

Yonex VCORE Pro 97 330

Brand: Yonex
Model: VCORE Pro 97 (330 grams)
Blade size: 97 sq/inch
Weight: 330 gr
Balance: 31.0 cm
Stringing pattern: 16×19
Length: 27 inches
RA: 65

This VCORE Pro 97 330 has an ultra-thin 20 mm frame profile for a lot of ball feel. The string pattern (16×19) is more open compared to the Duel G for more dynamics and spin. Very powerful and stable weapon!

Yonex VCORE Pro 97 310

Brand: Yonex
Model: VCORE Pro 97 (310 grams)
Blade size: 97 sq/inch
Weight: 310 gr
Balance: 31.0 cm
Stringing pattern: 16×19
Length: 27 inches
RA: 64

The more accessible VCORE Pro 97 310g version remains a solid precision tool! This racquet uses the same 20mm frame construction and 16x19 string pattern as the 330g version, but is a bit easier to get around/maneuver.

Yonex VCORE Pro 100

Brand: Yonex
Model: VCORE Pro 100 (300 grams)
Blade size: 100 sq/inch
Weight: 300 gr
Balance: 32.0 cm
Stringing pattern: 16×19
Length: 27 inches
RA: to follow

This most accessible version of the VCORE Pro series does not offer the punch and precision of the heavier 97 sq/inch models, but plays very consistently for a 100 sq/inch racket.
