New to the Yonex VCORE Tour 97 310 is AeroFin technology: aerodynamic “fins” in the top of the racket head reduce air resistance, allowing for faster swings and serves. The low 31.0 balance point also makes this racket easy to maneuver. Yonex’s renowned isometric (angled) head shape creates a larger sweet spot and minimizes energy loss on off-center hits. The extra-wide 21st cross string provides additional control.
The Yonex VCORE Tour F 97 310 is designed for players with a long, full swing who generate enough power themselves and are primarily looking for extra control. The relatively dense 16/21 string pattern delivers just that. As a result, the frame does not provide a huge amount of power or spin on its own. However, AeroFin technology reduces air resistance, making the frame easy to swing—a benefit that is especially noticeable when serving.
For players who prefer polyester strings, a softer polyester string is recommended due to the high string density of the Yonex VCORE Tour F 97 310. Similar rackets: Wilson Blade 98 18/20, Babolat Pure Strike 18/20, Wilson Pro Staff 97, Tecnifibre T-Fight 315 Dynacore.
