Name: Yonex VCore 100L 2021 (FRAME ONLY)
Brand: Yonex
Availability: InStock

Description

SCIENTIFICALLY CRAFTED SPIN. The VCore features a toolbox of spin waiting to be unlocked – heavy spin, attacking spin, topspin and back spin.

A new frame design shifts the widest part of the racket, towards the top of the frame for more string movement where players make contact the most. The frame thickness in the upper hoop is also reduced by 3% for increased racket head speed. 2G-Namd Flex Force, a transformation from the previous graphite used, is incorporated in the upper throat to lower frame, allowing the racket to quickly flex and snapback for maximum spin potential.

Unique to Yonex, String Sync Grommets at the 12 and 6 o’clock positions move in sync with the main strings to increase string snapback speed, producing a ball that bites. Now incorporated into the handle, Vibration Dampening Mesh (VDM) is wrapped around the graphite within the grip to filter out unwanted vibrations.

New designs and materials are crafted to produce a vicious racquet flex, heavy ball bite, and faster racquet head speed, resulting in 5.3% more spin and a 3% steeper drop angle.

Yonex are by far the most consistent frames on the market and with good reason. Their quality control and weight tolerance is exceptional. If you have 2 or more Yonex frames, they will be pretty much identical! If there is a difference, it will be 1 or 2 grams which is hardly noticeable but can easily be made the same. If you have ever suffered from tennis elbow, then Yonex should be your first choice as they offer a bigger sweet spot and have less vibration that runs through to your arm and been manufactured in Japan, you will not find better made frames. We also have members of staff who use Yonex. They have used other brands in the past and can safely say the consistency and feel they get from Yonex frames can’t be beaten.

Please note, that unless a string is selected, this racket will be sent frame only. No head cover is supplied with this racket.

Technology:

Isometric: Increases the sweet spot by 7% compared to a conventional round frame, a square-shaped Isometric racket generates a larger sweet spot by optimising intersecting main and cross strings.

Aero Fin: Aerodynamic fins that were featured in the VCore SV have also been upgraded and positioned towards the bottom of the VCore’s frame. The new Aero Fins are strategically carved out sections that allow for improved manoeuvrability.

Aero Trench: To achieve faster head speeds for increased spin potential, the new Aero Trench reduces drag by uniquely hiding the grommets located at the top of the racket frame.

Liner Tech: Straight hole grommets elongate the strings to optimise power and comfort on off-centre shots.

Vibration Dampening Mesh: A stretchy mesh material is wrapped around the graphite within the grip to filter unwanted vibrations.

2G-Namd Flex Force: Incorporated in the upper throat to lower frame, allowing the racket to quickly flex and snapback for maximum spin potential.

String Sync Grommets: Grommets positioned at 12 and 6 o’clock move in sync with the main strings to increase string snapback speed, producing a ball that bites.

Choose your string

String choice is incredibly important as the string is what makes contact with the ball. There’s a number of factors to take into account, such as construction, gauge, tension. Below we’ve put together a short description for the range of strings that we offer. If you have any questions about string choice please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

	Babolat RPM Blast 1.25mm/1.30mm/1.35mm:	One of our best sellers, the RPM Blast is one of the most iconic strings as it was designed for Rafael Nadal. The octagonal shaping increases the grip for more spin on the ball. A silicone coating on this polyester/monofilament string prolongs the life of the string and will also let the string snap back into place rather than moving everywhere on contact. Available in a variety of gauges, the 1.25mm offers the most feel and spin, whilst the 1.30 and 1.35mm offer more durability.
	Babolat RPM Blast Rough 1.25mm/1.30mm:	For ultimate spin! This is a rougher, more textured version of the RPM Blast to increase the spin and bite on the ball. The Babolat logo is actually embedded into the string to create that spin! The 1.25mm gauge will offer you more feel and spin potential, compared to the 1.30mm which will last longer. The string that is designed to offer you spin, power and incomparable comfort all rolled into one!
	Babolat RPM Power 1.25mm/1.30mm:	This is the latest string that Babolat has designed. It is the ideal choice if you like to play with spin, but feel you need more power. An additional coating offers an exceptional crisp feel to the string. The 1.25mm gauge will offer you more feel and spin potential, compared to the 1.30mm which will last longer. As used by Dominic Thiem.
	Babolat Synthetic Gut 1.30mm:	A synthetic gut is a good all round string offering comfort and durability. If you are a frequent string breaker and play with a heavy amount of top spin, then there are better options available.
	Babolat Touch Tonic 1.35mm:	Slightly different to Babolat Touch VS as it isn’t a premium grade gut. It does however feature Thermogut technology which aids durability and resistance to humidity. The perfect choice for people who have suffered with tennis elbow and also a great choice when preferring a hybrid set up. However, durability and natural gut do not go hand in hand, especially when playing in damp conditions and outside and it isn’t cheap. The 1.35mm gauge will help with durability.
	Babolat Touch VS 1.25mm/1.30mm:	The original natural gut string! Babolat Touch VS is a premium grade gut and offers you the best of comfort, power and feel of any string, whilst being very easy on your arm and holding its tension well. The perfect choice for people who have suffered with tennis elbow and also a great choice when preferring a hybrid set up. However, durability and natural gut do not go hand in hand, especially when playing in damp conditions and outside. If you play with heavy top spin, then we’d probably suggest leaning towards a full bed of polyester as you will probably shred the gut quite quickly.. and it isn’t cheap! The 1.25mm gauge offers you maximum playability, feel and power, whilst the 1.30mm lasts longer.
	Babolat Xcel 1.30mm:	One of our softest multifilament strings, ideal for people who have suffered with tennis elbow or any arm injuries in the past. This offers a fantastic blend of feel, comfort and power. 1.30mm gauge offers better durability for a multifilament string.
	Head Lynx 1.25mm:	A good all round polyester offering exceptional touch thanks to a co-polymer mixture which also increases comfort and power. Polyester strings are usually known to be quite hard, however Head Lynx is one of the softer poly strings designed to offer more feel. A good string for the performance junior player who is breaking strings quite frequently, but we would recommend a lower tension if chosen. 1.25mm offers enhanced feel and spin, compared to a thicker gauge.
	Head Lynx Touch 1.25mm:	Lynx Touch provides a combination of power when needed and spin when desired, all while maintaining incredible touch and feel. The construction of the co-polyester monofilament strings allows for excellent playability. A faster swing increases control and spin, thanks to the outer part of the strings, whilst a slower swing enhances touch and power, thanks to the core
	Head Lynx Tour 1.25mm:	A more shaped version of the Head Lynx. This 6 sided polyester increases spin potential and offers more control as the string will grip onto the ball more. The co-polymer mixture also increases comfort and power.
	Luxilon Alu Power 1.25mm:	One of our most popular choices either in a full bed or hybrid set up. Incredible power, control and spin potential, suited for a big hitter. One of the most popular choices on the ATP and WTA circuits. For a 1.25mm gauge it offers great durability without compromising on feel.
	Luxilon Alu Power Rough 1.25mm:	One of our most popular choices either in a full bed or hybrid set up. Incredible power, control suited for a big hitter. It has a rough texture to it to create added bite and spin on the ball. One of the most popular choices on the ATP and WTA circuits. For a 1.25mm gauge it offers great durability without compromising on feel.
	Luxilon Original 1.30mm:	For frequent string breakers who need something long lasting. Holds its tension well for a polyester. We’d recommend stringing this slightly looser to provide optimum playability.
	Luxilon Savage 1.27mm:	Offering maximum spin potential because of its hexagonal shaping suited for the hard hitter wanting more control. A liquid crystaline composition enhances the feel from the string. A 1.27mm gauge will increase durability, but won’t sacrifice feel and spin potential.
	Solinco Hyper G 1.25mm/1.30mm:	A more versatile polyester offers feel and control, whilst still generating the power and spin, similar to that of Tour Bite, but a more softer feel. A string that suits a range of players from intermediate to advanced players. Available in a 1.25mm or 1.30mm gauge, the thinner gauge will enhance the feel and increase the spin and bite on the ball. A thicker gauge will last longer.
	Solinco Tour Bite 1.20mm/1.25mm/1/30mm:	One of our best selling strings that will offer you maximum power and increased spin thanks to its square shaping. Suited for the harder hitter. Available in a 1.20mm, 1.25mm or 1.30mm gauge, the thinner gauge will enhance the feel and increase the spin and bite on the ball. A thicker gauge will last longer.
	Wilson Sensation 1.30mm:	A comfortable playing string with a nice blend of feel and playability, known for its vibration dampening qualities. It has a long standing reputation as an arm friendly string. Ideal for juniors and a good choice when using it in a hybrid set up. 1.30mm gauge offers better durability for a multifilament string.
	Yonex Poly Tour Air 1.25mm:	Offers players an arm-friendly string with enhanced feel that retains power and durability better than traditional polyester strings, which reduces the impact on your arm.
