Yonex VCORE Si Range due late 2014

Launching soon, Withers presents the brand new YONEX VCORE Si tennis racket range due for release later this year. With updated technology and design, the VCORE Si bites back stronger than ever with further enhancements.

Firstly cosmetically, the racket looks very appealing to the eye, not too dissimilar to the Yonex VCORE Tour G as used by Stanislas Wawrinka. The new VCORE Si 98 is finished in flash orange so your opponents will definitely not miss it.

The attributes of the racket remain the same, the VCORE Si 98 comes weighing in at 305 grams with a tour headsize of 98 sq.in. Balance point at 315mm and an open stringing pattern of 16 x 20, providing good spin possibility. High modulus graphite combined with black micro core and nanometric technology to provide great comfort and playability.

New grommet hole design produces extra bite to generate more powerful spin shots.

The new YONEX VCORE Si bites back. With the enhanced grommet technology and string hole design (Bt Hybrid Stringing System), the VCORE Si allows for more main and cross string movement resulting in longer dwell time and more spin. We found with the current VCORE range, in particular the Xi 98, that spin was more apparent when strung with Yonex Poly Tour Spin 1.25mm, as this is a pentagonal shaped string it grabs the ball more precisely to produce stronger spin. So hopefully with the updated grommet technology the new VCORE Si range will provide unmatched spin potential for players.

Lastly the racket is made in Japan. We tend to find the rackets made in Japan have a better weight tolerance, i.e. if you have two of the same Yonex rackets made in Japan they should be within 5 to 7 grams of each other. Rackets made elsewhere the weight tolerance increases to 10 to 15 grams.

Here at Withers Sports we are eagerly awaiting the release of the new VCORE Si 98 and to see what the new technology has to offer. The VCORE Si range should arrive with us pre Christmas 2014.
