    Great review. I appreciate the detailed description and analysis, as every player is different and looks for different characteristics from their racket. I love a small head size and some weight on my stick, but picked up tennis in my later 30s and consider myself an intermediate league league player. I have really found myself playing best with rackets that have a 97-98 head size and a 322-ish swing weight once strung and with overripe/dampener. I have been playing with the VCORE 98 for the last 1.5 year and feel VERY similarly to how you view the 95. It truly is not the best racket for any one stroke/aspect, but it does everything really well. I am a serve and spin player and always looking for the holy grail for me, but have come to understand that all-around greatness IS better than excellence in 1/2 aspects but weaker in others. It kinda makes sense since you are a PRO and can handle the weight and consistent despite smaller head size. Keep the reviews coming!!

    I'm a 3.5 player and demoed tons of racquets. Including the Vcore 98, previous 95, and current 95. The new Vcore 95 is the best racquet I've ever tried. My old Pure Drive feels like a plastic toy compared to the Vcore. I don't think I'll ever play with anything else.

    You guys are making such amazing Reviews! LOVE that you talk about playability on the different backhands. So important and no one does that realy. A comparison to the Pro Staff v13 would be nice, since they sound quite similar. Also you could use that racquet as a benchmark when comparing it to other racquets. Something like Racquet of the Year vs. X. Agree on that paintjob. Cant believe they have experts for that stuff and than come up with that crap ^^

    Switching to this racquet from 2018 version, added few grams on hoop, and much more stable and forgiving than customized 2018 version which was what I was looking for, still cuts through the air very nicely and giving me even more effective one-handed backhand, serves, volleys and slices.. looks also pretty cool with a blue string (using YPTP Blue 16L).

    Best statement of the video: "This racquet adapts to you, and you don't have to adapt to it." I bought two 18x20 Wilson Blades and I constantly feel like I have to adapt my game to the rackets. Same thing with the RF97. It's never felt right to me. I was at Indian Wells in October and they had a racquet demo area so I tried this Yonex 95 and I can't stop thinking about it. My sample size was about 10 minutes of hitting but it instantly felt right to me.

    After watching this video, I borrowed a new yonex vcore 95 at my local tennis shop and I was totally blown away with the feel, maneuverability, power, spin and comfortability of the racquet. It felt exactly the same as my pure aero but more comfortable, stable and the feeling at net was great! Holy Smokes! Gonna play with it a few more times before I buy one in case this was just the infamous honeymoon period.

    I picked up the vcore sv 95 again a couple of weeks ago.
    I did not liked it when i bought it - too much power and a huge lack of feel and connection to my shots.
    Decided to give it one more try - added about 5 grams of lead tape at 12 o'clock.
    What a difference......
    So much more plow-through, and so much better connection to my shots...
    I love the fact, that you can add that extra spin when you need it.
    And the control, when you're hitting flat.
    Can you compare these two rackets?
    Great rewiew btw💪👍

    I used to love the Yonex 95s however I always wanted one in 27.25 or 27.5 length to get a little more pop without sacrificing the control it offers. The Vcore Tour F 93 was also an amazing racquet if you ever get a chance to test it.

    Hey Karue thanks for the review, I am a 3.5 almost 4.0....leaving the PStaff97 for yonex, I demoed the vcore98 and 95 at the same time of ezone and others...I have to say that maybe its personal but I prefer a lot more the 98 than the 95. The 98 is so forgiving and it has more controllable power, I feel like head light racquets allow me to hit through the ball better and build pace especially when playing against lower ranked players. The 95 weight distribution is different and to me more difficult to adapt to...sometimes I get power out of nowhere other times it just doesn't let me swing fast enough like when playing a defensive shot...pair that with tighter string pattern and its more difficult to apply topspin and keep the ball in the court, add few frames to it and to me makes no sense! So my choice is the vcore98 and I am really happy about it! I think the 95 could be good for 4.5 or higher

    Hi! I found your review abslutely perfect, you've highligted all the important stuff. Now, I'm currently playing with the Dunlop Srixon CX 200 Tour 16*19 (pre-2021), a raquet very similar to the Vcore 95, reading specs. I've customized my raquets with leather grip and a total of 9 grams of lead (distribuited at 3, 9 and 12). Now, I was considering switching from my dunlop to this Vcore 95. What are the biggest differences, in your opinion? Do you recommend this new Vcore to me? Unfortunately I can't test it here in Italy. What I'm loockng for is just a little more spin friendly stick, with a slightly bigger sweetspot. I'm an all-round player, loving big serve (also in kick) and top spin strokes. Many thanks!

    @soelms9597 3 роки тому +1

    Hello,
    I love your UA-cam channel "My Tennis HQ" and I do not miss any of your videos.
    I have watched all your tennis racket test videos several times. Your advice to improve your tennis game is superb, very professional, fun and informative.
    I am 54 years old, I have always done a lot of sport in my life, as well as my wife (former golf player). I started playing tennis for 7 months, playing 7 hours a week and a one hour lesson a week with a teacher, and I do everything to progress and improve my tennis game in all areas of play and to have a very good physical condition and using the best tennis equipment so as not to hurt myself stupidly (stable and comfortable tennis shoes like the Asics Court FF 2, Adidas Sole Court Boost, etc ...) and a lot of muscle warm-up and stretching before my tennis training, so as not to injure myself, because I have a very aggressive and offensive game.
    Otherwise Superb and beautiful video for the Yonex model tennis rackets '' VCORE PRO 97 HD '' and '' VCORE 95-2021 '', '' the new models Yonex VCORE 95/98/100 - 2021 '', and all the range '' Head Line MP '', and finally the Head Extrême Tour (which I just bought for my wife, a magnificent racket, ultra ARM FRIENDLY with an excellent compromise Control / Power).
    The Wilson Clash 100 Pro-310g racket, which I have been using for 7 months, no longer matches my game, it is very comfortable, but the problem, I have no control with this racket and I don't like the trampoline effect of this racket. I tried the babolat Pure Drive and Pure Aero for two months, these rackets are out of control and I ended up having a very severe Tennis Elbow and ended up throwing them in those shitty rackets, these are rackets for them. lazy and for those who do not want to progress in tennis, these rackets should not exist. All of the players who use these Babolat Pure Drive and Pure Aero racquets have all ended up with tennis elbows and severe wrist injuries. The Babolat brand has reduced the quality of the game in tennis, all young people today, they look like robots and machines wanting to try to lift like Nadal, while they do not master any grip, positioning, in short the normal bases tennis. It’s sad to see them playing like robots in the different tennis clubs I attend in Greece. Most have been taking classes for about ten years. Whereas me in a few months (7 months), I made progress, as if I had been playing for 7 years. My big weak point is the service. I have a very powerful first serve flat, it hits the serve area every one on 10 times, but when it passes it's an ace every time, and a 30% efficient slice serve.
    So I still have a long way to go on the serve and my two handed backhand.
    I am always looking for a new racket, type Control / Comfort.
    I almost bought the Yonex Ezone Tour you reviewed on your youtube channel, but because of my 'Tennis Elbow', I was advised to avoid the Yonex Ezone Tour.
    I hesitated a lot between several racket models ('' Yonex VCORE 95-2021 '', '' Yonex VCORE PRO 97 HD 18x20-320g '', '' ProKennex Ki Q + Tour Pro (325g), Head size 98, pattern string 18x20, SW: 327 "," Head Graphene 360+ Prestige MP, 18x20, head size 98 "," Head graphene 360+ Speed Pro, 18x20, head size 100 ''.
    And finally, following the video of '' Tennis HQ: Here Is Why The 2021 Yonex VCORE 95 Is The BEST YONEX RACKET Right Now | Racket Review '', I ended up buying the model '' Yonex VCORE 95-2021 with the Yonex PolyTour REV string stretched at 53LBS (24kg) ''.
    The racket is magnificent, very beautiful, very manoeuvrable and fast, on the other hand I hurt my wrists, elbow and shoulder extremely. This string is extremely hard and very dangerous for my elbow. Is this the problem with the '' Yonex PolyTour REV '' string or is it because of the tension stretched to 53LBS (24kg). I will try other more comfortable strings for the arm and elbow with a lower tension between 50 LBS and 51 LBS and with a softer and mellow overgrip and add 6 gr (2x 3gr) x 3 = 18 gr (at 9h, 12h and 3h) to improve the stability of the racket.
    I wanted to know, if the string (Head Lynx Tour Champagne) that you used on the '' Yonex VCORE 95-2021 '' has a tension of 58 Lbs !!!!! Is it more comfortable and ARM FRIENDLY than the '' Yonex Poly Tour Rev 1.25mm / 16g (color Bite), string tension: 53 Lbs / 24.0404 kg, which I am currently using on my new racquet '' Yonex VCORE 95 -2021 ''. Regarding the string (Head Lynx Tour Champagne) that you use on the "Yonex VCORE 95-2021", you did not specify exactly the model and the gauge of this string.
    If not, do you know a very fast and efficient way to lower the tension of my string the '' Yonex Poly Tour Rev 1.25mm / 16g (color Bite), string tension: 53 Lbs / 24.0404 kg ' '. Lower it from 53 Lbs to 51 Lbs.
    I think next month I will buy the '' Yonex VCORE PRO 97 HD '' hoping that this racquet will not be as hard on my elbow as the '' Yonex 'VCORE 95 -2021' ‘.
    Otherwise I still hesitate to make my choice for my next racket '' ARM FRIENDLY '' between the '' Yonex VCORE PRO 97 HD '' and the '' ProKennex Ki Q + Tour Pro (325g), Head size 98, patter string 18x20 , SW: 327 ''.
    Thanks in advance for your advice.
    I wish you the best for you, very long and big success and lot of success in your professional tennis career, and for your wonderful youtube channel "My Tennis HQ".
    Best regards.
    ***Sorry fo my long message.

    I absolutely love the Vcore 95. The only thing I want to change is the stock grip. I’d like a leather one. Something about the squishiness that messes up my volleys. This “problem” obviously pales in comparison to the racket as a whole though.

  • @a2casius
    @a2casius 3 роки тому +2

    Hey Karue, Fab review and much appreciated. Your comment on the Vcore's slight "flimsiness" at the net makes perfect sense given your comparison with the Ezone which is more stable. That "Stability" of the Ezone comes purely from the Ezone's stiffer hoop and higher twist weight (13.58 vs 14.72) which is why you found the Vcore more comfortable having a softer hoop (something I mentioned in a comment in your previous video) and Ezone more uncomfortable with a stiffer hoop. So here's my challenge : Either increase the stability of the Vcore by adding lead @3,9 (as you mention) OR (here's the challenge) think again about the Ezone and string crosses significantly lower or use a soft multi in crosses ..... Personally, I think if you make my mentioned mods to your Ezone Tour, you may find it overall a more solid racquet. The only issue is the mods needed for the Ezone are a bit more tricky than mere adding lead to the Vcore. Are you up to the challenge? :)))

    @MyTennisHQ, Karue, thanks to you and IronWillTennis, I’ve switched to the racket from the VCore Pro 97 310g 2021. I’ve added a leather grip, Sampras power strips at 10&2. It feels amazing and I echo everything you say in the video. My serve percentage has increased, better consistency on ground strokes, great plow. So racket journey concluded, string journey beginning. I know you’re now playing with the 2023 model, but what string/gauge/tension did you settle on when you played with this racket?

    Hi Karue, Thanks for the awesome review, this is the best review of a racket i've watched on UA-cam! i used your link to buy me a pair :) but just a question,
    i played with the previous VCORE 98 and loved it but the launch angle was pretty high and it lacked control for me, bear in mind i have added a leather Grip and some lead in the hoop bringing it 340Grams, will this version address these issues without sacrificing too much power? I plan on using the same treatment on the 95s, i've been playing Tennis for 27 years, i'm 31 Years old, and i mainly play on Clay Courts, Thanks Man!

    Great video, quickly becoming one of my favorite tennis racquet review channels. I'm a flat hitting, usta 4.0 baseliner currently using the head graphene touch prestige mp ( 95 sq inch frame). I've been contemplating a vcore 98 ,a slightly bigger frame to make life more forgiving for myself. I'm wondering why you chose a 95 because it seems to be a rare head size people like me (usta 4.0) tend to be choosing these days. Are there disadvantages for a player of my skillset using a 95?

    The fact that it does not feel as stable at the net is because the twist weight is in the lower range (13.5 according to TW). On the other hand, this gives you a better maneuverability.

    Fantastic video yet again! Happy New year to you mate🥳
    Currently own the latest prestige MP. Since you had used the prestige MP in your past videos, how would you compare both in terms of:
    1) Sweetspot size( I know it won’t matter much if you are a good player, so maybe in situations when you are on the defence, how would compare the forgiveness of the two head sizes?)
    2) Levels of spin and power since both are tight string pattern and lower powered rackets
    3) The feel of the rackets. ( ofcourse feel is the most subjective but would love to hear an opinion from a pro player😝)
    Thanks in advance if you do comment back🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

      VCORE 95 is a much more friendly racket. Bigger sweet spot, easier on the arm, more power and spin. The prestige has a distinct feel and players who love it can’t really play with anything else. But the VCORE 95 is a much easier racket to play with

  • @cd8145
    @cd8145 3 роки тому

    Hey guys, could you make a video about how to return heavy topspin balls with a lot of arc. When the shot is fast and flat, it’s easy to read and deflect pace with a quick block or slice. When it has heavy spin I find myself having a hard time dealing with them, my body gets all akward when I see the ball coming super fast. I’m not sure whether I should hit out with my own spin to bring the ball down (which could lead to errors) or loop it back with little pace (but then better players can punish that easily).
    That said, the limitation of my equipment might also be at play, I’m using the Pro Staff 97L so I feel not enough plow sometimes, which leads me to hesitate to hit out. Thinking of switching to the Speed MP (especially because the new black PJ is coming soon), do you think it’s a good choice? I worry that the string spacing will be too open.
