Thanks! That helps!
Somehow feels normal right away
For me it’s the EZone. Just has the right blend of spin, control, slice and power when I need it.
I must say this is a bit crazy. I'm looking to get a new racket and just demoed each of these this week and watched and rewatched all of your yonex reviews. And then today you answer the exact question I wanted to know. You are The Best.
Oddwood
I must ask. What question did Harry anwser for you?
I must say I still don’t understand the big differences between ezone and vcore. Ok vcore offers a bit more spin but what else
@@bruno_mart
Ezone built for more power and the vcore is built for more control in respect to their construction.
What was your conclusion on these racquets you demoed? Which one did you choose and are you happy with it?
@@bowsershark I think the VCore would be the Pure Aero in Babolat and the E Zone the Pure drive? Am I right?
Didn't realise I needed an ezone 98.. until I demo'd it. What a racquet.
The ezone line is supposed to be the power under control line, the vcore line is supposed to be the spin and power line and the vcore to pro is supposed to be the players control stick.
Ezone is competitor to the pure drive, boom, fx line, ultra
Vcore is competitor to the pure Aero, extreme, sx line, burn
Vcore pro is competitor to the pure strike, prestige, cx line, pro staff, blade
Ahhh no the pure strike has way to much power and is a very very stiff frame thats a competitor for the Ezone
@@CH-yp5by i understand what you mean, but all the Babolat rackets are stiff and mostly meant for power. The pure strike is its the most controlled line of Babolat with a much denser string pattern than the ezone, that's why i put it in the vcore pro, blade cat. But i agree that that is a bit of a stretch.
Great video.Can you do one of these for the 100s vcore, ezone and vcore pro. I'm looking to switch from Pure Drive 100 and looking at best option/alternative due to arm pain. Thanks 👍🏻
Thanks I have 2020 version of Ezone I agree with you not as powerful as my Head Speeds other reviewers have said Ezone has amazing power I disagree and agree with your analysis. I need some help with power but having said that I am playing better than I did with the Ezone as my technique has been improving but as I am nearly 63 yrs I am not sure how much longer I can go on improving. I have played tennis on and off all since I was around 10 years of age. Yoga helps as well. Really clear analysis for 5.30am in the morning !!!! Appreciated.
Very helpful explanation ... I'm about to have one of it and really need to know more and that it is !!!! Crystal clear ..... thank you.
I think the spacing of the strings play a big role too. Also the head shapes are a bit different among them.
Helloz nice video!
How do you compare the Vcore 95 to these 3 rackets?
Hi dear Tennis Spin Team!
... first of all: big props for your channel, I'm a big fan since day 1, great content and even better and cool people, keep going ;)
1 question: I've been trying to get my hands on the white ezone 98 2020 Osaka special edition 305g L3 grip
I live in Europe, Slovenia and Tennis Warehouse Europe doesn't sell these, and I see you have a full rack of them and it pains me every time I watch your videos haha
Do you have any suggestions where I could get one, or, by any chance, could I buy one from you?
Thank you for your answer sir, you are awesome !
Thanks Harry, been waiting in this one. Spot on these being arm friendly. I play with an older Ezone 100 and get a bit of arm pain. Demoed a VCore 98, little less pop more control but no sore arm!
Ive heard it has buttery smooth control
Why is there no coffee in your coffee cup?,I like your content Harry,and thank you for helping us thru lockdown and keeping our tennis passion alive.
This is the perfect comparison of all the Yonex's that i was looking at. thanks for doing this video
Great video!! I have the VCore Pro 97L with Yonex Poly Tour Pro 120 strings set at 55lbs. The power off this racquet is unbelievable, control with it is something special. Looking forward to testing the new VCore 98 in January 2023.
Yeah, I have the VCore Pro 97 290 grams as well, unbelievable control and power
thanks Harry, this is what I was recently looking for. A Yonex comparison
Hello TENNIS SPIN ! are you going to make a review of the new Tecnifibre TF40 315 (16X19) 2022 ? many people can not believe the low swingweight ...
Thank you for this video. i have the VCore 98. I was wondering if I should even play test the EZone 98. This break down tells me that I am good with what I have. No need to spend the money.
Great video. I have the vcore after trying the ezone and he’s pretty spot on about the characteristic of them. When the vcore breaks I’ll definitely get into the ezone. Thanks for the video.
Did you try the 2022 ezone?
Hi. Thank you for another great review. A quick question. Which of the two, the Vcore Pro 97L and Ezone 98L is most arm-friendly when suffering from a tennis elbow? I am an intermediate player.
Vcore pro I think. I strung my pro 97 hd at 52 and it's much softer than my friends ezone98 at 47. We both agreed and we both have some arm issues. Ezone also has a bigger launch angle, which I don't like. (I'm not sure if that is because of the 18x20 string pattern or just a general difference) Vcore pro does require you to swing harder/better technique, because it has less power. I think dropping my tension considerably to 48/46 will help with that.
any chance you could do a comparison between the vcore pro 97 and the vcore 95?
Which of the three (or a different one) would you recommend for a beginner?
Would be good to do a video on Dunlop CX vs SX vs FX. Dunlop CX200 ranges are decent
Thank you, very interesting video.
I am a Big fan of Yonex.
Could you make the same comparison with the ezone 100, vcore pro 100 and vcore 100 ? 🤗
Thanks for all your work 👍✌️
Ezone 98 is the best racket in the world so far!
Thanks for the great review.
I'm an intermediate player. I have an Ezone 100 (5 years old), Pure Drive and Pure Aero. I keep switching and can't settle. Yesterday I played with an Vcore Pro 100 and everything improved. It felt so much better than the other 3. I have no idea why and I am more confused than ever. 🤔
Friend, what do you recommend to transform this racket into a lethal weapon? I find that it is a controllable racket but at the same time I find that accelerating the racket is not so easy (passing the air). Is it a good option to add some weight to the grip and make it more maneuverable? Or is it better to add weight at 10-2 or 12? I would appreciate your help
I have the old ezone 98 and honestly, ezone doesn't feel like a power racquet. its honestly somewhat of a control racquet with just added power. This is why its my fav yonex racquet (atleast the old one)
I agree. I have got the newest Vcore 98 and Ezone 98. Vcore 98 is more powerful than Ezone 98.
@@mensudomerovic3773 i agree vcore98 is a spin/power-oriented control racquet, while ezone98 is flat/power-oriented control racquet. the one you pick basically depends on how you play.
@@snipa2116 Ezone98 is more powerful or control than VcorePro100 ?
Ezone98 is powerful compare to others raquets inch 98.
VcorePro100 is control compare to others raquets inch 100.
But if I whant change mi old version VcorePro100 with Ezone98, I will win/loose in power or control ?
What’s the name of the company (companies) that will change the paint jobs of racquets?
Can you do one for the Ezone 100 vs VCore 100 vs VCP 100 too please?
Very helpful. Ive been using RQiS 1 Tour 95 (320g 16/18) rackets for a long time and finally had a frame crack on me during match play, right across the throat beam. All the added lead caught up to me! Frames are more than a decade old now too. I was looking for what racket would be most similar, and it looks like the Vcore 97 Pro would be a good place to start.
The RQIS1 Tour is THE best feeling Yonex I've ever played/owned. Bar none.
@@neertw I honestly wish I could find a few more RQiS 1 Tours rackets. I’ve never found a superior racket for my game. I love it’s blend of flex (58), the 95 in head, and the stock heft of the frame.
I have used kblade tours for forever and now am switching to the yonex vcore 97h. been demoing it and loving it. Chose it based on similar specs aside from a larger 97sqin head, which I need due to not being quite as good as I was back in the day.
Great post! I have been wondering about these three rackets. I am using the Head Speed Pro (smooth and solid hitting racquet)from Pure Strike 3rd gen (easier for angles and spin) and looking for something in-between, which would you suggest Ezone 98 or Vcore 98? I demoed the new Vcore Pro 100 and it felt solid and awesome, however, it was lacking power on serve.
The 97D 320 might be what you're looking for. It has a 18x20 pattern and I have this and the Speed Pro (2018 version) and they're very similar but the launch angle for the Yonex is flatter with more pace. Same thing for serves.
great. now for the 100 please
Thanks for the review. VCore 95 FTW :)
I recently play tested the new blades and also the Vcore pro 97 and I think the new Vcore Pro is better than the blades in feel and control and power.
vcore pro 97 is a lot more like the old wilson kblade tour. the new wilson blades have gone lighter and lager i think
I have been playing w VCore 100 and just purchased a 98, and I can't put it down its so good. I am a 3.5 player going to 4 soon. VCore 98, a bit more control and less power but the more you use it you can adapt and develop your own power. I don't spray shots anymore as I did w the 100. and very arm friendly too.
you found v core 100 arm friendly ? gracias.
I’ve liked them all, settled on the Vcore 98 Plus because it gets you to a higher swingweight with a lighter racket. I’m waiting to demo the new Ezone 98 Plus, though the last version felt a little more difficult to control the racket face.
Currently own the vcore 98 and have been playtesting the vcore pro 97 (310) extensively and here is what O have found:
Vcore pro:
- amazing feel
- ball pocketing is outstanding
- solid power with full swings on ground strokes
Serving with the heavier weighted handle takes some getting used to compared to the vcore 98
- super plush and comfortable (no dampener needed)
- much sturdier at net compared to the vcore 98
- a bit tough to get around the ball on extensions
With that said, I am about to make the official switch to the vcore pro 97…too many positives outweigh the slightly heavier downsides when compared to the vcore 98. Great review Harry
Jason G
Have you tried the Vcore 95?
@@bowsershark i hade the exact same question. I own vcore 95 and 98 2021. for the moment i really prefer the 95 but wonder a bit about the 97 pro and her 60/61 RA
@@flodar1548 Yep I have 95 and am in the process of testing the Ezone 2022 and Vcore Pro
@jason g
I did the exact same transition.
From vcore 98 to Vcore Pro 97, because all the positives you were talking about. Also much more Arm friendly, and the spin with the pro is great!!
me too. have you tried the 97?
I tried these three racquets when friends had them to demo at our local park. Although, I liked them and they were fun. I would not give up my RF Prostaff 11.1 or RF97V13 for any of these three. I'd like to try the vcore 95.
Harry, aside from the smaller head size, what is the difference between the VCore 95 and my Yonnex 93 sq inch RD Impact Speed 100? Do they have similar frame technology in the head and yoke?
why is prostaff better in your opinion?
@@flodar1548
Aloha! I did not actually say the RF sticks were better but they did better fit my play style.
. Comparatively speaking, the RF97V13 is in a different class by itself due to the heavier weight, much more head lightness, bigger swing wt and stiffer frame. Thus, there is access to more stability, more power, more plow through, controlled launch angle, serve kick ability and top spin due to the 16x19 string pattern.
. The Ezone frame felt to big, to unyielding and lacked enough control for me. I didn't like the thicker frame and it's benefits.
. The Vcore 98 was a spin monster with shaped string and had a crazy high launch angle. It was fun! Yet, it had less control, lighter plow through and a bit less stable for high power hitting engagements.
. The 97 Vcore's tighter 16x20 string pattern did not suit me. But, I did like the way it swings.
So, the demo of the three was actually beneficial because it reinforced what I liked in my racquet. But, although I did not fall in love with another racquet. I found a strong like for shaped string which I have not used in my RF97V13 to date. Now, i have the string and cannot wait to use it as a hybrid(Luxilon rough ALU Power, Luxilon Element Rough with Luxilon VIBE). I might have to use a more aggressive shaped string. But, Finding a new wrinkle to exploit is the best part of the demo experiences.😊.
V core 98+ how is this different than 98? And do you have a video on V core 98 vs V core 97
I believe the older vCore Pro version(s) had a 64 stiffness and thin beam.
What racquet hits the heaviest ball?
and, what difference of vcore 98 plus vs ezone 98 plus?
Harry, is Vcore Pro the most arm friendly of the 3? Thank you
Yes it is
I really want to see a comparison video about Vcore 100 vs. Vcore pro 100.
How do these compare to the RDS 001?
If you’re considering any of these I would demo the Vcore 95. With the isometric head shape it plays bigger than a 95 and it has great maneuverability without sacrificing spin
But, it has a thicker beam
Great Job!
Why did you say you are not good enough anymore to play with the Vcore Pro? What about it makes it harder than the other two to use effectively?
I was wondering when is the best time to order a case of balls for spring usta league. I know tennis balls can go bad. It has been so hard to get balls.
Try Wilson Triniti. Lasts forever.
Please do the same vid for the yonex 100s! 🙏
Hey Harry, how can I choose between EZONE 98 and EZONE 100?
Tough choice, 98 much more manouverable, but 100 will help with those tough shots. How do you feel about your own consistency? Play with the 100 for a year and then move to 98.
This has been on my mind for the last 2 days! How did you know?!?!
Help
I bought a yonex 98 they put vokl 17 black cyclone string Racquet feels
Horrible can’t get power on serve
Volleys are not as crisp
Seems I have a bad string ?
For me its the Vcore (i have the 2020 and the 2021, in the 100sq version). I tried the Ezone 100 but i prefer the Vcore. The Pro is amazing but a little too low powered for my senior game.
Its the v core 100 arm friendly ?
@@pablogastonroig1621 in my experience, yes, very much. Im very sensitive to stiff frames , my arm hurst almost immediately and with the vcore100 I never felt any pain or sensation of heat in my arm. They are very comfortable as long as you stick to softer polys or multis strings around 23/24 kgs or less.
@@VPB1970 muchas gracias !
Gosh I have been asking the "Ezone 98 or Vcore 98" question for the past few weeks. Then this video comes out...
What is the grammar for several yonex frames
VCORE PRO is least power of the 3. both the EZONE and VCORE are similar in power levels. the ezone strings are a denser pattern and will give you a flatter launch angle. conversely vcore is more open and gives you higher launch, more spin but can feel launchy compared to denser pattern.
Agree with most of the comments here, this one is a fantastic video. Answered a lot of my questions. As someone who has the Ezone DR98 I'm quite curious about the Vcore 98.
I have that doubt too! I have the DR 98 and i don't know if I change or not for the Vcore 98 or Vcore Pro 97D.
@@RicardojdVeiga It's easier to hit with more power with the VCORE 98 than the VCORE Pro line (the normal, H, or D, etc.) But the VCORE pro is supposed to have great feel and control, like really good control. The racket is more demanding of you to have a full and faster swing though as well. I am not sure which one is best for me either but you can demo them at a tennis center (if you have one near you) or through tennis warehouse for less than $25 I think...
Vcore pro 97h works for me well. Played the ezone 100 and the former vcore 100.
You should have also compared string spacing in the middle. The Ezone has a tighter pattern in the middle, allowing more control on flatter shots and better bite on slice than the Vcore
If a tighter pattern resulted in both a better control and better bite, there wouldn’t be any reason for a more open pattern. A more open pattern allows the ball to sink in deeper and increases the contact time. Thus, given the same movement, a more open pattern benefits spin, no matter whether it is backspin (slice) or topspin.
So really, the difference is so minimal that only a advanced player looking to fine tune their game will really benefit on the differences. Other than that, you can’t go wrong on any of them
Would you change a Yonex Ezone DR 98 for some Ezone 98, Vcore 98, VcorePro 97?
I wouldn't ever get rid of a DR98 if you like it.
I owned the previous 2020 Ezone 98 and thought it was a bit of a plank - sold; 2022 Ezone supposed to be improved though so perhaps worth a demo.
I like the Vcore 98 a lot but it's very, very different to my DR98; Vcore is firmer, faster through the air, more powerful and provides more spin; overall more 'attacking' perhaps.
Haven't hit any 97inch Vcore Pros (only the previous generation 100, which was lovely and had some of that soft-solid feel of the DR98 I love with a touch more easy power and spin).
hth... demo demo demo!
@@rich.e That's my question! I'm thinking of the Vcore Pro 97D but I have doubts, I like the Vcore 98 but is it worth changing the DR98?
@@RicardojdVeiga only you can know for sure, brother!
the Vcore 98 and DR98 and very different beasts.
I come from Pure Aero VS, and I wanted little less power and more control. I demoed all three: Vcore Pro felt really nice and controlled, but serves were a bit off; Ezone felt weird for whatever reason; VCore was what I was looking for. The head shape bothered me a bit, so I tried the 95 version, and I immediately bought it!
Hi. Is there any chance that you can share a small comparison between de VC98 and the VC95. I´m a 98 user and thinking on making the switch to the 95 (for more controlled attacks on my 1HBH), but I´m kind of affraid of the head size and power level. Greetings friend.
@@brucezidane Hi. I demoed VC98 only once, so I cannot give a strong opinion. It played similar to PA VS 98 (my previous racquet), but felt a bit weird, I reckon because of the isometric shape? VC95, having a smaller head (and quite round), felt perfect. The head is smaller, so it is quite whippy, serves, volleys, touch shots are great. Compared with the 98, it feels less powered, and more controlled and maneuverable. I did not feel any discomfort because of the smaller head size. I use 2HBH, so I can't tell you how it feels for 1HBH, but many reviews say it is great. Finally, the head feels a bit too light, so I added 4 grams at 6 and 9 for more stability. To summarize the answer to your questions: head size no problem, it is less powered and more controlled and whippy, I don't know about 1HBH. And the most important advice: demo before buying!
@@lilies9251 Thank you very much, this was really helpfull.
Hi there! Would you say that pure aero vs has still too much free power?? How would you compare it to vcore98 in
terms of; control/feel/free power/spin/arm comfort? You'll help me a lot since im making my mind on which way to go...vcore98 or pure areo vs. Coming from an old aero pro drive.. thanks in advance!
@@jeanpierregenit3255 I play with VCore 95 nowadays, so I cannot tell you too much about the 98 version. But if you want me to compare PA VS with VCore 95, yes, VS is more powerful, beefier, deals better with heavy balls; VCore 95 is more manuevrable, feels lighter (despite being the same weight) and definitely more controlled. VCore is a bit more arm friendly. PA VS gives you a bit more spin in my opinion. If a rally with a big hitter, I use PA VS; if I play a match, I use VCore 95, I don't need all that power, and for sure I miss less
2:52 They look like pure drive, pure aero and pure strike.
Maybe but the feel is much different.
Ynoex is getting better and better. I think it will be the top 1 brand.
Head has a wider range with high quality if you ask me. But yes, Yonex is getting better and better.
Demoed the entire Yonex line recently before deciding on the new blade. Wanted to like them but they have ZERO FEEL, especially the vcore 98
Do you spec it up with lead?
97 Pro is pretty good, at least compared with the Blade 98 8 gen that seemed like a muted baseliner's racket.
Which racket has more control,
the ezone 98 or the vcore 98?
Vcore felt more precise to me, but I like the free power of the ezone.
VCore all day
Did I hear a cat right around 5:30 minutes in?
I thought the EZONE has better power than the VCORE? I am a little confused...
Demoed both. Vcore is plusher, feels good in the hand and Ezone is harsh.
Vcore 98 is more crisp, but ezone 98 gives you free power. All great racquets. I am 3.5
I have got Vcore 98 and Ezone 98. Vcore 98 suits better for me.
What was the deciding factor, I'm currently demoing the VC98 and was thinking I might try the EZ98 before I settle on the VC98.
U might need to keep that coffee mug full. When u keep it back down one can hear that those coffee cups are empty 😉
Just did'n explained one main point, that the denser spacing in the Ezone means more control for flat hitters and less spin and launch angle compared to vcore98.
And please learn the name of the racquets you are selling.
It's Vcore Pro 97. It's confusing when you call it Vcore 97 Pro, because the Family is Vcore Pro, Vcore and Ezone, and Pro is not one kind of Vcore.
97, 97H, 97D... are in the Vcore Pro line, and not 97 Pro in the Vcore line.
I am more confused...
Ezone 98 still the best
My general understanding is that yonex marketed these racquets like this…
Pro: feel/control
Vcore: spin
Ezone: power
Babolat does the same with pure strike, aero, and drive. Wilson also with blade/prostaff, burn, and ultra. Don’t know about Head because they are confusing.
they do not matchup at all. I have played with all yonex and babolat racquets. Yonex doesn't really make power racquets, they are all control racquets with diff variations. Vcore pro is feel, vcore is spin and ezone is flat. the ezone gets mistaken for a power racquet but its honestly not in the 98 version.... 100 version maybe u can call it somewhat of a power racquet.
Gravity = Feel / Control Extreme = Spin/power Prestige = Precision Speed = A mix of Spin, Power and Control (all around racquets)... this is my undestanding from playing with them... not sure where the radical line fits as i never played 1
Doesn't he know that "putting his spin on your tennis" is actually a BAD thing? Not sure about anyone else, but I would want the truth about something, not somebody else's "spin" on something. See enough of that approach in Washington politics.
He does live in Washington.....
If spin= perspective that's useful.
Never a Yonex fan
You're missing out.
