It is meant for spin and you were hitting flat... and if the ball didn't kick on your serve then you have to check your serve mechanics and don't blame the racquet.
He's a pusher in matches, so he will need spin if he tries it in matches !
Agree, the sound coming out of his racket is flat, no string movement, Vcore is intended for spinners/heavy spinners, vcore pro is more suited to your flatter shots, I’ve tried almost all Yonex rackets tho still have to get my hands on the 2023 version of the Vcore, and honestly none of them felt cheap in any way, plus the paint held nicely unlike most rackets.
The guy also mains an aeropro so that argument doesn't really work.
Disagree.. I’m a flat eastern grip player and the VCore 98 was far and away better than the Ezone 98 I played prior because everyone says the Ezone is for flat hitters lol. If you hit flat using a round string is the key. Shaped strings are a crutch
@@tjsheftick3732finally somebody who told the truth. But for the others , this doesn't give access to free power like how ezone did . This racket sucks at stock for and would recommend lead taping 3 and 9 and 6 o'clock to make the sweet spot little on the center . It is horrible at counter punching
How to config
Tension : 45-48 lbs
Strings : usually firmer stringers will do good
Being highly and sweet spot at the top , it is important to add lead weight at 3 and 9 and put a leather grip for added weight for more SW. Because the racquet absolutely gives no power
"kick serves didn't move" is like me blaming a football because i can't throw it as far as tom brady does....
I find comments like “volleys landed shorter than expected” a bit strange. Surely you just adjust your shots to hit the volley deeper? Just the same as you would during a match if you keep hitting the net, you adjust your game to start hitting higher.
There is no such thing as an unpredictable racquet. The racquet doesn't change from one shot to the next, only the way it is swung does. So sorry but I don't buy that some shots were great while others flew to Narnia when the speed and swing were the same. To me, that comment means that the racquet is great if you swing it right as you experienced sometimes. I have actually demoed this racquet and found it great. I think claiming that a racquet is made from cheap materials just because you don't like how it feels is disingenuous at best.
Diego thanks for disagreeing. While it didnt fly to Narnia it definitely did land in Hogwarts' Womping Willow.
It has a high trajectory and definitely more power and spin which it seems to sacrifice control for. That is my experience. Id like to try the 95, but i had to quit the 98 cause everything was sailing long, and lack feel.
Completely agree... Calling a racket unpredictable like it is a person with mood swings is just baffling... Why can't mark say that he can't hit a forehand to save his live two times in a row?? His swings are unpredictable not the racket
Disagree with Diego.and fuck narnia
'Narnia' 'Hogwarts' 'Grinder' ....😂 😂 I'm just here for the 'who talks like this?' talk.
Mark, great review. No BS. As I said before the gem in Yonex Line is Vcore Pro97 310g. 2-4g added on the 2 & 10. Strung at 50 with Poly Tour or Element 17g.
I hate it when any video title is “very honest” or “brutally honest” opinion on something. You’re basically saying everyone else who reviewed something either lied or wasn’t honest. Just say, here’s my take.
well many others are PAID or sponsored by Yonex to give good reviews.
I demoed my friends racket for a session and immediately had a perfect fit for my forehand style. I then tried out served and felt great and bought a racket. During that time though I started feeling a little arm pain and wrist pain similar to Mark. (Coming from blade v8 18x20 and the shift 18x20). I think I was in love with the feel on my forehand wing that I ignored the signs. After playing with the new racket strung at 53 pounds with yonex poly tour pro 17, the arm and wrist pain persisted. I was still in denial. After 3 weeks I broke the string and went back to hitting with my Wilson shift. Pain never came back. I am going on vacation to Japan soon too and was planning to pick up a few. Sad to say I will have to sell my vcore 98.
I love this racquet, especially the new vcore 100 & oddly enough, I'm digging the vc95! I play the vcore pro 100 & love it, but I'm digging this new vcore 100, 95 & 98. Personally digging the 100 & 95 the most, but like all three. The 100L is great for kids. I got a demo of it and the kids love it. Not out until March or so
what string and tension did you use?
I've got the new vcore 98 since about two weeks and religiously using it since to get used to it. My go to racquet is ezone 98,
Both sticks are strung with the solinco tour bite to the same string tension. I will agree with you on many of the points. In my experience so far…..racquet is a spin monster for the slice serve, flat serves are rockets and very accurate. Forehand to start with I definitely needed to dial down on the power, high trajectory of the ball, many of the balls which were looking like they were going long were dipping inside the court. More muted feeling than ezone. Backhand…..i play one handed backhand …. so far it doesn’t feel as and reliable as the ezone. The frame....and i found this quite interesting..... is really fast, it cuts through the air like a razor and this resulting for me from time to time to miss timing the backhand or overhead smash, it’s weird but it felt like swinging too fast' adding the lead tape made it much better for me. Friend of mine who is quite advanced player have tested ezone and vcore during the last session, in his opinion ezone had better feel and control, however vcore power accuracy and spin for serves was amazing. Other friends who tried it out were finding dificult to control it to begine with. I think if you stick to it and dedicate time to work it out how to get the most of it for your type of game, it can be something realy special… in my humble opinion this is not the easiest racquets to take off the peg and start hitting amazing shots as they are promising in the advertising.
Perhaps someone could recomend string and tension they found working well with it.
I will agree with everything you said I tried this out 2 months ago when it showed up and took it out fo a spin. I hadnt played in a while and only had an expensive indoor hour to get this racquet to behave . I couldnt do it timing wasnt there for various reasons not the racquets fault but it did move the air much quicker than i expected the launch trajectory and power was so different than anything i was used to in the last year and I gave up on trying to tame it i had grab a racquet that morning to maximize the only expensive tennis court time i had:0 I want to try it again because i feel like if i change my technique a bit I might find some serious weaponzation with it.
I play with a 100 vcore pro and so many people were looking at the new vcore and giving it such a great review. It’s neat to find someone that wasn’t the biggest fan of it!
Also I’ve been waiting for the geau double in that blue colour!!! I want it so bad! It’s a bit harder to get in Canada!
I currently use the 2018 Vcore 98. Have you use the 2021 (6th gen) version before? How does that compare to this version? I was thinking of buying the 2021s.
If there was such thing as a “shock reviewer” you would be at the top of the game. It is definitely entertaining I must say. Keep chasing them subscribers!
Yep, im totally just doing shock reviews and not giving my honest opinions on tennis products.
/s
Glad other people are noticing, I've said this previously on a number of his "reviews". I would agree that his "honest reviews" were "honest" if anyone ever shared the same views as him which they rarely do if at all. For example, I'd be very surprised if you find one other person who would agree that the racquet feels like "its made out of very cheap materials" lmfao
At the end of the day, you gotta do what you gotta do to get views I guess.
The crap thing is, that us talking about it here is exactly what he wants. I have no doubt he is being somewhat “honest” but the way it is delivered it 100% to troll for views and comments. Nothing wrong with that it’s just pretty hypocritical.
@@toemouse He’s being honest. I just don’t think he even knows what he wants out of a racket lol. It seems like every time he plays matches, it’s with a different racket. I’m a fan btw it’s just funny to me
what you really mean is all his reviews doesn't align with your thoughts of a racquet?
Interesting review. I spent quite a lot of time trying to like the last gen VCore 98, and my review of that racquet would line up with this: good for flatter shots generally, but no connection to the ball, hollow feeling, and surprisingly stiff and uncomfortable (despite its reputation for being arm friendly) because of a stiff hoop. I would also add that I found the prior VCore 98 to be terrible for spin --- nowhere in the realm of spin provided by the Extreme Tour or Aero. How is the new one on spin production?
Love your honest reviews Mark and this one didn’t disappoint! The last VC98 I tried was the 2018 version and it also had that flimsy cheap feel you described on this new model. However, the positives you mentioned about it excelling on flat shots and serves really is a plus for me, as I rely on my first serves and put away forehands. Might demo this one!
Let me know what u think!
What could be causing the wrist discomfort?
How is the power compared to the Ezone 98 7th gen
I also do own a ezone 98 and is my go to racket.. Just had my first hit with the new vcore yesterday with Volkl Cyclone 24 kg. Much more spin on my groudstrokes i like that, i do get more control because of the spin effect, amazings serves! like WOOOOH o.O the feel i pref ezone 98 but its not that bad on the new vcore, comfort is better on the vcore its more muted so if you like muted feel go with the vcore. first impressions of the vcore vs ezone :)
My playstyle is aggresive baseliner with a big serv :)
Any wrist/arm issues with the ezone?
@@MrFunkyko Nope, had some shoulder irritations the first 2 times when i hit serves, but no problems since.
and i have been played with them for like 2 months now
LoL. Kick serve inconsistent is because your serve motion and ball toss , not the racket.
eh, maybe. Doubt it though.
Was excited to try the new 95. I've played with the 2021 version for nearly two years, love it. Thought this would be even better... and I was wrong. The lower RA on the new version was noticeable and I just couldn't find my groove on forehands or volleys. Ultimately it made me realize that the '21 version works for me and not all new versions are necessarily upgrades for your particular playing style. I will be buying some, now discounted, new old stock of the '21 vcore 95 and playing with it for a few more years.
fk. good to know thank you. I will probably buy more copies of the last gen vcore 95
Other reviews were saying really really good things about this new version, saying the 21 version sucks compared to this. Hate sponsored reviews!
Unbiased review of someone who tried both the 21 & 23 and doesn’t play with either now…tried the 21 and absolutely hated it but the 23 was amazing with the same exact string setup, almost ended up choosing it over the 98 to buy but was worried about the demand of the 95 sq inch head on an off day. Incredible spin for the 95 sq inch 16 x 20
The last version with red and blue? I have 2 new/lightly used Condition ones. 4 1/4
Selling
@@roveism I don't trust any review. Not even because I think the person may have something to gain from the review. I simply just think there is no substitution for actually trying out a frame yourself. I personally can fluctuate level a lot in a hitting session, sometimes I worry that negative/positive reviews could have just been a bad/good day on court for whatever reason. The reviews usually just lead me into analysis paralysis. Best bet is to try a frame yourself over a few sessions to smooth out your impression of it and reduce the chances that you just hit with it on a bad or good day.
Would love to see your opinion on head speed pro. Personally I love it and stuck with it since I made the change from Wilson blade v6 no cv 16x19. Was a smooth transition and I never looked back.
Ill try and review it.
@@MarkSansait thanks, I tried the one without auxetic and then the one with auxetic. The newest one with auxetic felt so much better and had better stability in my opinion.
You have to hit with extreme spin with this racket for it to work. Still don’t know if I prefer it over the better feel of the 95. I get more spin and power from the 98 and that’s better for my topspin but better flex and feel and control fri the 95.
Might want to start testing junior racquets soon. Condoms and sharp objects are a bad mix when stored in a drawer. But storing them together in that lottery ball hopper you call a tennis bag is definitely a good way to get an out-of-the-blue, life-changing call/text.
Have your tried the 100 Vcore or the Ezone as a comparison?
Since you also reviewd the 2021 version of the Vcore98, how would you compare them? And what is your best pick of racket for your playstyle right now (I think you play with the Bab. Pure Aero vs?) ?
Both versions of VCore 98 are disappointing. Right now I do have a racket. But its a secret :).
@@MarkSansait OOOEEHHHHH when is this holy secret to be revealed? ;)
From other reviews I feel the feedback is: The 95 and 100 is great rackets in their own department, the 95 is possibly the most forgiving 95 on the market giving loads of control, and the 100 is a solid improvement from the old version giving solid power and spin. But the 98 is a bad attempt at being the best of both worlds/mix of the 95 and 100. Any chance you will demo the 95 and/or the 100 version of this?
Ill do the 95 soon
Same feelings, both with the 98 and the 100: I miss so much the old Yonex raquets, soft, precise, efficient and with a great feel.
Is the Ezone 98 2022 better than this model ? 98's in general are more suited for 1HB correct?
I would recommend vcore since it feels better to 1HB and head-light and small-head racquets are more suitable for 1HB...you need high swing speed!
On paper the specs are really similar to the Ezone 98, but it does feel slightly different on a variety of shots. I own an Ezone 98 and have recently tried this new Vcore 98 and I really didn't feel too much difference to my Ezone 98.
My EZONE 100 feels completely different.
That's interesting, i have ezone 98 and new vcore 98 strung with the same string to the same tension and in my (and few others who tested it)opinion they feel totally diferent.
@@mskcrc which is better?
I agree with Mark. It felt very muted. I loved the 5th generation of the Vcore but have been disappointed with the last Vcore and this one. Spin potential is OK and control is good. Power I felt was lacking. It was disappointing to me.
Thanks for the input!
I think the 100 and 95 greatly benefit from the lower RA in this generation, however in the 98 it seems to kill power and yet the racquet still does not have good feel
I have been demoing the previous version of this racket for the last 3 months and just started demoing the 2023 version. I really like this racket and have not had any of the issues you pointed out. I play a mostly baseline game and hit with a lot of spin and flatten out as necessary (1 handed backhand too). I think the string choice might make a huge difference here.
Thanks for disagreeing!
I have played with '21 version the pst couple of years & tinked w Ezone 98. This '23 VC98 seems to sit in between those two. I am tinkering with strings. Usually play a hybrid with gut + round poly like lux pwr. My local pro said to try all poly as it may suit this racket better. What is your string choice? Any experience w TB soft or PTP full bed on a Vcore?
Well i dont know about the 27" adult racket but i picked up a 26" Junior racket cheap for my son, an its marketted as full graphite with the all the tech of the adukt racket and boy was i disappointed. Firstly the specs were off, almost 10grams off!! Then as mentioned in this review the paint and finish felt cheap, previous gen was higher quality. Balance was quite headlight as well which all mesnt instability for such a light jumior racket. Junior rackets are usually more head heavy, but this latest Vcore felt too thin around the hoop. I know Yonex made the hoop thinner on purpose but maybe they took too much material off. For the price Yonex charges for these rackets, even Junior rackets, seriously i wouldn't consider it.
Racquet feels really really good imo
Actually I think I played with the 100 edit
Thanks for disagreeing!
I have been hearing from some other testers that the 2023 VCore 98 is not as compelling an update as the 95 and the 100. Personally, I have been testing the new VCore 100 and I have been very impressed so far. Compared to my VCore Pro 97 310, I get easier depth, easier serves, controllable power, and stable volleys.
Some rackets also change a lot with strings and strings with rackets. You may find a racket that feels terrible with the string you like somewhere else and with another string you did not like suddenly feels good. Is quite difficult and time-consuming sometimes to find a combo you like.
Facts
I can't see that your review holds up on any level. It has lowish swing weight and a tad muted, but that's the deal. The rest of the critique is bizarre.
Yonex vcore 100 2023 works for me, I love it. Muted feeling is normal , I suggest you try not to use dampener so that you can unmute slightly. The power and spin are really good but you have to learn to control them.
What is your string and tension setup
How would this compare with an old Prince Tour 98 ESP which is 16X16 and a great racket
Never tried that racket lol
@@MarkSansait you would love it!
Some people say racquet of the year contender. Monster spin. Other people say good for flat shots. Someone must be getting it wrong. Or different techniques change the perception of the racquet.
Question to all, do you think that the vcore 98 2021 version is better than 2023?
absolutely
Just tried this racquet and I agree on the random shots flying..people commenting on that not being a thing just haven’t tried enough racquets😂…I’ve always used Speed Pros and now Extreme Tours and I’ve never experienced random shots just flying unpredictably until I tried Yonex racquets…2018 VCore 95 is sensational in my opinion though but this 2023 98 for me wasn’t as good as I hoped
In your opinion, if you had to choose one YONEX racquet to go to battle with for DOUBLES only, which would you choose? Would that change if you were 65 years old? I would be grateful for your thoughts.
for doubles VCore. Perhaps for your age the 100.
This is spot on to my experience as well. Very dissapointing racket, especially the slaze feeling was terrible with absolute no control, just flying away. Also the racket appears as being a cheap material racket, more like a cheap racket for kids! Played with ezone some years ago, and was quite happy with that model. So I wonder what kind of player that find this racket a good one, it seems there are a few in the comments!
Please review the 95 !! 😁
I just ditched all my Wilson RF 97 in favor of the Yonex Vcore 98 v7 - I string it at only 19/20 kg with Poly Tour Pro - the only one of your "cons" I experienced is that my Kick-Serve does not work anymore - on all other shots the Vcore 98 has been improving my tennis compared to the RF 97 - For me the biggest plus is the speed it moves through the air - Now I'm never those milliseconds to late for a shot and that is huge.
The new Vcore 100 plays amazing!!!
I appreciate your honest reviews, Mark. I've demo both the 98 and 100 and had good experiences with both, but *not* enough to make a switch from Head Speed Pro. I felt the same instability issues you had mentioned.
Glad im not going crazy
I like this VCore a lot because I’m getting more on the ball with it, but I agree with you when you said it feels very cheaply made. Other than that, I love this racquet.
I'm a little frustrated with how much of the audience is criticizing the comments on it being not so spin friendly.
My review says a similar thing and this racket just isn't that much of a spin monster in it's stock form.
Yeah, it's marketed that way but I've actually hit with it and made a similar point.
You should try with a firmer poly (Yonex strike or spin) and add a little weight to 2 and 10. PTP seemed to play too soft and erratic. Racquet is still muted but plays better than the outgoing version. Had no issues with it feeling flimsy or unstable once I made those minor changes.
I have played with PTP at the same tension in over 6 rackets and have never felt soft or erratic in my experience. That is why I don’t think it is the string set up.
everyone else on the internet is saying this is a great great reacket. For you its maybe unstabil because your swing is not very controlled
Could be, but I think all my strokes are controlled.
Do it with the vcore 100 please!
Any racket below 12.4 ounces feels unstable to me.
Mark - are you/have you play tested the new VCORE 97 Pro?
I'm curious about this as well
New Vcore 97 Pro in this year?

Feel like I'm watching the opening credits of an anime with that intro song.
My life is an anime.
I tested all of the Yonex, Wilson and Head requets over the past few weeks. I can't disagree more with this revue. I like the Vcore 95 better but this is an amazing racquet, better than everything else, except for flat serves didn't get as much power (so opposite of what you found) and I wish was a bit punchier on volleys but going to try the Tour version for a little more weight
Did you try the new vcore 95 or pure aero 98? If you did, what’s your impressions?
Not yet
why is everything a journey,,,nice review as always-cheers brother
its always a journey.
@@MarkSansait i know! everyone is saying it!! lol,,keep up the nice work
Hope you will review the new VCore 95 and 100..???
Same here...waiting on a demo 2023 VCore 95 to compare to my 2021s.
Try the 95
Good review. I have to toss out comments where you’re complaining about a different of inches from one shot to the next. You’re not a machine. But the point was taken. I agreed with most everything but would add as a predominantly doubles player I found the VCore 98 really unstable and unpredictable on volleys. Close to a dealbreaker. I find the EZone 98 much better at net, and much more predictable and easier to control ball trajectory. I thought the new VC would win out, but I think the EZ still gets the edge.
My ex gfs call me a machine :)
Review of the 2023 Yonex Vcore 95 please!
Im trying to get my hands on one.
@@MarkSansait Do you costumize your frames? If so it would be awesome if you could add weight to the frames you're reviewing and give us insight on the results. Keep up the good work!
What racket do you use?
He uses a Babolat Pure Aero VS.
Is there anyway to make it more stable? adding some leadtape on it or something else hope you test it tks~
Absolutely. My 2021 Vcore 95s are somewhat unstable from the factory. I put lead tape on each side of the inside of the frame just up above center...(where the true sweetspot is) and it really stabilized the frame, especially at the net. How much weight will depend upon you, but I put 4 grams per side. Cheers
The Vcore seems to be working for Tommy Paul ...
you are spot on...vcore has no plow and stability. The slice was underwelming too
the new 2023 vcore feels amazing personally... it's like the perfect combo of the last 2 versions and i am a player who likes old school player's frames.
poly tour rev 17 worked well for me with the new vcore
I thought the 95 was ok, didn't bother with the 98, I'd say I prefer the '21 95 though, the new flex is not a benefit to me and whatever the width increase at the top of the hoop does didn't translate into anything beneficial on the court.
I cant wait to try the VCore 95 2023 version.
Please do a review of the vcore 95 and pure aero 98.
I bought a vcore 95 (2023) without demoing it first. No demo of this racket where I live. Will play with it for sometime to see. Im adjusting to it as I just got it. Seems like a good racket if you hit clean and with good mechanics. Very forgiving. Even without a dampener you don’t feel the ping sound of the strings. It’s a racket that if you have patience it can benefit your game, maybe. Too early to tell.
Curious how it compares with the Pure Aero 98.
@@adriellepretre9047 Hey, how would you compare Vcore's 95: 2021 vs 2023?
Didn’t you say the Wilson blade was the worst racket for returns as well? Yikers
“Feels cheap”? “Kick serves are unreliable”? What the hell does that mean? What is a cheap feel, did the racquet fall apart when you played it? If you mean it’s unstable just say unstable. You can check the twist weight if you want to be a bit more technical about it. When you miss a serve it’s not the racquet. It’s just not possible unless the racquet randomly changes composition. With all due respect, if you don’t like the racquet just say you don’t like it. These comments sound like you’re making up stuff.
Hmm, I wouldn't say cheap either but if someone said that I guess I could imagine why but I'd disagree.
You can see my review on it and lmk what you thought
I do have to chime in here and say kick serves and topspin serves for some reason just don’t respond well. Had way more spin with the 95 and even the Vcore pro hd on my kick serve than with thos
@@MrFunkyko that’s possible and I don’t have an issue with that. My issue is with Mark’s comment that his kickserves are inconsistent with the same racquet, strings, and service motion. If you hit kickserves 10 times and you get different results then it’s not the racquet because the racquet specs don’t change randomly. It’s more likely that the service motion was just slightly off every time.
The ezone and Vcore pro have really dead top hoops due to low spec, and the flight path of yonex rackets kinda wobbles from beam width. I didn't experience this on the last vcore, but combo of dead tip and instability can easily vary results.
@@BeastOfTheMidEast “Dead tip” and “instability” don’t change randomly. Apart from the strings the only variable that can change is the serve movement. Occam’s razor: the simplest explanation is most likely the correct one.
Hi Mark, when review of Vcore 95 2023?
Hopefully soon. I gotta find the demo at my local shop.
@@MarkSansait can't wait! I wish to know what's a difference between previous version and the most recent one. At least design seems to be a little bit improved. 😂
I thought I was wrong When I tested for the first time this racquet two or three weeks ago, is by far the worst version of the Vcores 98, unstable, unpredictable, low powered, sometimes stiff, loss tension very easy, sometimes 1m over the net, sometimes like 10 mts over the net, and, I added weight and nothing… bad bad racquet. Disappointed. I’m agree with you
At first, it felt perfect for me. I hesitated to buy it immediately since the paint is so ugly. After playing it for an extra 3 days, I felt it was not so reliable and the material felt cheap, as you mentioned. Thanks for your review. I need to demo more racquets.
Yesssss
If it’s good for Tommy paul then it’s good for anyone - just play better
Give novak a frying pan and he'd still beat most everyone.
@@terrymunoztrujillo483 gosh someone got into their dads liquor cabinet 🤣
recently saw the TW vid where Chris was in the Yonex factory in Japan, I remember they said it has more resin in the layup...they cheaped out
The added resin was used to reduce the RA. I doubt the resin costs are much lower than the graphite
To get a more flexible frame, one has to add more resin to the same quantity of graphite. So, if anything at all, it is more expensive to produce a flexible racquet than a stiff one.
Honest reviews are the best reviews. It’s so hard to find non sponsored reviews these days…
please review pure aero 98.
Trying!!!
@@MarkSansait the ultimate question is whats better among PA 98 vs Vcore 98 vs Head Extreme Tour ..
@@AlexanderAndreev1799Head Extreme Tour…Does everything the PA98 does but has better feel and has better predictability than the VCore 98 in my opinion
Personally my draw to the Vcore line is that it includes one of the few modern 95 square inch frames. Never felt anything special on the 98, but the 95 is something I can’t seem to find on other modern frames.
I hated the old 98 so maybe ill like this one!
Let me know what you think!
@@MarkSansait Now ill have to demo it!
Never hit with it so can't comment, but totally agree looks cheap and plastic looking.
I tried the v core 98 2018 model the other day wow does everything great there discontinued now but got lucky and purchased a brand new one on ebay.
What a shame. The tip of the vcore is important. That's where the sweet spot extends. It needs to be predictable
The tip is what my partner always feels. It’s super important.
Lead tape up there...can't expect a frame to be everything. It amazes me how every pro player on the planet customizes their frames and all the amateurs around think a stick should come from the factory ideal. Customize it in the right way just a little and it literally becomes a different racquet.
@@MarkSansait always lead with the tip
"If they are any Yonex employees wathching, I would highly suggest taking my critique seriously" LOL

@@MarkSansait already had it strung :P Luckily I'm a terrible tennis player so it probably wont matter anyway :D
@@MarkSansait Well, got to try it out properly last night and I have to say, for a dirty scrub like me it's a really nice racquet! I really like it!
@@RCShufty It’s an excellent racket. Congrats 👍
How are rackets give you discomfort of wrist? I played more almost all racket brand and models. Never have I felt any discomfort. Why sell a racket that hurts you.
Nice balanced review. Lol at the fact theres a few that found your review upsetting.
Vcore 98 materials are really good based on my personal experience. I doubt your review...
Use a vkub based rackets cleabing and lebding and see it js rare to own a racket it seems like a hanmer and screwdeivwr it takes uge time tonfugyre keep aafujjst and think why
This is a great racket. Go demo it. Don’t believe the (un)hype.

Instead of very honest, should call it very subjective review.
FIRST.

This review is nonsense and totally ridiculous. I’ve played tennis for 40+ years, and still playing at high 4.0 dubs level. I’ve tested 20+ racquets in last 8 months. I chose Vcore 98 as its best for my power dubs game. I use a semi- western FH and love the easy spin, free power, and soft feel (easy on arm).
