Good review! It’s good to try Poly Tour Strike (black version) with 46 pounds. You may feel more power and the hit is more crispy. (Although I still prefer Ezone 98 with poly tour pro yellow version)😂
Great review and comparison, thanks for that. You did put a very controlled string in those frames, so that wouldn't have helped with the power. In this frame, I'd probably go with something like a Hyper G Soft 17, which has a bit more pop than Confidential, and then drop the tension to 46M / 44C. Mid to low 40's is the way to go with those mid sized / dense string pattern racquets.
Thanks! I totally agree that hyper G soft should work with this frame. Unfortunately I cannot choose the setup on these rackets. Will use your suggested setup in the next review!
@@tantennis That's just personal experience, but I use 18x20 Angell TC95 and TC97, and found the following to play best, assuming one wants to stick with poly strings: - thin gauge (no thicker than 1.20mm) - shaped strings with crosses strung 2-3lbs looser than the mains, to get more launch angle and net clearance - soft string to avoid the stringbed feeling like a board - mid to low 40's to help with the power
Enjoyed the very insightful, unbiased and honest review. I really liked how you described the playtest during a match. Have you tried a Regna 98? How would it compare to the 95, even just from memory? Or better yet, can you do a review on one (2022 version)? Thank you and keep up the great work!
How is the power compared to the Blade V8 16x19? I played around with a Blade yesterday, but I felt that it had little power and little stability compared to my Prince.
will you do a comparison with the 98? I'm playing with the 2021 VC95. Previously I'd found the VC98 too stiff in the last generation, but I've heard they've brought that down this time.
You put one of the deadest strings on a 95 and then complain about no power....one string doesn't fit all rackets....vcore 95 is string sensitive....soft power poly works best
@@tantennis I think you did the right thing on using the same string and tension for all of them. Tennis players should know that it is only for reference and each racket will behave differently with sting changes. That's how you make a fair assessment, take out as much variables as you can. Maybe as a side note in your future review, give some info on best strings that'll work for the racquet? Really good review though and keep it coming.
@@joycheng658 Thanks! That’s what I tried to do. Actually the rackets in this video are not mine, so there are limits in choosing strings (it already came with these setup). So I cannot test it with other strings as I have to send them back to the owner.
I understand you. I used vcore 98 2018 for a while and it is so muted. I think the 2023 version has improved feel than previous version, and 95 has better feel than 98, but still in vcore universe.
Yes this racket can hit flat pretty well. I think the low flex and dense string pattern helps with that. I don’t think the 95 is very spinny anyway. No issues on touch shots so far. Can 4.0 player use this racket. Yes, you may find it underpower and hard to hit with. To be optimistic, it could help you improve the fundamentals. But can 4.0 pull off full potential on it when playing a match. Probably not.
Yonex Vcore 95 is more plush and comfortable. More spin generation. PS97 gives more raw and direct feel, and I think it has more power. Both of them are control oriented but I think PS97 is more precise with the feel.
@@tantennis I loved the feel of the ps. she is a solid racket. It's very accurate, good spin, but underpowered for someone who attacks all the time. what do you suggest to increase her power?
@@ers87 I love the feel on the pro staff too. What I did is add some lead to increase SW and probably use string that enhance the power. However, I gave up and go to Blade 98 in the end as it’s still a bit too demanding.
Hello how can you compare this with Prostaff 97 315gr V13? I am using that one and considering to move to this one... I have a forehand with tons of spin, flat and slice serve... My backhand (one hander) is a bit more flat than my forehand but not flat. I hit a lot of slice on backhand side. I am looking to have better feel, more soft, but without losing control.
Hi, I think if you looking for better feel, Vcore is definitely not the answer, unless you like Yonex muted feel. Try the PS97 v14. It’s like 15% softer, a bit better feel, and you get all pretty much the same. Cheers!
How do you compare the 2023 version with Prestige pro Auxetic (18x20 320gr). I am considering which one to use. I usually will go for prestige, but this Yonex seems interesting.
Its worth testing this but use correct string and tension (not as in this video). It will be lighter, more spin and more powerful than Prestige but less control.
Meh change your strings mate, use gut on the crosses and a poly on the mains and you will get enough power! Put Gut on the mains and poly on the crosses you will get too much power to control
@@tantennis thank you for your reply and sorry that i just see you already mention about tension on vdo after i watch second time. i just got it after watch your review haha. Thanks again for good review.
Reviews are coming a long nicely! Great job.
Thanks! I’m a fan of your channel btw.
@@tantennis thanks!
Thanks for the review. Looking forward to another comparison video with the 2021 VC95 vs 2023 VC95. 🎾🎾🤓
Thanks! So sad I don’t have the 2021 vcore, nor my friends.
Good thorough review. I enjoyed it. Thanks!
Appreciated
Good review! It’s good to try Poly Tour Strike (black version) with 46 pounds. You may feel more power and the hit is more crispy. (Although I still prefer Ezone 98 with poly tour pro yellow version)😂
Thanks for the suggestion. I want to try ptp yellow for EZone 98 as well. In search for the best compatible setup.
You're points play with this racquet looked really good. Some deep cross court fh's stood out. Great review
Thanks!
Nice review. Looking forward to trying the new verson.
Thanks!
Great review
Thanks!

@@johnnyguitar6697 thanks for the suggestion!
The 2018 version is the best Vcore 95 yet, if it’s better than the 2018 then it’s a great racquet
It’s a great racket for sure.
Excellent review. Not even Marcus Giron can play consistently well with this racquet!
Enjoyed the very insightful, unbiased and honest review. I really liked how you described the playtest during a match. Have you tried a Regna 98? How would it compare to the 95, even just from memory? Or better yet, can you do a review on one (2022 version)? Thank you and keep up the great work!
Thanks! Fortunately I actually just got a Regna 98 gen 1 with me at the moment but haven’t really hit with it yet.
Design wise is subjective cause i like the popping design
Exactly!
Hat's off to you sir! Great review!
Have you tried adding weight to the racquet? If so, what were the results?
I think the smaller the head size the hevier the racket should be. With static weight up to 350g it may be one of the best rackets
Can you review with poly tour pro yellow and lead at 3 and 9 ? Great and best review
Will consider string it with ptp next time!
@@tantennis and lead at 3 and 9 which is what it probably needs …
How is the power compared to the Blade V8 16x19? I played around with a Blade yesterday, but I felt that it had little power and little stability compared to my Prince.
I think it’s more demanding than my Blade v8 16x19. Partially could be because of the string setup that some people say it’s too dead.
will you do a comparison with the 98? I'm playing with the 2021 VC95. Previously I'd found the VC98 too stiff in the last generation, but I've heard they've brought that down this time.
I will do for sure if I got my hands on the new Vcore 98. Stay tune!
You put one of the deadest strings on a 95 and then complain about no power....one string doesn't fit all rackets....vcore 95 is string sensitive....soft power poly works best
Yes I agree. Confidential is definitely not the best setup for the Vcore 95.

What's a good soft power poly?

What’s a good soft power poly you can recommend? 🙏
Great review congrats . Would it benefit from lead at 3 and 9 ?
I think the racket is stable enough. But if you aim to increase the plow then yes it would help because the racket is so underpower.
Any thoughts on adding some rating system to these reviews?
Will consider that in the next video!
I used the 2021 version and hated them, for me there was zero feel, not sure they have sorted this out for the new frame?
I understand you. I used vcore 98 2018 for a while and it is so muted. I think the 2023 version has improved feel than previous version, and 95 has better feel than 98, but still in vcore universe.
Is it a fast racket?
Is the sweet spot bigger compared with the pure aero vs? How do they compare in spin and comfort?
It’s a fast racket. More comfort and forgiving. I think Pure Aero has more spin.
Can you hit flat with this racquet? How about touch shots? And, can a 4.0 player use this racquet..
Yes this racket can hit flat pretty well. I think the low flex and dense string pattern helps with that. I don’t think the 95 is very spinny anyway. No issues on touch shots so far.
Can 4.0 player use this racket. Yes, you may find it underpower and hard to hit with. To be optimistic, it could help you improve the fundamentals. But can 4.0 pull off full potential on it when playing a match. Probably not.
How does to compare the Wilson Pro Staff 97 (315g) with this new Yonex Vcore 95?
Yonex Vcore 95 is more plush and comfortable. More spin generation. PS97 gives more raw and direct feel, and I think it has more power. Both of them are control oriented but I think PS97 is more precise with the feel.
@@tantennis I loved the feel of the ps. she is a solid racket. It's very accurate, good spin, but underpowered for someone who attacks all the time. what do you suggest to increase her power?

Any update to a new string set up including lead tape V
Which one you like bette for control pure aero vs or the 96 Yonex ??
At this point I prefer the PA98. However, I think it should compare with the new Vcore 98 not the 95 tho. And I don’t have the new Vcore 98 yet.
How do you get early access to these racquets? Do they get released early in your region?
Demo racket from Yonex
Hello how can you compare this with Prostaff 97 315gr V13? I am using that one and considering to move to this one... I have a forehand with tons of spin, flat and slice serve...

@@tantennis When you say muted feel do you refer to more like "prestige feel" where you feel like racket absorb the impact/ball?
How do you compare the 2023 version with Prestige pro Auxetic (18x20 320gr). I am considering which one to use. I usually will go for prestige, but this Yonex seems interesting.
Its worth testing this but use correct string and tension (not as in this video). It will be lighter, more spin and more powerful than Prestige but less control.
@@ttc744 if we compare it with prostaff v13 315?
Will you review the 98?
I don’t have it yet but will do fore sure. Stay tune!
It’s good for a one handed backhand with topspin?
Yes
Are you also going to test the 98in?
Yes I will. Stay tune!
what is your usual racquet ?
Blade 98 v8 16x19
Why without Yonex Vcore 95 2021?
Because I can’t find it, sadly
Meh change your strings mate, use gut on the crosses and a poly on the mains and you will get enough power! Put Gut on the mains and poly on the crosses you will get too much power to control
ขึ้นเอ็นที่เท่าไหร่หรอครับ
48 lbs ครับ
