The 7th-Generation VCORE: The Art of Spin

TOKYO – Yonex Co., Ltd. is proud to announce the launch of the 7th-generation VCORE
racquet on Jan. 13, 2023. As Yonex’s No.1 spin racquet, this product features a high
trajectory spin ball that drops and bounces in greater scale, which allows players a wider
range of strategic and aggressive game play.

Featuring Yonex’s unique “ISOMETRIC” technology, the frame consists of a 7% ※ 1
enlarged sweet spot compared to a conventional round frame. The new enlarged wide
frame top increased ball contact area by 1.9%※1 and enables strings flexing largely and
forming a better launch angle, higher trajectory in ball flight. The new Silicone Oil Infused
Grommet ※ 2 with high lubrication helps strengthen the string flex, allowing rapid
snapbacks and dynamic spin.

Furthermore, reducing the beam by 0.5mm in the frame top brings minimal air resistance,
enhancing the swing speed.

These technologies have increased overall performance, with net clearance by 3.6%※3
and spin by 1.8%※3. High-trajectory spin ball reduces unforced errors around the net,
allowing a strategic play with more aggressive rally.

In order to obtain wide range of customers, to expand the range of customers, from
professional athletes to intermediate and junior players.

The new “VCORE” racquet will be used by 2022 Davis Cup champion and World
No.18, Denis Shapovalov (CAN), 2022 Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) Finals
champion and World No.4, Caroline Garcia (FRA), and 2022 Wimbledon champion and
World No. 22, Elena Rybakina (KAZ), along with many other top players. Garcia and
Rybakina placed in first and second in WTA service ace ranking in 2022 respectively.

※ 1 Tested by YONEX.
※ 2 Applied stringing technology to tennis racket grommets for the first time in the industry.
※ 3 Compared to previous models via machine testing, tested by YONEX.

INNOVATION

2G-Namd™ Flex Force

For Aggressive, attacking spin
Incorporated in the upper throat to the lower frame, new Flex Force graphite allows for
the racquet to quickly flex and snapback for maximum spin potential.

Frame Structure & Shaft Design

For Improved Feel & Control
A thinner beam, new throat design, and wider frame top create a maneuverable,
stabilized racquet with a higher launch angle to increase topspin.

Vibration Dampening Mesh (VDM)

For added touch and precision
A stretchy mesh material is wrapped around the graphite within the grip to filter
unwanted vibrations.

AERODYNAMIC TECHNOLOGY

A Faster Frame For More Spin
Aero Trench and Aero Fin Technology reduce air resistance for easy maneuverability
and added spin.

SIF GrommetsRapid String Snapback For Added Spin

A Silicone Oil Infused Grommet reduces the friction between the grommet and string
allowing the racquet to quickly snapback into its original position.

ISOMETRICTM

Signature YONEX Technology
Compared to a conventional round frame, a square-shaped ISOMETRIC TM racquet
generates a 7% larger sweet spot that delivers greater control without sacrificing power.
