Racket Review: Yonex VCore XI 98


 

Originally published on: 04/04/13 00:00

Described by Yonex as "perfect for controlling rallies by hitting deep" this model certainly produced for Argentine Juan Monaco last year as he worked his way into the top 10.

The 16×20 string pattern is designed to offer a solid feel at impact and the result is a reassuring frame that's not too heavy but that still packs a real punch.
