Yonex VCORE 100D 8th Gen

Designed for all-around players seeking aerodynamic spin with consistent comfort, the 8th-generation VCORE 100D delivers easy power and spin for an aggressive, full-court style. Sitting between the 100 and 98 models, the 100D offers a blend of stability and sweet-spot forgiveness that gives stronger players dialled in power and spin.

The 100-square-inch head size provides easier power and greater access to spin than the smaller 95 and 98 variants. At 10.8 ounces, the slightly heavier weight delivers strong stability for taking big swings or redirecting pace at net, while the head-light balance keeps the racquet highly manoeuvrable for quick reactions and smooth spin generation. The 16/20 string pattern adds a touch more control with slightly less free pop, encouraging players to generate heavier, faster swings for enhanced spin.

The latest VCORE introduces the most advanced spin-focused engineering in the series’ history, beginning with Yonex’s signature ISOMETRIC square-shaped frame and a newly sculpted upper hoop that together create the line’s largest-ever sweet spot for enhanced forgiveness and cleaner contact. Expanded inner grooves increase frame flex for improved ball hold and feel, reducing the harshness of off-centre hits while boosting spin potential, and newly designed grommets allow greater string movement to generate stronger snapback. The frame has also been aerodynamically refined based on different swing types to reduce air resistance, enabling smoother racquet head speed and sharper, higher-spinning shots. Complementing these structural upgrades, Yonex’s proprietary carbon technologies integrated throughout the frame, yoke, shaft, and grip enhance power, stability, and control—working in unison to give players a confident, consistent, and high-spin response on every strike.

Trusted by elite players on tour, the new VCORE series was developed through close collaboration with professional athletes to deliver high-spin performance that adapts to a wide range of swing types and power levels. With enhanced stability, comfort, and racquet head speed, this update should strongly appeal to stronger players seeking controlled power and heavy spin, offering refined specifications suited to more discerning players.

• ISOMETRIC: Developed over 30 years ago, the ISOMETRIC design increases the sweet spot by 7%. Compared to a conventional round frame, a square-shaped ISOMETRIC racquet generates a larger sweet spot by optimizing the intersection of the main and cross strings. ISOMETRIC technology delivers greater control without sacrificing power.
  
• Aero Trench - Reduced Drag: To achieve faster head speeds for increased spin potential, the new Aero Trench reduces drag by uniquely hiding the grommets located at the top of the racquet frame.
  
• LINER TECH - For Maximum Spin Potential: Newly engineered straight hole grommets allow more string movement on off-centered shots.
  
• VDM (VIBRATION DAMPENING MESH): First used in Yonex’s snowboards to reduce vibrations at impact, Vibration Dampening Mesh (VDM) is now used in four of Yonex’s racquet series. VDM is a stretchy mesh material that is wrapped around the graphite within the grip to filter unwanted vibrations and improve touch and precision.
  
• 2G-NAMD FLEX FORCE: Aggressive, attacking spin for pinpoint control is achieved through a carbon nanotube structure that binds the graphite fibers together, which reduces energy loss. Due to its resilient properties, the material flexes and provides quick snapback. Namd is technology developed by Nitta Co., Ltd. to uniformly disperse carbon nanotubes in carbon fiber composites.
  
• SERVO FILTER: A transparent and elastic film placed between graphite layers helps bond the layers while maintaining its elastic characteristics even after the molding process. This unique film absorbs unwanted vibrations, provides fine-tuned flex and snapback to each shot, delivering precise sensory feedback from the ball to the hand. SERVO FILTER is a vibration-absorbing film developed by the Mitsubishi Chemical Group, which has high bonding properties with graphite and excels in both flexibility and durability
