Yonex VCORE 98 8th Gen (2026)

Unleash Maximum spin with the latest 8th Generation Yonex VCORE 98. Gone are the aerofins, replaced with a completely redesigned aerodynamic frame for increased swing speed, helping you generate spin on every shot, no matter the swing style. A newly redesigned top-frame grommet allows the strings to move more freely, increasing snapback and generating more spin than ever before. The extended frame top length has been extended further, creating an even larger sweetspot, while the tapered inner frame is extended for improved ball pocketing. 

Servo Filter has been added to the VCORE lineup for the first time, filtering out any unwanted vibrations while providing significantly improved flex and snapback, giving you more precise feedback on every shot. Combined with the 2G-NAMD FlexForce graphite and VDM, the 8th Generation VCORE 98 provides maximum spin with a more responsive feel, without sacrificing any comfort. 

Weighing 305g with a slightly smaller 98 sq. in. headsize, the Yonex VCORE 98 8th Gen is a well balanced frame, providing a great blend of spin, control and comfort for any intermediate to advanced player.
