Like the previous generation, this racquet combines a 98 square inch head with an open string pattern and Yonex's modified (\"Energized\") Isometric head shape, which includes an enlarged frame top for a wider spin window and easier access to power. On the court, the VCORE 98 moves surprisingly fast, which makes it great for chasing down balls, whipping up heavy spin, or reacting quickly at net. Compared to the VCORE 100,\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ethis stick offers a more precise and predictable response, making it easier to hit your targets with pace or pull the trigger at the end of a long rally\u003c\/strong\u003e. For 2026, Yonex redesigns the beam, giving it a faster, more aerodynamic shape while also thickening it in key locations for added stability and power. Additional 2026 updates include widening the grommet holes for increased string movement and greater snapback, as well as lengthening the inner trench at the tip for added flex and pocketing. To help with comfort, this racquet integrates a thin, elastic film (\u003cb\u003eServo Filter\u003c\/b\u003e) within the layers of NAMD FlexForce Graphite, allowing the frame to flex optimally while also filtering out the harshest vibrations.

Ultimately, Yonex has delivered an impressive update to the VCORE 98.
