Yonex V Core 100L Review

Spin and speed reigns supreme.

Those who are looking for a user-friendly racket with raw speed and easy targeting should definitely check out the Yonex V Core 100L. At 280g, the 100L is more forgiving than the other rackets in the V Core range, yet it still delivers sensational feel and spin friendly precision. The 100L is more suitable for intermediates and beginners because of the maneuverability and lighter weight. Beginners will be able to control the rackets capabilities and advanced players will admire the balance between spin, power, and control.

Yonex introduced new technologies in 2021, including the Vibrating Dampening Mesh (VDM). The VDM is stretchy material that is wrapped around the graphite in the grip, to aid shock absorption. It improves the touch and precision of the racket while also providing great comfort. Flex Force incorporates a resilient carbon nanotube structure that binds the graphite fibres together, increasing flexibility and snapback. The redesigned grommet system String Synch, contains inserted grommet nozzles in the larger frame hole, allowing the strings and nozzle to move together.

These technologies have been added to improve the spin and torque of the racket, while also maintaining power and accuracy. In addition to the new technologies, the racket feels lively and precise for groundstrokes with the 3D Vector Shaft technology improving the stability in the frame. The light and rapid feel is convenient for scrambling or playing shots on the run. The speed will also help players build their skills in volleying and serve returns, due to the additional whip.

Of course, it’s hard not to mention the rackets signature technology, the Isometric head shape. It increases the sweet spot by 7% by optimising the intersection of the main and cross strings, without sacrificing power. As endorsed by multiple Grand Slam winner, Angelique Kerber, The V Core range is great for all-round players looking to improve their skills. Whether you’re a beginner or your game revolves around spin, The Yonex V Core 100L is the choice for you.
