Yonex Vcore 98 Ruby Red (2026)

For intermediate to advanced players looking to generate aerodynamic spin on every shot with continuous comfort.

The Yonex Vcore 98 Ruby Red (2026) offers a perfect blend of controlled power, modern feel, and all-court versatility. With its slightly larger 98 sq. in. head, this model provides a more forgiving sweet spot while still delivering the precision and connected response advanced players expect. Aerodynamic frame design, enhanced flex materials, and refined vibration-dampening technologies work together to amplify spin, stability, and touch—resulting in a smooth, confident swing from the baseline to the net. This racquet is built for competitors who want reliable performance and balanced playability in every situation.

Technologies

 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 optimising 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

Maximum Spin Potential: Newly engineered straight hole grommets allow more string movement on off-centered shots.

 Vibration Dampening Mesh (VDM)

First used in Yonex snowboards to reduce vibrations at impact, Vibration Dampening Mesh (VDM) is now used in four of the Yonex 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
