Yonex most precise racquet line, the VCORE PROs, are going on sale just in time to stock up for the holidays. This sale includes the previous generation green models. The following models will drop to $199.99 beginning today:
VCORE PRO 97 (330G)
This racquet has gained notoriety on the pro tour, and is endorsed by big hitting Stan Wawrinka. The manufacturer placed a new technology in the handle of the VCORE PROS called Vibration Dampening Mesh (VDM). The stretchy mesh material bonds well with the graphite under the grip to minimize vibrations by 30%. NAMD returns in this version of the VCORE PRO and enhances the flex of the racquet throughout the throat for a powerful and dynamic response. The Lock Booster system is an improved grommet design which promotes string contact for better energy transfer and spin generation. At contact, the strings “lock” against the ball for aggressive, attacking spin.
The engine of the VCORE PRO is the Isometric head shape, which enlarges the sweet spot for more forgiveness on off center hits. The VCORE PRO 97 330g is just over 12 ounces strung, and features a 16×19 string pattern stretched over a control-oriented 97 square inch head. The head-light balance is fast through the hitting zone, and the thin 20 mm beam adds a high level of mobility.
VCORE PRO 97 (310G)
The lighter, 310 gram version is endorsed by the ever improving ATP Star Frances Tiafoe. The VCORE PRO 97 310g is 11.5 ounces strung, and features a 16×19 string pattern stretched over a control-oriented 97 square inch head. The head-light balance is fast through the hitting zone, and the thin 20 mm beam adds a high level of mobility. If you were a fan of the previous version, the new VCORE PRO 97 greatly enhances the comfort and feel. This lighter VCORE PRO 97 maintains impressive precision, but at a much more manageable weight. Players looking for a more mobile control racquet will find a willing partner in the VCORE PRO 97 (310g). 
VCORE PRO 97 HD
How do you take the VCORE PRO 97 and give it even more control and precision. It’s easy, you increase the stability with a heavier frame, and then add a dense 18×20 string pattern! The VCORE PRO 97HD is just under 12 ounces strung, and features a dense 18×20 string pattern on the control-oriented 97 square inch head. The head-light balance is fast through the hitting zone, and the thin 20 mm beam adds a high level of mobility. If you were a fan of the previous version, the new VCORE PRO 97HD greatly enhances the comfort and feel. This is the first 18×20 racquet in the VCORE PRO 97 family.
VCORE PRO 100
The VCORE PRO 100 (300G) is just over 11 ounces strung, and features an open 16×19 string pattern on a spacious 100 square inch head. The VCORE PRO 100 racquets have a 21mm beam, slightly thicker than the 97 square inch version. Compared with the PRO 97s, expect the 100 to play with more power, spin, and forgiveness. If you loved the precise feel of the VCORE PRO 97s, but you need a little more power and help against bigger hitters, the 100 is the perfect frame.
