VCORE ‘Sand Beige’ Put Your Spin On It
TOKYO, Japan – Yonex is excited to announce the addition of a new design for the 7th generation of its VCORE tennis racquet series. This ‘Sand Beige’ design will help players of all skill levels take control of their game and give them a competitive edge when it launches on August 23, 2024.
Since launching the original ‘Scarlet’ racquet design, Yonex has supported athletes to improve their game, with superior spin and power. Now athletes can choose the aesthetic that best suits their preferences too. Where Scarlet’s colors represent outward energy, the all-new Sand Beige racquet is based on the idea of the quiet energy hidden within. Comprised of light but deep colors, this design aims to subtly help the player focus and concentrate, eliminate distractions, and tackle high-pressure situations in a game with confidence.
“It’s something different and I like it. It will be interesting to swing to see how it is going to feel with the new color,” Elena Rybakina (KAZ) comments on the new VCORE ‘Sand Beige’ racquet.
As established by the release of Scarlet, the 7th-generation VCORE is Yonex’s No.1 spin racquet series that supports high trajectory spin ball that drops and bounces at greater angles. This allows players a wider range of strategic and aggressive game play.
Featuring Yonex’s unique “ISOMETRIC” technology, the frame consists of a 7%** enlarged sweet spot compared to a conventional round frame. The wide frame top increases ball contact area and enables strings to optimally flex and form a large launch angle, as well as achieve high trajectory in ball flight. The Silicone Oil Infused Grommets with high lubrication helps strengthen the string flex, allowing rapid snapbacks and dynamic spin.
Players using the VCORE racquet series have won many titles, including the Grand Slams. At the most recent Wimbledon Championships 2024, three of the top four women’s singles players used the series.
The VCORE 95, 98, 98L, 100, 100L, GAME, and FEEL will be available in the new color. The VCORE will still be offered in the existing ’Scarlet’, giving players the choice of designs. Diede de Groot (NED), as well as Elena Rybakina, Tommy Paul (USA) and Donna Vekic (CRO), are among the Team Yonex athletes who will use the distinct new design of the VCORE series.
