2017 Yonex VCORE SV 100 280 g. 100inch 16*19 280g

Positioned as a spin frame, this racquet targets players seeking a specific balance of performance traits. The 100 in² head size boosts forgiveness and sweet spot size. A stiffness rating of 69 RA results in a firmer, more responsive feel at impact. With an unstrung weight of 280 g, the frame favors maneuverability. The 16x19 string pattern (semi open) influences spin access and launch angle. Performance-wise, it scores 80/100 for power, 100/100 for spin, and 40/100 for control, outlining its on-court behavior. Its characteristics suggest a higher potential for arm fatigue if paired with stiff strings. It is best suited for intermediate players.

Player discussions around racquets with this profile tend to focus on how it behaves in real match conditions. Many players mention easy access to spin and depth, particularly from the baseline, with a launch angle that helps keep the ball heavy. A recurring theme is the potential for arm discomfort for sensitive players, depending on setup and hitting style. Overall, it is most often recommended by users for intermediate players.
