2017 Yonex VCORE SV 100 S 100inch 16*18 270g

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 71 RA results in a firmer, more responsive feel at impact. With an unstrung weight of 270 g, the frame favors maneuverability. The 16x18 string pattern (open) influences spin access and launch angle. Performance-wise, it scores 100/100 for power, 100/100 for spin, and 40/100 for control, outlining its on-court behavior. Comfort is more limited, making string selection especially important. Its characteristics suggest a higher potential for arm fatigue if paired with stiff strings. It is best suited for beginner intermediate players.

User comments for racquets with similar specifications highlight predictable on-court characteristics. Many players mention easy access to spin and depth, particularly from the baseline, with a launch angle that helps keep the ball heavy. Some players report that comfort is not the main strength, making string choice and tension especially important. 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 beginner intermediate players.
