TOKYO — Yonex Co., Ltd. is proud to announce the launch of the new VCORE PRO racquet, focused on precision and control. With 36% more racquet flex1, the 3rd-generation VCORE PRO was developed for players looking to gain control over all aspects of ball movement: from the ball’s trajectory, speed, spin, bounce, to ball placement.
A completely re-designed throat provides greater racquet flex and feel. Integrated within the throat, the FlexCon System features a tapered and elongated box-frame shaft crafted with Flex Fuse and Flex Force graphite for precise control over the ball.
Flex Fuse is composed of a shock-absorbing polymer within the graphite’s resin for a softer, more plush feeling, while Flex Force graphite promotes greater spin potential.
A slightly thicker beam width for increased power potential and stability puts a modern twist on this traditional racquet series, making the 3rd-generation VCORE PRO more accessible to a wider range of players.
Three-time Grand Slam Champion Stan Wawrinka (SUI), 2021 Wimbledon semifinalist Hubert Hurkacz (POL), Frances Tiafoe (USA), Dayana Yastremska (UKR), and Clara Tauson (DEN) will all debut the new VCORE PRO this fall.
The Yonex Stringing Team recommends pairing the new VCORE PRO with these Yonex strings:
- Intermediate to advanced players: POLYTOUR REV, POLYTOUR STRIKE , REXIS SPEED
- Beginner and recreational players: REXIS SPEED, DYNAWIRE
The new green and purple VCORE PRO launches exclusively in the United States on August 24, 2021. The worldwide launch is September 14, 2021.

INNOVATION
FlexCon System
For racquet flex and feelA tapered and elongated box-frame shaft is composed of Flex Force and Flex Fuse graphite for precise control of the ball.
Flex Fuse
For a softer feelingA shock-absorbing polymer is integrated within the graphite’s resin for increased racquet flex and a softer, more plush feeling.
2G-Namd Flex Force2
For increased ball-pocketingFlex Force graphite allows the racquet to quickly flex and snap back for greater spin and faster ball acceleration off the string bed.
2Namd is technology developed by Nitta Co., Ltd. to uniformly disperse carbon nanotubes in carbon fiber composites.
Thicker Frame Design
Increased power potentialWidening the outer beam of the racquet creates added frame stability and repulsion.
Lock Booster Grommet System
Ball-crushing spinAn improved grommet design that promotes string contact for efficient energy transfer and power.
Vibration Dampening Mesh (VDM)
For added touch and precisionA stretchy mesh material is wrapped around the graphite within the grip to filter unwanted vibrations.
