The 7th generation of the Yonex VCORE 98 introduces a softer feel and new geometric design to increase space in the hitting zone around the upper hoop. This translates to increased stability and a larger sweet spot. The geometrics of the frame design has also been reconfigured to enhance the feel of the racquet. Additional features for the 7th generation include SIF grommets which are a silicone oil infusion to reduce friction between the string and the grommet. This basically means the string can move with less interruption, allowing for a crisper feel and increased access to power. Compared to the 6th generation, the stiffness is lower, which provides an extra feel and less shock to the arm. Continuing on from the previous generation, the 2-NAMD FlexForce Graphite gives this racquet uniform flex at the top and lower ends of the racquet. With a 98-square-inch head, both a baseliner and an all-around player can benefit from this racquet. Overall, any aggressive and experienced player will enjoy blasting shots with this winner of a racquet.
