*********yonex v-core 95d club*********

[mykoh]

heard that there was gonna be a minor update to the vcore line. PP received an email from Yonex themselves IIRC. hoping it is really just a minor update. if they do something crazy like drop the flex and add micro-core i will flip.

Micro core is welcome

When I spoke to one of the reps at the Yonex booth during the US OPEN, it was mentioned that a vcore lite racket would be in the works that is akine to the ezone xi lite.

It's not exactly a market most of us would be interested in and the source probably isn't as reliable as we'd like to be so take it for what you may.

[mykoh]

Very interesting..if yonex decides to stick with the vcores and develop the line, they will have me as a yytard for life. For life!

Another person posted this picture on the forums. I thought it was appropriate since we recently discussed it.

[Bartelby]

that's the frame monaco is playing with at DC

[mykoh]

that is making me drool. microcore AND xi? if they release a 95 (or even better a 93) i will be the first to get one.

[alidisperanza]

I hit with the 93 just yesterday after a warmup with my 95 and was sorely disappointed. I've been itching to get back the iprestige 93 feel and yonex missed the mark on this one. The 95 was more comfortable and had a ton more access to spin. I felt like I had to work so hard to keep the ball at a competitive pace.

93？　not 95?

[alidisperanza]

Sorry, have to work so hard with the 93, not the 95. I really am surprised at the versatility of the 95.

Definite favoritism to the 95

Is there a Vcore 93 or are you talking about the Prestige?

[filphil]

Most likely talking about the prestige.

Most likely talking about the RDIS 100 and not the Prestige.

[alidisperanza]

Blah, sorry guys, I'm an idiot... wasn't paying attention. I was referring to the 89 tour. Usually mid size is ~93 sq in, my mistake

[filphil]

None of us would have guess! lol.

[mykoh]

LOL i was getting all excited for a vcore93 for nothin!

[filphil]

They've arrived.
Now to wait for my stringer to come back and it'll be ready for clay court domination.

[Bartelby]

The leather must have added at least 10 grams to those thin Yonex grips.

[mykoh]

AWESOME.

are those yy leathers you got there? they feel absolutely luxurious in my hands.

funny how so many of us that were raving about the 89t just a month back have switched. i remember scratching my head thinking how in the world did chris and andy not switch to the 89t after playtesting. i have no idea what i did not like about the 89t, but i am somehow using the 95d. i am perplexed. filphil, i patiently await your comparison.

Yep. I imagine it'd be a little above 10 grams. I also use an overgrip with 2 layers of head tape to add some more heft on my sticks.

Unfortunately they're not the YYs. The local Yonex rep could have gotten them through a bulk order but I wasn't about to purchase 12+ grips for 2 rackets. lol.

I've already demoed the 95D so I know what I'm getting in to. With the 89t I just found that when I hit with 4.5+ players(particularly left handed players) I needed more forgiveness than what it was already giving me. The shots produced were marvelous but I'm willing to settle for slightly less spectacular shots for some extra forgiveness.

For the last ten playing hours I've used the Head Prestige Pro and, in comparison to the the 95D, it seems the Yonex 95sq has a larger face than the Head 98sq.
