Vcore Xi 98, not Ezone Xi 98 right? It looks like he played with that early 2015 or before. The bridge looks like a Si to me below:

Lol nice shot which I believe he hit for the first time in his career. This isn't making him some player btw.

He's top 100 so he's a big time player.
Only 5'6
Being top 100 makes him "some player"

You're right. But I never heard anything from this guy.

Some here make it sound like they only follow tennis due to propaganda
Try to see whats outside that, it helps the game and prevents the ATP
from ruining the chances of lower ranked players moving up.

what shoes did he have in Atlanta? I'm probably blind but I'm not seeing them for sale anywhere. They look sweet.

Is that the V Core Tour F Paint Job?

Thanks, didn't see they just came out with the update. Still looks a lot like the VCORE Tour F paint job but still noticeable differences.

Looks like he's wearing a version of the fusion rev. Possibly the next version?

Good eye!
I agree. Isn't it nice when a paintjob is only used in transition from one frame to the next over a few months.

Thanks! And it is nice when the pro is actually using the retail frame!

He is marcelo Rios reborn in younger form. He is a carbon copy clone they created in Japan by using the DNA of Rios and mixing it with Shuzo Matsuoka DNA.

Does that dude wear eye shadow or is it just a paint job?

Why not. The SV98 is a great racquet !!! (Well the color of the paintjob is.)

Why does Yonex write:
Yoshihito is proud to play with YONEX using the VCORE 98 racquet, Pro Series bag, Fusion REV2 tennis shoes, Tournament, On-Court and Practice Style clothing.
and post a picture of him using a 16x20 pattern racket with a VCore 98 PJ

Well that throat is a definite change up from the older posts.Why does Yonex write:

what kind of strings does he use ?

Looks like you might be right.
My point was just that it's dishonest for Yonex to write that he is using the VCore 98 (verbatum), whilst posting a picture of him playing with a frame that clearly isn't.

Well we (the forum folks) are freaks. The fact that people like us got Babolat and HEAD to change their language from "using" to "endorsing" is simply amazing.
False advertising? sure, but I think it is less of a problem than we make it out to be. You cant have Yonex with their list of pros using 25 old versions of rackets... it makes for bad marketing and most people wouldn't know what to do with that information. They just want the "nudge" to buy the racket that they think looks good in a pros hands.

Yonex is the only one I can think of where lots of pros use their retail frames. I would not be totally surprised if he plays the frame stock.

"For example, Jeremy Chardy (top 46) plays with the T-Fight 305, without modification or customization from the factory specs. "https://www.tecnifibre.com/tecnimag/tennis-racket/t-fight-xtc-fight-touch-style
This is after the Babolat lawsuit, when all the companies changed their website wording to endorses from plays with. I see no reason Tecnifibre would risk a lawsuit to say this if it weren't true.

I think it depends on how you interpret the last part of the sentence: "Jeremy Chardy (top 46) plays with the T-Fight 305, without modification or customization from the factory specs".
You could argue that adding lead strips is neither modifying of customizing the racket (itself). Those would include custom layups, custom drilling (string patterns), custom handles, custom bumper guards aso. Adding silicone would probably also fall into one of those categories as well. But lead strips and string savers f.inst. could be viewed as strings and dampeners.
