    Yonex V Core Pro 97 thoughts

    It’s a really good frame. Best one yet in my opinion in terms of being a good fit for most players. Neither stiff nor super flexible but a nice medium. Good power, good control, good feel. Cannot go far wrong. I think it’s the best frame on the market of its type (disclaimer: have tried almost...

    Wilson Pro Staff V14.0

    Are Wilson making a mistake with the length of time to get this to market? Lots of new sticks out already and they don’t have fed to drive the sales anymore. Super interested in the PSX. Anyone have playing insights or release dates? I spoke with a major retailer in Germany and they just said...

    2021 Yonex VCore Pro Official Thread

    Yep. Just tried a few variations tonight - Yonex hoops just hate lead. Strung specs (before lead) were: 340g, 30:8cm, 303sw (switched for a leather grip and tourna OG). I had all variations up to 6g at 12 (below 6g felt awful) but it just stiffened the string bed and there was a total loss of...

    Thanks for the advice - I went for them and a reel of lead and tungsten tape. Will update on how it works out

    2021 Yonex VCore Pro Official Thread

    Anyone had any experience with low swingweight vcore pro 310s? Just got figures back and they are coming in at 275sw unstrung and 30.4 balance. I would like to get them to around the 320/325 mark strung. After adding 30pts on for string (please correct if this is wrong) that would leave me...

    Yonex Vcore Pro 97HD vs Yonex Vcore Pro 97D

    Has anyone done a side by side comparison of the launch angle of the HD vs. D either stock or modified?

    Yonex VCORE 95 vs Wilson PS97CV

    even later reply :) I would generally always try to counterbalance to keep the overall balance the same. I do this to ensure that the mechanics of the stroke are the same. Generally, I try to keep the SW, Static Weight and Balance within a tolerance range but balance seems to be the spec I am...

    Launch angle

    This is a great summary! I have been going through this process with my vcore pro 97 HD and this is exactly my experience. To add 2 cents from my experience in case it helps: I was able to slightly adjust the launch (I found all of these worked: thinner gauge, poly with low tension, shaped...

    New ProStaff line anywhere on the horizon?

    Anyone else have any more info on this? I am thinking of getting the PSv13 but the more classic feel would really appeal.

    Yonex Vcore Pro 97HD vs Yonex Vcore Pro 97D

    looking through the posts it seems like the TW initial specs were high for SW, personally happy to hear as they were beefy. Was there a final consensus on the production SW for 310, D, H models?

    Yonex VCore Pro 97 HD review...

    I tried a few combinations and polys but I settled on NXT mains and Alu Rough crosses and it is working great for me. On clay I use 22kg on mains and cross and indoor / hard I drop 1kg on the cross for a higher launch angle. I found that the increased cross string tension on clay maintains the...

    Hybrid stringing and frame distortion

    Hello all! `Thanks for all the great advice. I have taken it all in and tried a few things. Summary below: @Irvin - thanks for the stringway pointer. I did this and it gave me a tension of 21kg mains; 22.3kg cross (assuming my strings were the right category which I think they were). This felt...

    Hybrid stringing and frame distortion

    Hello Tennis colleagues, I am in need of some help and guidance: I have been using a hybrid of Wilson NXT mains and Alu Power Rough crosses for some time now and at a tension difference of -1 on the crosses. This has always served me well and I have never noticed any frame distortion (Wilson...

    Yonex Sonicage 2

    Original sonicage were nice shoes and good value. As people mention, even the standard width was wide in the toe box and the length was short - would go up at least a half size Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Indoor shoes for carpet with rubber pellets

    Indoor shoes for carpet with rubber pellets

    I am playing in Germany and we have a lot of indoor courts that appear to be carpet based with rubber pellets on the top. From the UK I know we have genuine carpet courts with no pellets. This leaves me a little confused with the “carpet” shoes on sale at TWE. Does anyone know if the “carpet”...

    It's now on the Yonex Website! VCORE Pro EMERALD

    HD is a Great Frame but I am struggling to know if I can change to the 18x20 pattern. As people mention it is an open 18x20 but I am still unsure. I think some feel is lacking off the stringbed vs. a 16x19. Currently strung with NXT mains and Alu Power Rough crosses. Anyone hit with the HD and...

    Do you know if it is still 8 mains in the throat? I really hope they switch to 6 like the vcore would open the pro line up to be an even better racket IMO Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Stringing advice - mains vs cross tension to avoid boardy feel

    Hi all, I am reaching out for some advice from those more learned than I. I currently use a yonex vcore 98 stock strung with Isospeed control 1.30 mains @23kg and PTP 1.25 @21 on the crosses. The choice of tension difference was mainly due to a toned frane and lowering the tension on the...

    VCORE 98 (305) v VCORE Pro 97 (310)

    Hey - you are onto a good path :D I have played the VCP97 (310) and now use the VC98 and can offer some thoughts and please feel free to ask anything else. I used the VCP for about 3 months and VC98 is my current racket of choice (3months use and counting): Both are great and you would...

    Yonex VCORE 95 vs Wilson PS97CV

    Good racket options! I can offer my two cents here. As background I am a decent level player who would generally play in a club 1st or 2nd team. I used the PS97CV for about 6 months and 1 month of the Vcore 95 (Also a tested V Core 98 and the V Core Pro 97 310g - more on them later). I would...

    I got it out! Arm can’t handle a full poly so I switched to a hybrid with PTP in the mains. Felt good but I got the tension drastically wrong 21; 23 with sens crosses. It is a tough pattern. What tension did you use on your crosses to balance the string bed? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Official Pro Staff 97 S Club

    Just noticed I failed to mention I have the 2016 version. Could well be aggravated elbow but feels ok when I go back to my trusty old 2014 PS95. Any stringing tips? Maybe it is my set up. Had Wilson sens mains and PTP crosses at a range of tensions: 22,20; 23,21; equal tensions of 22, 21, 20 and...

    Looking to have a softer string bed. It seems to aggravate my arm when you have a board feel. I have tried gauge changes and low tensions, hybriding etc but hasn’t quite worked yet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hi - reaching out for a bit of insight from the boards. I am struggling a little with 18 mains in this racket. Anyone tried stringing this without the two outer mains to make a 16x17? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
