    2023 Yonex VCores

    I can't answer for sure as I have never asked the question. I do know at one point Giron was not fully contracted with Yonex. Not sure the situation now. Shapo for sure will be on a different deal and as soundbyte says.. it's all about selling frames at the end of the day.

    2023 Yonex VCores

    This is correct information. The new version does not have more free power imo. But is a.more balanced racket. More stable and the string bed has a more consistent feel. an improvement for sure .. Just my opinion though.

    men’s vs women’s tennis ball - the controversy

    The simple fact is they play hugely differently. Whatever the reason. The girls balls fly all over the place and are tough to control. As we use the same balls at all the other slams I really don't see why the change at US Open. On top of that most other events now are using a heavier duty...

    Nishioka New V-core!!!

    They will be available for Australia. I tried it at Wimbledon. I prefer it to outgoing. Blacked out though so no clue on PJ.

    New Yonex VCore Pro Line ??

    I think it's a good move to go to 23mm.. if there was a bit more stability with the racket and help with the serve I think you would see a lot more people using them

    Will Grass ever be as fast as this?

    The match courts at Wimbledon this year were noticably slower than the last few years. Not even comparable to Birmingham or Notts which also played slower than a few years ago. Agree on the balls being heavy, although they have not been changed since at least 2018. Not sure about before that.

    Karatsev, Sinner and Musetti are all flavour of the month and overrated

    While the people at the top keep winning they have an element of control over the surfaces. It's why all surfaces are basically the same. Help the big names be in the finals = sell more

    Most Pros are using stock racquets

    I can not control other peoples belief systems either on TTW or elsewhere. But putting aside perceived worth or perceived quality of product, any frame that has been produced solely for professionals would sit in the category of pro stock / stock for professionals. As for peoples beliefs that a...

    Most Pros are using stock racquets

    You are changing the argument.. No one (well I am not) saying that having a racket that is painted like a different racket makes it any better or worse than the same retail racket. What the point is, as soon as you obtain a racket that is only made available to pro players e.g. a paintjob...

    New Yonex Vcore (for 2020 or 2021 ?)

    I would say power is pretty similar although this one is a lot more solid. I really like the feel on this one.. again its solid but I feel the balls stay on the strings longer than the last two versions. Because of the extra feel and solidity I would say control is better, because you can feel...

    New Yonex Vcore (for 2020 or 2021 ?)

    The paint job in real life is actually really good.. an improvement imo.. 98 is way more solid playing.. string bed dwell time still not super long but I prefer it over the VC98

    Swiatek...countdown to racquet change

    Customised frame from last year. Probably painted like.the rebound. DC customising made her a load of test frames with prince grip.. apparently that's the plan for now

    Thoughts on a change from LM Instinct Tour XL

    The Vcore 100 + or Ezone 100 + is much more similar to the LM instinct tour XL. but easier to swing and IMO feel better.. especially the VC.. if you play singles and can handle the + size stick with it

    ATP players' council around Roger Federer wants to redistribute the prize money: "Take it from the poor and give it to the rich"!

    I have read some misinformed posts on here before but this is the best of them. Do you have any idea of the cost from Junior to professional level yet alone expenses when you reach the tour? Being rewarded for a second round loss, or maybe it's being paid an amount that recognises you are top...

    More impressive pet project: Laver Cup or Rafa Nadal Academy

    no one is saying that they are not useful .. but to say they 'produced' a player after a few days is misleading.

    More impressive pet project: Laver Cup or Rafa Nadal Academy

    Anyone who thinks going to practice for a few days at an academy courts warrants that academy being given credit for developing that player is simply misguided. Example in this thread if Rafa Nadal academy 'developed' the player named here then so did the Mouratoglou academy, Clark Francis...

    Rodionov - clothes: Yonex, racquet: Yonex, shoes: Asics WTH???

    It is very difficult to get Yonex shoes on contract. There regular clothes and racket agreement does not include shoes.
