    Yonex Polytour Spin mains Polytour Fire crosses

    Hello fellow tennis friends! I'm seeing a very good deal for polytour spin and I wonder if this string would be a good string to hybrid with polytour fire to allow that extra bit of kick from my shots. For context I string a full bed of polytour fire 1.20 at 50/48 in my vcore 95 and I'm...

    Tennis Racket recommendations

    I am looking for a new racket. I have been playing with the Babolat Pure Strike VS and really enjoy it but it is not very forgiving.

    Yonex Grip Sizing - Size Down?

    I'm looking at a VCORE Pro 100 (2021) after years using Volkl / Prince / Wilson (all in 4 3/8, or L3). In hand, the Yonex 4 1/4 (L2) feels and looks like a 4 3/8 (L3). I've also read online that Yonex comes with thinner synthetic replacement grips (1.6mm vs a more standard 1.8mm or 1.9mm). If I...

    Pros actually using Yonex Percept or just PJ?

    Press announcements said Tiafoe and Stan both switched to the new Percept, but are they actually using the new mold or is it just a PJ? I can see Tiafoe switching since he's been using a very similar mold, but Stan's been using the 95D for the last ~10 years and I find it hard to believe that...

    Hello, I am buying a second ezone 98. First ezone is strung 23/22kg with Polytour Fire 125. i like it but a slightly controlled string with a bit more precision could not waste. I have the impression that everytime that im not really focused on controlling my power, the ball flies out. Im an...

    String comparison database

    Good day all! I really enjoy testing strings and really enjoy comparing them. I also see a lot of threads pop up asking for comparisons of this string vs that string. But so far, I do not see a master list/thread. As such I aim to create one mega-thread for string comparisons. At least...

    Nick Kyrgios’ new frame?

    Saw a video on Twitter I believe of Kyrgios training which looks recent. He was playing with a blacked out racquet which has to be a Yonex. Seemed very squared off at 11 and 1 o’clock but wondering what it might be and by the sudden testing of a new frame

    Strings fornYonex Vcore 98 2023 and Ezone 98 2022

    Hi There, Any recommendations regarding the strings for these two rackets? I usually tend to overhit and to overpower so i would like something like a good compromise and balance between effortless power and control. Not too much control yet because i can get quickly tired and this is not my aim.

    Yonex 2023 Vcore 95 lead tape location recommendations?

    Hello! I just switched to the 2023 Yonex Vcore 95 and it plays pretty amazing. A racket that feels like an extension of my hand. Ground strokes are great and so much pop on the serve. The only thing that needs some fixes is the volley. It's not as stable on the volley thus I was going to put...

    Does the Yonex VCORE SV 98 come with a foam-filled handle?

    I recently purchased two Yonex VCORE SV98 racquets off of ****, the first one I got came with a foam-filled handle so I assumed that was stock. Then the second one I ordered has a hollow handle, I'm assuming the first one I got was customized by someone, and Yonex didn't just forget to put foam...

    What sounds like a smarter choice, VCore 95 or VCore Pro 97 (HD/Standard)?

    I've recently gotten back into the game, and have gotten into some racquetholism. After using the YouTek IG Radical MP, and then Graphene Prestige MP as a junior, I came back, and thought I'd look for something more powerful than the latter of these to get back into it. I demoed some racquets...
