2021 Yonex VCore Pro Official Thread

That is a bummer! Does it have more power than the previous Vcore pros?

I think it has less. This model and the Percept are the much more flexible layup. Previous ones were stiffer.
Tiafoe uses this layup but with higher swing-weight, up around 340 I think.

I'm considering the 2021 Vcore pro 97 as i'm recovering from TE and it seems quite arm friendly, however i don't know much about its power level. Could someone chip in and let me know?
Thank you!

Echoing what’s been said already. The VCP97 2021 is a low powered frame considering it’s 60 flex. I used to play with this racket but switched to the 2021 VCore 95 last year, a far better frame IMO. If you’ve got TE, a racket with a 320-325 swing weight might be a better idea and string below 50lbs. To increase the swing weight on the VCP97 310, weight at 10 & 2 totalling 6g and counterweighted in the handle and overgrip helps. This is how I had mine setup. If I had stuck with the frame, I probably would have put a leather grip instead of weights on the handle.
