Poly tour rev in vcores great

I gotta try this string at some point. It’s pricey AF or I already would have.

I have it in my bag of strings might be before you buuuut i have this craving of solinco tour bite soft. I think it can play good in the vct

You mean a new paint job of course, not a structural change. It’s very early in the product cycle for a ‘new’ model, but apparently some retailers have seen the ‘new’ VCore; it could also explain the lack of stock availability in some VCore models already, such as 2023 VCore 98+ in 4 1/2, although longbodies aren’t usually part of special midlife releases.
Heard a whisper that beige is an interesting possibility...

somehow beige is absolutely tantalizing for me

Sand/beige
Guessing it’ll just be standard length models.

When I think of those colors, I think of a wood frame. Not sure I have seen a graphite racquet with that color scheme before.

I think today is the day that my new Vcore 95 arrives, what tension do you guys recommend? I won´t change strings, I´ve been stringing with Dynawire at 38 pounds on my Ultra Tour. Whay so low? Because I wanted a little more power and spin from a very closed 18x20 string pattern. The thing is that I started to really like that low tension a lot but I don´t want to depend on it to generate power. What would you say is a good tension to try?

Not much higher - 40#s or so should be great. I’m in low 40s on VC98.

I can´t wait. Almost 3 weeks of waiting.

Is 2023 vcore 100 better than 2018 vcore 100 or vcore SV100??

what has been your experience w the vCore line?

the 2023 head shape is different and I feel it brings the sweet spot a bit higher compared to the previous model. The string spacing is also wider so break string quicker.

I have been in vcores through several iterations now. The 2023 models (100) are, as stated above, more spinny. I haven't seen a significant diff. in string breakage rate, although I am not a big string breaker.
There is significantly more power available in the 2023 models. I still have my all red 2020(?) models and 2 2023 models, I have compared them side by side several times.

all red 2020(?) models and 2 2023 models,

All Red (v5): 2019
Red w/ blue stripe (v6): 2021
Current (v7): 2023

I know. It's hard to keep up with the refresh cycles.
