Question : Vcore 98 and gravity tour 98, how do they compare ?

I just switched from the head gravity pro 2023 to the yonex vcore 98 7th gen because I wanted a more forgiving racquet. But, with the upcoming release of this gravity tour 98, my timing couldn’t have been worse. It looks like the racquet I have been looking for a few months now. I still love my vcore 98, but I’m wondering how these two frames compare ?

Not being awkward or anything so this answer is with respect, but at this stage, as the Grav98 hasn't been released it'll be very difficult for most here on the TW forums to answer that. You might get the odd person who has luckily managed to get their hands on one . . . .
I'm a current gen Grav Tour user and I plan to get a 98 when released regardless. It's specs just seem to sit right with me and I find the 100 just a little bit too big, too wide, makes it unstable particularly on volleys for me.
Good luck though, srsly.

I’ve had a good chunk of time with both and a bunch of stuff in between. Recently came back to VCore after a few frames I really liked didn’t give me the slice action I liked.

I think the VCore 98 with a tiny bit of lead in the hoop and similar offset under the buttcap is a near perfect racket. It’s also fine if you don’t like a bit heavier stick like me.

Gravity tour is a frame that that needs racket head speed on every shot to play well. The VCORE 98 is more versatile from the perspective of not needing full racket head speed to generate a good ball and I like it better at net.

VCore’s slice is 2nd to none IMO and even though it’s a more open 16x19, perhaps more than the gravity, I sprayed significantly less and hit smaller targets at noticeably higher rates.
