Release date for 2026 Yonex Vcore racquets?

[The Wall]

Does anyone know when the 2026 Yonex Vcore racquets will be released? And specifically the Vcore 100L? Since the last release was 2023, I would think there will be a 2026 release.

Some say around AO 2026 time.
There is a huge thread about it.

Global launch 3rd week of January. This will include the 100, 98, 95, & 100L (98L Asia market only). The 100+, 98+, 98 tour, and surprise new addition to the series are set to drop in March..

Hope the 98l comes to global Market at some point. Couldn't gel with the current one but the 285g with 32.5cm balance did attract me for using it as a cool Plattform stick.

Not slated for U.S. market at this time.

Should release sometime in March.

I have heard from multiple informed folks that demos will go out to reviewers and trusted vendors in early Dec.

I gotta believe that AO is the target release unless production issues push it a little later.

There was a post on Yonex's jp instagram page about that I think

Mid/late January for the 100, 100L, 98, & 95. March for the tour, +’s, and new 100D..

Hopefully they'll come out in time for the AO 2026.
I think that's when the last set of Ezones came out? Or maybe the pros just had the new paintjobs and consumer racquets showed up later?

They're making another version of the 95? Interesting.

Some vendors have already received samples, I've seen the new 100 in person - really like the ruby red paint scheme.

How come TW doesn't have the 95 listed?
Somewhere else people said the 95 was coming out with the 100D in March.

Haven't heard but that makes sense. One video I saw said Yonex is really behind on production and is over capacity. That's why they stopped making gen 7 racquets pretty early in 2025. Assume all the production will lead with popular models.

Jan = 98, 100, 100L
