Vcore 95 Setups

RF2017

Rookie
Curious to know how other people have set up their vcore 95 in terms of customization and string setups.

My current vcore is (unstrung) 330 g, 31.2 cm, 300 SW, and 14 TW. Strung currently with Restring Sync 1.25 at 23/22 kg
 
My set up is as follows:
  • Run multiple matched frames with unstrung measurements of 310g / 30.9cm / 293sw.
  • Lead 6 grams total at 2, 10, & 12.
  • 1 overgrip - blue Head Prime Tour.
  • Tourna O damper.
  • Testing out different multifilament strings. So far I like X-1 Biphase strung at 50lbs. **
** I run multifilament strings due to arm issues. I've started playing (again) this past July after a 25yr hiatus and, suffice to say, the biggest difference I noticed since coming back are polyester strings. I just don't get it. They are stiff and hurt the arm. I've never had any arm issues and didn't even know what tennis elbow was until I started playing with polyester. Granted I go through multifilament strings frequently, but that seems to be a small price to pay to continue playing.
 
For mine, I had them initially matched at the shop (310 g / 30.8 cm / 283 sw) and have since then done the following:
- 6 g at 12g
- Yonex Leather Grip
- Yonex Super Grap OG
- No dampener (I find its already dampened enough with VDM)

I've used a number of strings but my favourite so far is Solinco Confidential 1.25 @ 48 lb (but currently toying with going up to 1.30 and dropping the tension slightly). I would highly recommend a crisp string otherwise I find the stringbed too muted (again due to VDM).

One thing to flag that I've found is that the racket responds really well to weight. That said, I found when putting weight in a depolarised orientation (3 & 9) it made the racket swing notably slower and feel 'clubby' - as such I stuck with a depolarised setup; YMMV.
 
So far just a leather grip. Anyone just play doubles, I’m surprised how powerful and this is one of the better serving sticks I’ve used
 
TW Leather grip 2/3 the way up, exposed pallet above. Lead from 11 to 1 puts the SW around. 330. Most recently strung alu power 1.25 @ 46
