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. **

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.

Yonex Vcore 95 2023
Customization
4g at 12
6g at 9 and 3
Tourna O dampener
5gr Yonex supergrap overgrip
Total weight strung: 340gr
Strings
Solinco Tour Bite 1.20 52/50lbs
How this setup plays in my opinion
Strong points
1st serve - Best serve compared to my other rackets. Good power and control.
Super easy spin
Easy to manoeuvre
OHBH - Almost as good as with my ProStaff 97 v14
Weakness
Racket head size unforgiving if I am tired or not at my best.
Could do with a bit more 'free' power - Will try it with a less stiff poly or a poly/multi hybrid. Used to play it with PTP but forgot how it plays lol.
May benefit from a lower launch angle for less spin and more penetrating ball. Will try to achieve this by changing to a round poly and stiffer crosses.

I've used Kbaum Evolution 1.25 in my 2021 Vcore95 with some great success. Really solid round string that also matches the frame well. Another good option in this frame is Solinco Outlast. I played PTP in it for a bit and could hit unbelievable winners but wasn't quite as consistent as i wanted it to be
My setup is 346g finished, 7pts HL
Lead at 9/3 and weight in the handle
