the vcore 98 is a good all-around racket, but it's not anything special. it has a some pop and spin, serves great, and has decent control. i think a lot of people here have tried it and just moved on fairly quickly.I'm seeing a lot of reviews of the Vcore 98+ and the Vcore 95 but i'm not reading much of reviews about the Vcore 98.
Why is that?
I just bought one without demoing it cause of covid, so I hope I did not make a mistake.
Very interesting, I had no clue.the vcore 98 is a good all-around racket, but it's not anything special. it has a some pop and spin, serves great, and has decent control. i think a lot of people here have tried it and just moved on fairly quickly.
if the DR98 is anything like the AI98 (which i think it is?), it's a very different stick. the vcore 98 is more crisp in feel, has a higher launch angle, and isn't quite as solid in stock form.Very interesting, I had no clue.
Considering I play with the DR98 I hope I don't get too much disappointed.
Thanks snoflewis.if the DR98 is anything like the AI98 (which i think it is?), it's a very different stick. the vcore 98 is more crisp in feel, has a higher launch angle, and isn't quite as solid in stock form.
i lost you....are you nowplaying with the Vcore 98 + black version or the black one was a regular 98?I had an extended demo with the 2018 98 Red version. Added a leather grip and 2 grams of lead at 12 o'clock, strung with Poly Tour Pro (yellow) 17g at 48 lbs. This thing was a beast!! Bought a Galaxy black version and since have fallen for other racquets, but could have stuck with the Vcore and improved my game with it if I wasn't holic'ing so hard. It's like a more controlled, less powerful version of a Babolat Pure Aero without the stiffness. More feel than the Pure Aero for sure. Plush if strung low with poly, but with a modern feel

Galaxy Black was not offered in a +. If it was, I would have bought 6.i lost you....are you nowplaying with the Vcore 98 + black version or the black one was a regular 98?

That is a good question. Obviously it's coming down from Yonex, as almost all products in the US are price controlled by the manufacturer (aka MAP or Minimum Advertised Pricing). If you look at the UK/EU sites (where MAP is illegal), they've already come down in price, and I'd bet the US retailers would love to be able to advertise them cheaper (they don't want to be stuck w/ old stock).I wonder why the old Vcores have not been discounted yet through any of the online retailers? My local store has steep discounts on them trying to clear out their inventory, but unfortunately don’t have my grip size.
they've been at close to half price overseas for at least 6 months now. It's just a matter of being able to locate inventory at this point.That is a good question.

My best guess is they're (Yonex) waiting for either the tour to restart, or the Aussie Open to start, so they can showcase the new frames.
Also, remember the 'A' in 'MAP' stands for 'Advertised'. This doesn't mean you can't call TW and ask for a discount...
