Yoshi still uses Babolat VS natural gut in the mains.
During Australian Open, he was trying out a silver poly string for his crosses, most likely Luxilon Alu power
Recently he won the Columbus Challenger and was using Yonex Poly Tour Pro in the Crosses
I think its a good move for him to try out new polys. His regular setup was VS in mains with Yonex poly tour spin in the crosses (Blue-5 sided Poly)
Interesting to see him switch from a shaped poly to a smooth round poly. I'm guessing he wanted more consistency and to be able to flatten out the balls a little easier. Spin is def not an issue for him.
He had a great win with his new string setup against Jenson Brooksby

Anyone know if Nishioka is still using the Yonex Vcore 98? He got a new paint job that’s all black. It appears to be be a Vcore but I’m curious why the new paint job.

Looking at the throat, it's probably the next iteration of the score. The throat is different from the 2021 vcore
23/22 kg with natural gut is crazy...balls would be flying a bitHere is a picture from the current auction.

48 lbs is the minimum recommended tension from babolat on the package.
i am pretty sure there are players that go even lower.

Wouldn't 51lbs be the tension of the gut since that's the string on the mains?

i was referring to babolat's recommended minimum. it is on the packaging of the strings.

So is Yoshi using 2023 vcore 98?? I am pretty sure Tommy Paul is using 2023 vcore 98..
They both use 2023 Vcore 98 mold currently, but Yoshi's 98 has a different drill pattern, a much tighter 16x19 coparing to retail.

Thanks! I've been using the new vcore 98 and it's a great racket so far..
