The Yonex VCORE 98 Tour is the 315-gram model in the VCORE 2026 range. The frame holds stable from the baseline and at the net, staying planted under pace and solid on volleys, and several reviewers rated it the most stable frame in the range. It generates accessible power on groundstrokes, with weight behind the ball that lets players drive through forehands, and a modest increase over the previous generation. Spin is plentiful from the baseline, with players whipping through contact to generate topspin. Volley placement holds up even against hard incoming balls. Maneuverability divides reviewers: some found the frame heavy and slow to whip through the swing, while others found it more nimble than its static weight suggests.
