Racket specs
Head size 100 sq in
The hitting-surface area. Larger heads usually add forgiveness and easy power; smaller heads usually favor precision and a more compact response.
At 100 sq in, the Yonex VCORE 100 8th Gen uses the versatile modern midpoint between forgiveness, power, and directional control.
Unstrung weight 300 g / 10.6 oz
The frame weight before strings, overgrip, or dampener are added. More mass can improve stability and plow-through, while less mass is generally easier to accelerate.
This 300 g / 10.6 oz measurement means the Yonex VCORE 100 8th Gen sits in a manageable performance range with useful stability and acceleration.
Length 27 in
The end-to-end racket length. Standard adult frames are 27 inches; extra length can add reach and serve leverage but can reduce maneuverability.
At 27 in, this is a standard-length adult frame, preserving familiar reach and maneuverability.
Balance 320 mm unstrung
Where the racket mass is centered. A more head-light balance is easier to maneuver, while more mass toward the head can add stability and power.
The 320 mm unstrung balance keeps this frame maneuverable for its weight while leaving useful mass through contact.
Beam 24 / 26 / 23 mm
The frame thickness, sometimes measured at several points. Wider beams tend to return more energy; thinner beams commonly provide more flex and direct ball feedback.
The 24 / 26 / 23 mm beam is widest through the power zone, adding response while tapering elsewhere for feel and handling.
String pattern 16x19
The number of main and cross strings. More open patterns usually help launch and spin, while denser patterns often improve directional control and string life.
The 16x19 pattern balances accessible spin and depth with familiar all-court predictability in the Yonex VCORE 100 8th Gen.
Construction 2G-Namd Speed / VDM / silicone-oil-infused grommets
The frame layup, geometry, and named structural technologies. Together they tune flex, stability, response, and vibration feel.
2G-Namd Speed / VDM / silicone-oil-infused grommets is the listed construction package for this generation, used to tune the Yonex VCORE 100 8th Gen response, stability, and vibration feel.
Stringing advice 45-60 lbs
The manufacturer-supported tension range. Lower tension generally adds depth and pocketing; higher tension generally produces a firmer, lower-launch response.
The 45-60 lbs range gives this frame room for a softer, deeper response at the low end or a firmer, lower-launch bed at the high end.
Specs verified against Yonex's official 8th-generation VCORE 100 product page and VCORE series data.
String recommendations
The 8th-gen VCORE 100 is powerful and high-launching, so begin with a controlled 1.25 mm string around 50 lbs and tune by 2 lbs. Softer poly or multi is preferable to high tension. Full poly belongs with players who create their own speed and restring it when snapback fades.
Starting points are editorial guidance, not a medical guarantee. Technique, ball, court, climate, and restringing frequency all change the result.
Yonex PolyTour Pro
Best for: Intermediate topspin players
The round soft poly supplies a calmer launch and predictable response while the VCORE geometry creates the spin window.
Watch for: PolyTour Pro can feel muted and still needs timely replacement.
Yonex Rexis Speed
Best for: Developing and comfort-first players
The controlled multi lets the frame provide spin and power without requiring a firm polyester bed.
Watch for: Frequent string breakers may need a hybrid after establishing a comfortable baseline.
Yonex PolyTour Rev
Best for: Fast-swinging baseliners
The shaped Yonex poly adds bite and definition, while lower tension avoids making the high-powered frame needlessly harsh.
Watch for: Replace full poly when control or comfort changes rather than waiting for breakage.
