Experience absolute placement precision, surgical control, and an ultra-connected, classic thin-beam feel.
The 1st-Generation Yonex VCORE Pro 97 (310g) (launched globally in 2018) is a tournament-grade performance racket engineered strictly for hard-hitting advanced players and aggressive intermediates. Famously dressed in a beautiful deep navy-blue frame accented by sharp neon orange and cherry-red decals, this model focused purely on traditional control before the franchise eventually evolved into the modern Percept line. Built with an ultra-thin 20mm straight box beam and a surgical 97-square-inch hoop, it offers virtually zero built-in power assistance. Instead, it acts as a direct extension of your arm, rewarding players who can generate their own heavy head speed with pinpoint ball pocketing, rock-solid stability, and flawless line-painting accuracy.
Key Features
  • Classic Control Architecture: Features a laser-precise 97 sq in head and a flat 20mm box beam designed entirely to eliminate frame twisting and maximize ball control.
  • Namd Carbon Technology: High-end Japanese graphite integrated through the throat that maintains flexibility during high-velocity strokes, resulting in deep, driving plow-through.
  • Open 16x19 String Configuration: Features one less cross string than its Duel G predecessor to naturally elevate the launch angle, giving advanced hitters easier access to heavy baseline topspin.
  • ISOMETRIC Frame Layout: Yonex's signature square hoop geometry expands the active sweet spot by 7%, making this surgical mid-plus head size remarkably stable and forgiving on fast swings.
  • Lock Booster Grommets: An engineered eyelet layout that pinches the strings tightly against the ball at contact, enhancing energy transfer and spin snapback.
