For the VCORE 98 8th Gen, Yonex widens the tip of the hoop, leaning more into its signature Isometric head shape. The beam geometry has also been changed in the midsection and throat, with both areas getting slightly thicker and shifting to a flatter, more streamlined construction. Additionally, the grommets are slightly widened to facilitate more string movement and snapback. Otherwise, the specs remain mostly the same, with a 16x19 string pattern, a strung balance of 6 points head light and an average strung swingweight of 321.
