Defined by its extended length and 98 square inch head, this racquet gives experienced players \u003cstrong\u003ea dangerous combination of power and precision.\u003c\/strong\u003e The power comes partly from its 27.5\" length, which translates into heavier balls from the baseline and \u003cstrong\u003eimpressive pop on serves\u003c\/strong\u003e. The 98+ also packs a beefier swingweight than its standard length counterparts, making it more challenging to swing but giving it a more stable feel against big hitters. Factor in the sub-64RA stiffness and forgiving ISOMETRIC head shape, and you get a very plush and arm-friendly ride. For 2026, Yonex redesigns the beam, giving it a faster, more aerodynamic shape while also thickening it in key locations for added \u003cstrong\u003estability and power\u003c\/strong\u003e. Additional 2026 updates include widening the grommet holes for increased string movement and greater snapback, as well as lengthening the inner trench at the tip for added flex and pocketing. As with the previous generation, this racquet integrates a thin, elastic film (Servo Filter) within the layers of 2 NAMD FlexForce Graphite, allowing the racquet to flex optimally while also absorbing unwanted vibrations. Ultimately, with incremental changes to the beam and response, the VCORE 98+ continues to be a very solid option for aggressive players looking to turn up the heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product_info-read_more fixed-width\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"check_read-inner\"\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"0\" width=\"150\" cellpadding=\"2\" cellspacing=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"SpecsLt\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 98 in² \/ 632.26 cm²\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"SpecsDk\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 27.5in \/ 69.85cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"SpecsLt\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrung Weight: \u003c\/strong\u003e11.4oz \/ 323g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"SpecsDk\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBalance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.18in \/ 33.48cm \/ 5 pts HL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"SpecsLt\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSwingweight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 335\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"SpecsDk\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStiffness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 63\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"SpecsLt\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBeam Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 23mm \/ 23.5mm \/ 22mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"SpecsDk\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2G-Namd FlexForce\/H.M.
