For many players, that translates into quicker preparation, faster changes of direction and less effort when reacting to pace at the net or from the baseline. It is the sort of weight that can suit players who value manoeuvrability and want a racket that feels lively in the hand.<\/p>\n<h3>What the unstrung frame means<\/h3>\n<p>This racket is supplied unstrung, so the final feel will depend on the string and tension you choose. That is useful if you already know the response you like, or if you want to build the racket around your own game rather than accept a pre-set setup. The frame gives you the starting point; the string choice lets you fine-tune comfort, control and feel.<\/p>\n<h3>Who it suits<\/h3>\n<p>The Vcore Si 98 is most relevant for players who prefer a lighter racket and want easy handling without giving up the feel of a serious performance frame. It may appeal to improving club players, juniors moving into an adult frame, or more experienced players who want quicker swing speed and simpler manoeuvrability. The G3 and G4 grip size options make it easier to find a comfortable hold, while the Japanese manufacture will appeal to shoppers who pay attention to build origin.<\/p>\n<h3>Specifications<\/h3>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Brand<\/th>\n<td>Yonex<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Model<\/th>\n<td>Vcore Si 98<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Sport<\/th>\n<td>Tennis<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Weight<\/th>\n<td>285 g<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Grip sizes<\/th>\n<td>G3, G4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Frame type<\/th>\n<td>Unstrung<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Made in<\/th>\n<td>Japan<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Yonex Vcore Si 98 is a tennis racket for players who want a lighter frame that is easier to move quickly through the swing.
