The 285 g unstrung weight makes the racket easier to accelerate and position, which can help in fast exchanges, late contact situations and when you want to react quickly at net or from the baseline. For many players, that lighter feel also makes the racket less demanding over a long session.<\/p>\n<h3>What the 98 sq in head means<\/h3>\n<p>A 98 sq in head is a more controlled, compact format than a larger oversize frame. In practical terms, it gives you a more precise hitting area and tends to suit players who are comfortable taking a full swing and directing the ball themselves. It is not a beginner-only racket, but the lighter 285 g weight can make this shape more approachable for improving players who want a performance frame that is easier to handle.<\/p>\n<h3>Who it suits<\/h3>\n<p>This model makes sense for players who value manoeuvrability, quicker preparation and a more compact head size. If you like to generate your own pace, play an all-court game, or simply want a tennis racket that feels easier to whip through contact than a heavier player frame, the VCORE SV 98 285 g is worth a close look. It is also a sensible direction for juniors stepping into adult frames or adults who prefer a lighter setup for easier swing speed.<\/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 SV 98<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Product type<\/th>\n<td>Tennis racket<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Weight<\/th>\n<td>285 g<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Head size<\/th>\n<td>98 sq in<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Category<\/th>\n<td>Tennis, Tennis Rackets<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Yonex VCORE SV 98 285 g is a tennis racket built for players who want the VCORE frame feel in a lighter setup.
