This fast, spin-friendly weapon gets a seriously cool makeover for 2026.
Introducing the 2026 VCORE 100L! With this racquet, Yonex delivers spin-focused precision, high comfort, and controllable power to developing intermediate players. As with the other models in the VCORE family, the isometric head shape has been modified to further enlarge the contact zone at 10 and 2 o’clock. The result is increased spin and easier power generation. On court, this translates into heavier, more penetrating shots.
With a swingweight under 315, the 2026 VCORE 100L cuts through contact with impressive speed, making it easier to generate spin and hit effective shots on the run. That fast feel is also a big advantage at the net, where the racquet responds quickly under pressure.
For 2026, Yonex has redesigned the frame with a faster, more aerodynamic shape, while reinforcing key areas for added stability and power. Additional updates include widened grommet holes for greater string movement and improved snapback, as well as an extended inner groove at the tip for enhanced flexibility and feel.
As with the previous generation, a thin, elastic film (Servo Filter) is integrated into the layers of 2G-NAMD FlexForce Graphite, allowing optimal flex while absorbing unwanted vibrations. The racquet also features Vibration Dampening Mesh built into the handle to further improve comfort.
In the end, the 2026 VCORE 100L is a solid update with several nice improvements to the frame and overall response. Intermediate to advanced players looking for a fast, spin-friendly weapon should definitely give this racquet a close look. The plush feel is an added bonus.
