I had a Vcore 98 23’ and could never gel with it - perhaps due to how high the isometric head pushes the sweet spot up on the string bed. I purchased the Vcore as an alternative to the Ezone 98 and 100 I have - which I have no problems with middling the isomeric heads but they do cause arm issues unfortunately. I’ve later heard if you get into the Vcore range go for either the 95 or 100
Maybe I am a little too late to the party... But not having the Blade line in the top 5 is kinda strange. Because you can get everything that can possibly suit your play style. Hit straight, OHB? Get an 18/20. Allrounder? Regular 98 version. Spin? 98S is your racquet. Agassi / Williams style? 104 / SW edition. Beginner to intermediate? 100L Customizable as well, I had an 18/20 V7 beefed up to 347g, was a nuclear weapon (although too heavy for my arm).
Can not agree more with the vcore, I tested 15 rackets in 2023 and ended up with both vcore 98/100 as they were both so good that I couldn't pick one over the other. A little bias there though as I have the previous versions of vcores but 2023 is the most refined and user friendly version of them all. Pure aero 100 wasn't too bead either but vcore is more stable and has better control... Seriously considering buying the vc95 too at some point...
Not a bad option! May be a bit on the light side, depends how strong you are to be honest! It’s a top quality Graphene frame though so you can’t go too wrong!!
I was aware of the lightness since I'm not very technical I was prioritizing maneuverability. Nonetheless, there is some sticky bands that I can put around the outer frame to put it heavier correct?
@@Tiagocouto12 Usually, light racket have stiffer frame ( > 70 ). The heavy racket have soft frame ( < 70 ) That was make a different feeling. So... you can easily make the light racket become heavy racket.... but the result will not same characteristic with the originally heavy racket. Just my opinion.
That's actually strange. I find the gravity MP to be the best one from the line. It has open string pattern so more spin potential and it feels plusher than the tour. I got mine weighed upto 320 swing weight and it's incredible.
Pretty sure the Aero wasn’t new this year… maybe watch best rackets of 2022… And before you say the 98 was, the review is for ranges of rackets not specific models…
@@ondybandung6096 The red prince beast with a removable shock absorber , which also acts as lower grommeting , has been in japan for a while . I also just saw on a Japanese Windsor sports video the new 98 and 100 . One of them is white and the other a pastel color . But they also showed a black one that in japan came out in 2023 .
