Thanks for the video. Really like the way you narrated your experience. I would really love to see such videos where the player is relating his experience without those head like power, spin which you talked about as part of your game not as seperate parts. Have been using a VCore Pro 290g. Craving for a bit more weight and plough through lately. So I have ordered the Vcore 310. But can totally relate to what you said. Low powered which I love. Best feeling racket I have played with. Best ball pocketing I have felt, though many more brands and racquets say they have the same (By that I mean I can literally feel the ball more in the strings, maybe they call it dwell time). As per my experience if tennis playing should be a joy then this racket gives you that. Can't agree enough for the point regarding the confidence this racket gives in going for angles and placing the ball where you want. But again it demands good footwork and maybe this is just me but I felt that this was the racket that made me play well. In simple terms I feel a lot of rackets out there mess up game advertising free power, lots of spin and such stuff but Vcore Pro really made me generate power from my legs and it translated into a much better satisfying tennis. One thing I want to add is that this racket is great if you have a one handed backhand. If someone does go for this racket, I would suggest you to play with it for atleast a month and then decide on a take on it as I felt the feel is different as compared to a lot of rackets out there, but once you get the hang of it, you will love it.
Solid thoughts, thanks for sharing! I know what you mean about this racket making you play better. I have purchased rackets before with the intent of it forcing something better from me and that was the RF 97 back some years ago. I embraced the weight as a challenge to clean up my takeback.
For me, the power loss was too much. I did everything to see that power back in my shot and when I gave it 100% of everything, I saw only 90%. So I knew that top end power was gone forever and whatever I could get back, if any, would be found even more on a racket that is inherently more powerful.
But I can't deny the angle control and comfort being one of the best I've ever felt and I miss that about it.
@@ZeroLoveTennis I guess you are right about a limit this racket can produce in matters of pace and power. I mean when I am in position I do like to really give it a go but this racket won't produce shots that go whizzying past the opponent but that is compensated by the accuracy that this stick gives for my game in terms of depth and angles. Maybe the 330g model has more power but I guess it requires a guy like Stan the man to weild.
I tried the D version (18x20) and it was a little noodly. I might prefer the H, to either. I think a VCP that were slightly stiffer might be a favorite of mine since I like so much about it otherwise. I definitely miss that effortless control I have towards the net but it felt ironic to have such good control there but not be able to contrast that with massive power from the baseline.
With my EZONE 98 I can really push people back and then suddenly drop a ball. I am limited on how much I can push back on the VCP but can more easily hit a great drop shot. Tough compromise to make but I'd choose the EZ98 every time if that's the tradeoff. Still feels great but the VCP feels the best.
Quality 👍 I got two 97 Vcore pro rackets on offer at £112.50 strung in poly pro Rev 48lb what’s not to love ☝️
Solid deal!
I have 2 of these coming in today. I took out a demo for my gf. I tried it myself and loved it but I had rlly settled on my rf 97. 2 years later I’m getting to the point where I want the best thing on my arm since I developed chronic wrist issues as a kid due to overly wristy form. The rf was much better on my wrist than my previous blade that I played with on and off since I was a kid, the mass really helped. However, it’s not like my wrist is getting better with age unless I actively try to improve the conditions. Also I have a nice collection of RF 97s and as a FED fan I don’t wanna beat up those rackets since they are no longer in production. I want to add leather grip for added stability and try to attempt similar balance to the RF. I will have to play around with my string set up/tension since I do agree there could be more power on high end.
You might like the 100! It felt a little more stable and solid in that flexy way since it's a bit thicker beam.
I can be pretty wristy as well so I need that mass to get through the ball on contact or the stress can add up! I know what you mean.
The CX 200 Dunlop's might be worth checking out as well. String low, similar comfort but a different flex profile.
That's gotta be the best paintjob on the market tho!
Some disagree but I really like it!
I agree. The best I have seen.
you must have considered the 97d (320g, 18x20, more powerful), could you share your thoughts about it? I'm split between one (97) vs. the other (97d). Currently using a Ezone 98 2022 with 340g strung (stock config. + leather grip)
Interesting that you're on an E-Zone thinking about the VCORE PRO. They are dramatically different but maybe you're looking for that?
They actually frustrate me and slightly different ways. I want to do a video on it to elaborate more but long story short, the 18x20 flexes too much in the directions that I'm actually trying to brush the ball in a heavy topspin shot. I feel like the head of the racket lags behind the ball on hard contact but mostly only when brushing up heavily on a ball I'm really ripping to put away. As if the flex kind of gets the racket stuck in that position and also loses out on quite a bit of spin.
I'm learning more that my preferences seem to lean on a control style string pattern on a spin friendly frame.
The VCORE Pro 97 doesn't quite flex in the same way but it still doesn't waste that bother me on balls I really try to put away. There's a certain amount of power that just seems forever gone with that racket. Maybe less so with the dense version but that laggy noodle feeling also bothers me.
Try the yonex poly pro rev string with 23 kg on this stick. Best combo out there!!
Looking forward to testing that string sometime. Spin G as well but I hear mixed stuff on that one
I second this. I strung the Rev at 22kg for my Vcore Pro and the orange colour really makes the blue-green frame pop. It starts out a bit pingy, but the strings will settle a few hours in and the feeling is so plush and controlled. I even prefer it to the previously-strung Hyper G.
More plush, more controle due to a bit more bite and a nice plus on power.
It's a wonderful feeling!
Would you recommend it for an intermediate? i have been using a Pure Strike 16x19.
Yes. It's a solid one for any level above beginner but maybe even that if they are determined.
It's just a matter of what you want from the racket, this may or may not be that for you and for me, it wasn't.
If like me you are a player who plays as a hobby, I would recommend you to try Vcore Pro. Much softer on the arm. Much more precise. But if you are playing competitively and want a powerful racket, pure strike is a good option. I found pure strike to be less maneuverable but if that racket makes proper contact it delivers as the name suggests.
@@harshpathania107 Thanks for the reply. Yes i play as a hobby.
Generating power isnt really my problem. I'm quite a big guy 100kg and 180 tall. Which is why i'm interested in this racket. Might as well get something with loads of control if power generation is not a problem is my reasoning.
But i have a question on tennis elbow.: They say that this VCP is very comfortable but if it has very low power. Would you not need to over work your arm to get the same result which might result in injury anyway?
@@christiansantfournier2794 I play as a hobby but I have to admit that I am addicted to buying new rackets. I am guilty of buying a lot of rackets and having to sell them back. So, if you can generate power easily and want control, this is the racket I would suggest. As for the elbow or arm issues this racket is simply too good. The feel flex or some such termed technology is there in this racket that really gives you a plush feel but not disconnected like ezone. You still feel very much connected. This is the best I have tried for arm issues. May I also suggest a video by TENNISGUY whose reviews I felt were quite honest unlike some who always praise all the rackets. So this guy makes comprehensive videos on best rackets of the year and he did for the Vcore Pro as best racket for 2021. I felt his reviews about this racket were to the point.
@@harshpathania107 That's great. Thanks for the feedback.
Yes i have wattched the video of TennisGuy.
He is a funny guy.
It sounds like the Vcore Pro is the racket i'm looking for.
Have you hit the Vcore pro 100? How does it compare to the Ezone 100?
Sorry I don't think I've hit either either, to be honest.
How would you compare it to the Yonex Vcore 95 2023? Thanks!
It feels much softer but it's maybe the next most similar in feel and flex otherwise after the VCORE pro series.
You can get more total power but it's arguably more hard to access power overall. But I run out of power with the VCORE pros. All of them.
@@ZeroLoveTennis Even if you add lead tape in the hoop? Like 2-3g at 12?
It helps but the racket is still just that flexy. It's why the D or HD models still feel this way so much despite being much heavier. I actually found the 100 to probably feel the least this way and I imagine it's the thicker beam.
The Vcore Pros will never be as powerful as the regular red Vcores, the harder you hit with the Pros, the lesser power you transfer to the ball as the lower flex of the Racket just absorbs the extra power. The regular Vcores are stiffer in comparison and transfer power more directly to the ball. At least that's what I have experienced.
Oh yeah , that's true
@@ZeroLoveTennis
I switched to the Vcore SV 95 from the Pro 97 HD precisely for this reason.
But, like you I also feel that the 95 should be strung at a lower tension.
What tension do you recommend for the SV 95, and the 2018 version of the Vcore 95?
Never had time with an SV. You've gone back in time to get one of those! For the more recent VCORE 95, I'd go mid 40's and no thicker than 17g. I'd assume similar for the gen before.
@@ZeroLoveTennis
I have indeed, got myself a brand new one real cheap just last week from ebay. I love how crisp and brassy it feels at point of contact.
I wanna say wawrinka uses an sv of some kind but IDK for sure.
what about the 97D?
My whole thing was finding one I can extend and the 18x20 is much heavier and higher in swingweight making this not possible but I imagine I would feel about the same. The Vcore pro lineup is very soft but perhaps a litle more weight and swingweight could aid in power a bit.
What size grip are you using for the VCP 310?
In that video size 2 because I was playing with a handle extension that goes over the grip mold. So it felt like 3 after the install of the XTP cap.
Yonex pallets tend to be thicker anyway. With a Head racquet, I play with a 3, but had to size down for my Vcore Pro 97 sticks.
Pure Aero VS review ?
I think my new video touched on it. If not, the next one does for sure. Ended up not loving it actually.
What happened to Babolat Rafa Junior? Was excited to see that one ;)
I also just picked one of these up and totally agree about the power thing. I was swinging so hard and just didn’t feel the return on certain shots. Love looping spinny forehands out wide though with it. What’s the strings? I crossed hyper G 17 with T1 ghostwire and like it but I think it’s a little “mushy” now. Maybe full bed of something a little stiffer? Thanks!
Oh, I outgrew that one pretty quick.
I really like your take on the racquets. And fun to see something different.
How is the arm comfort of the racquet? If you compare it with a prokennex or a blade v7?
The Vcore Pro 97 310, both the 2019 version and the 2021 versions are the most comfortable racquets on the market today. They remind me of the old original Head Radicals from the 90s. What's weird is, and he points this out in the video, these racquets are incredibly powerful and precise. However, if you can’t generate your own pace, the rewards will be diminished. Good luck!
Thank you! Extremely arm comfortable. Some prokennex options might be a tad more arm friendly but I don't think in any meaningful way. Prokennex feels mushy and weak to me where this one feels much more connected to the ball and power overall is better. Still very arm friendly. One of the best arm friendly options for sure and I wouldn't say that for prokennex because it's just too mushy to be very good, I think.
More comfortable than a blade, I think. I haven't had a lot of time on one, though.
Been playing with a Blade 16x19 v8 lately. I would say as far as arm comfort is concerned Vcore is better. Blade definitely does not feel like 61 stiffness rating as is advertised. It's got a solid feel so to say but neither is it too harsh on the arm. If you logically kind of think about it, you have to feel the vibrations to feel the racket. That's the tagline the Blade is using. So it's logical that you will feel the vibrations to feel the racket so to say. However, Japanese guys have done something amazing with the Vcore Pro as per me. It's soft, not too plush yet connected.
What grip size are you using on this one?
Oh dang. It was either #2 or #3.
@@ZeroLoveTennis I tried the #3, but too big. Went to the #2. It’s more similar to 3/8 on other brands.
Yeah that is funny about Yonex. One of these days I might strip down a racket down to the handle and measure each side to see where it's different. Because I swear it is
@@ZeroLoveTennis yep. I’d watch that video. You hear that comment really often.
I have a good idea for it. Can measure for difference in tolerance too for grip size consistency lol
What about angel cyan xl?
Or Pro Kennex Ki Q+5X Pro ? It's a 16*20
Tried it and tried to like that but it felt too mushy and the downsides for it were similar but more extreme and it didn't have the benefits like this one did. I'd choose V-Core Pro over that any day.
Not sure. After my tc97 by Angell, I'm not sure when I'll be trying their rackets again.
I'll be making a video about Angell here pretty soon. If I were to try another, it probably would be that other extended option which I think was the cyan, right?
Try the new Vcore Pro 99 315g
99? That's a thing?
