could you guys compare it to the 2023 vcore 95 if you get a chance?

[@testtestph]

Noice, does it somehow feel like a ez98 with less pop but feel and less mushiness?

[@jabirout]

Seems like a switch to me 😁😁😁
I still prefer the teal one (2019, green), softer, more spin, better feel.

Did anyone notice how much efforts and energy for him strike the balls. Lots of racket speed to do that. I tested. Don’t hope to high or expect anything improve. Much over rated. Looking forward for some others replies who did the demo.

Yes

Would not buy. The vcore pro line was disapointing to me. The new vcore 95 I own, is better.

The VCP/Percept 97 (especially the 97D) string bed is way more consistent top-to-bottom, left-to-right across the face than the VCore 95. That alone makes it the better buy, 100%
