Yonex VCORE Pro 100 rests on the stringing machine, its matte green frame cool to the touch while the sharp edges of the isometric head catch the fluorescent shop light. Stringer Luis Pérez runs his fingers over the 16x19 pattern, nodding at the tight spacing in the sweet spot.
Control frame in the Yonex lineup
The VCORE Pro 100 sits in Yonex's performance tennis racquet portfolio as a 300-gram, 100-square-inch control frame aimed at intermediate to advanced players who want feel without excessive stiffness. According to the official Yonex tennis racquets page, the model is part of the current VCORE Pro family with a 100-inch head size and 16x19 string pattern. Yonex racquets overview
Yonex specifies a 300-gram unstrung weight for the VCORE Pro 100, placing it between lighter 280-gram frames and heavier 310-gram tour models in the same family. This mid-weight approach keeps the racquet maneuverable at net while providing enough mass for stable contact on flatter groundstrokes. Yonex VCORE Pro product page
Design details players notice
Product manager K?ji Tanaka describes the VCORE Pro 100 as the "balanced head" of the line, combining the brand's signature Isometric head shape with a more flexible shaft to preserve dwell time on the strings. The isometric geometry slightly squares the hoop, enlarging the effective sweet spot compared to a conventional oval design.
The frame uses Yonex's graphite layup with added flexibility in the throat area, a design intended to provide directional control and arm comfort. Specialist review site Tennis Warehouse notes that the racquet offers a softer impact feel than many 100-square-inch competitors with similar weight, which can appeal to players prone to elbow strain.

Yonex Co. Ltd. under the hood
Background on Yonex Co. Ltd. as a racquet maker, plus how tennis equipment contributes to group revenue.
Specs that matter on court
On paper, the Yonex VCORE Pro 100 offers a 100-square-inch head, 300-gram unstrung weight, and a standard 27-inch length, with a recommended string tension range typically between 45 and 60 pounds depending on string type. Retail listings in Europe show a beam thickness around 23 millimeters, contributing to the racquet's moderate power level. European VCORE Pro 100 specs
Advanced club player Anna Müller, testing the racquet on a slow clay court, reports a muted sound at impact and a stable feel on backhand slices. She notes that the balance point, roughly even to slightly head-light in most retail configurations, makes quick grip changes on returns manageable without feeling sluggish.
Positioning versus other Yonex frames
Within Yonex's broader tennis lineup, the VCORE Pro series sits alongside the more spin-oriented VCORE range and the control-focused Percept family. While the Percept line pushes toward maximum feel and precision, the VCORE Pro 100 aims to bridge feel and forgiveness for players who do not want a harsh response on mishits. Yonex Percept series
In practice, that means the VCORE Pro 100 competes not only with Yonex's own Percept 100 but also with control frames from rivals such as the Wilson Pro Staff and Head Gravity series. Specialist comparison articles frequently highlight the Yonex frame's slightly larger sweet spot thanks to its isometric head design, which can reduce the penalty on off-center contact.

Pricing and availability
In key markets such as Europe and Japan, the Yonex VCORE Pro 100 typically sells at an MSRP around 260 to 280 euros for the 300-gram version, with minor variance depending on retailer campaigns. Major online tennis retailers list the racquet as available in multiple grip sizes, usually from L1 to L4, targeting a broad slice of competitive club players. Retail price and grip options
Yonex's own global website lists the VCORE Pro 100 in its current racquet catalog, signaling ongoing production rather than a legacy or closeout model. For German consumers, availability through specialist tennis retailers and online platforms remains solid, though specific colorways and grip sizes can fluctuate with seasonal inventory cycles.
