The Yonex VCORE 100 has obviously a 100in² frame and thanks to the isometric shape of Yonex racquets, you get a forgiving sweet spot. This allows you to hit consistently with fewer errors.

In addition, the 16×19-string pattern combined with an average Swingweight of 324 provides easy access to spin while staying comfortable on the arms.

The VCORE 100 is also a power racquet that helps you generate lots of pace thanks to the thicker beam and the aerodynamic design.

In fact, lots of female pros such as Bouchard, Kerber, and Rybakina like this racquet for the easy power and spin they can get.

Caroline strings her racquet with a hybrid setup of:

Yonex Polytour Strike 1.25
