Yonex VCORE α 08 2026 Tennis Racket Strung 275g - Ruby Red

The Yonex VCORE α (Alpha) is the most accessible tennis racket in the VCORE family – a performance frame for improving intermediates, athletic beginners and developing juniors who want modern spin and height without the weight or stiffness of tour frames. Supplied strung in Ruby Red.

Key Features

• Sweet Spot – an enlarged sweet spot from the extended upper hoop and refined internal taper, giving more forgiveness on off-centre hits, easier height and net clearance, and better ball pocketing at slower swing speeds.
• Snapback – Yonex's horizontal grommet system lets the strings move more freely, producing natural topspin even with compact or developing swings, for easier rally control, more shape on forehands and backhands, and deeper shots with less effort.
• Speed – an aerodynamic frame that accelerates quickly even when timing or technique isn't perfect.
• Stability – a softer structural profile than the pro-level VCORE models, with Servo Filter, VDM and layered graphite for comfort, stable feedback and reduced vibration.
• 100 sq in head and 16×19 pattern – easy depth, high-arching spin trajectories and a smooth feel.

Performance Overview

Supported by Yonex's 4S Spin Engine – Sweet Spot, Snapback, Speed, Stability – the VCORE α brings real Yonex technology into a more user-friendly frame.
