  1. Hi coach !
    Which of the two do you prefer, the Ezone 98 or the Vcore 98?
    I'm a weak player, 3.5 and I don't think having tried the Vcore 98 L it won't be easy to point me in the right direction.
    However Meike based on your enormous experience after having tried both, and I am not talking about the lighter ones, but about making the transition to L because in principle the specifications of both continued to show certain trends, what do you think it would be easier to play.
    I'm talking, for example, about swing weight and handling, or the balance of both.
    If you "had" to respond and appeal to your sensibilities and goodwill, what would you say would make it easier for me to play?
    The two rackets are very beautiful but the Vcore has the color of my club Benfica also known as Glorioso.
    It's a giant in number of fans but it doesn't have the financial robustness of Bayern München who whenever they face us mercilessly dispatches us with 3 or 4 goals.
    Jokes aside, Vcore 98 L or Ezone 98 L?
    Please Meike, I promise not to bother you with rackets again.
    Thank you very much

  2. Dann mach doch bitte einmal einen Vergleich deiner 3 Schläger 😉

  3. Hi Meike, I’ve had my eye on the new Vcore 98, but haven’t tried it yet.. also, not sure if the Ezone is better for my game. I’m a 4.0 senior all-court singles player. One-handed backhand, SW forehand… can hit spin with the FH, but lots of flat. BH is mostly flat with slice. And I play with a lot of touch: Love to drop when the occasion is favorable.. Would the VCore 98 fit my game? Presently hitting with Shift 300 and Blade 100 V8… Also, what string and tension do you use??? Danke, John

  4. Excellent review! racquet looks really nice! If I just saw you hitting and didn't know who you were, I would say to myself "Wow she must have been a WTA Pro!" clean hitting Coach! awesome 👍💯👏🎾

  5. Well it's very interesting to see Yonex has a racquet that can add spin without any other real compromises in terms of control, feel or power. I play with a control oriented racquet currently but as I am now getting more comfortable generating topspin for groundstrokes and angles I can see the real benefit of having a racquet that facilitates that. If you find it working well at the net that is also very reassuring.

    The only question – could we have a review of the Vcore 95. That seems interesting for maybe being a little faster through the air which may help my serve even though it maybe a little less forgiving otherwise.

    Hope we can see that sometime…

  6. Interesting to see you stroke a few because you hit in a very similar way to me! Fascinating 👍

  7. Not a fan of the paintjob, doesn't seem much of a change from the 98D that first came out in 2011 and I still use 😉

  8. Do you think 305 grams is too heavy for a mid-range 4.0 rec player? Thinking of demo-ing this racket. Thanks Meike!

  9. would you think this is closer to babolat strike or aero? would you prefer this over ezone? great videos
