Yonex VCORE
Spin, acceleration and controlled power for producing a heavier ball at different swing speeds.
View familyCompare the four Yonex racquet families: VCORE for spin, EZONE for power and comfort, PERCEPT for precision and feel, and MUSE for smooth, accessible handling.
Four playing identities to find the right balance of power, spin, control, feel and comfort.
Spin, acceleration and controlled power for producing a heavier ball at different swing speeds.
Comfortable power, a generous sweet spot and balanced response for attacking with confidence.
Control, precision and flexible feel for players who want to shape trajectories and sense the ball clearly.
Smooth handling, comfort and accessible power for more natural and consistent rallies.
Explore the 2026 VCORE generation, available from 245 to 305 g for players seeking spin, racquet-head speed and stability on every shot.
Discover the 2025 EZONE range, with models from 245 to 305 g focused on power, comfort and a generous sweet spot for different levels.
Compare Yonex PERCEPT models from 280 to 320 g, designed around control, precision, stability and a more connected impact.
Meet the MUSE family from 265 to 295 g, developed for easy handling, comfort, stable control and a more relaxed playing experience.
Yonex EZONE rackets suit players who want to accelerate the ball with less effort while retaining a stable and comfortable response. The eighth generation expands the effective hitting area and combines fast energy transfer with damping, making it effective for flatter strokes and moderately topspun trajectories.
Ipontennis lists six active models from 245 to 305 grams. EZONE 98 and 100 cover the main performance range; 100L reduces mass for easier handling; Alpha 245, 260 and 275 support progression and swing speed. The family lets players increase assisted power or stability without losing its recognisable comfort and lively launch.
Before deciding, compare the model with your current racket while keeping string, tension and grip size consistent. Perception changes between a short hit and a complete session, so include serve, return, high balls, defence and strokes played under fatigue.
The family shares one identity, but weight and geometry determine how much help it provides and how much technical demand it adds.
EZONE 98 provides more defined contact and controlled launch for players who create their own pace. EZONE 100 adds margin, depth and help on off-centre contact. Alpha models are more accessible and manoeuvrable when learning, defending or moving the frame quickly is the priority.
Lively launch helps a medium swing, but depth can become excessive if strings and tension do not match. Fast swingers should consider the 98 or a control string; players who need help clearing the net generally benefit from the 100 or lighter alternatives.
EZONE dampens impact, yet a setup that is too soft can blur direction and one that is too stiff can remove its comfort advantage. Look for a response that lets you feel the target without slowing the swing. Appropriate weight remains essential against returns and heavy incoming balls.
These alternatives show whether the character of EZONE truly matches your trajectory and sustainable swing speed.
Use the main category to compare the four families, their weight ranges and different levels of assistance.

View Yonex VCORE rackets →Precision, flex and feedback for players who create their own pace. Eight active references cover 97- and 100-square-inch heads, different patterns and weights from 280 to 320 grams.
View Yonex PERCEPT rackets →Smooth handling, efficient energy transfer and comfort for natural play. The available range includes MUSE 100, 100L and 100SL between 265 and 295 grams.
View Yonex MUSE rackets →The 2025 EZONE generation uses an evolved ISOMETRIC shape to enlarge the useful hitting area. 2G-Namd Speed supports energy transfer and rapid frame recovery, while VDM and materials such as MINOLON are used to soften vibration. The intended result is explosive power with a fuller, more comfortable feel.
Specifications vary by model: the 305-gram EZONE 98 requires self-generated acceleration; the 300-gram EZONE 100 balances power and versatility; 100L and Alpha reduce inertia. Before choosing, check whether you can control length on attacking shots and maintain stability when receiving a heavy ball.
A more elastic string adds comfort and depth; a control-oriented monofilament can organise launch when swing speed is sufficient. In both cases, excessive tension reduces the usable sweet spot and may harden impact. Gauge and replacement frequency matter as much as the chosen tension.
Do not automatically copy a professional setup. Their speed, physical preparation and restringing frequency are not comparable with normal club use. The best combination preserves control, comfort and confidence for a complete match, including the moments when footwork becomes less precise.
