Named Tennis Magazine ’ s 2018 Editor ’ s Choice for Best Player ’ s Frame
Tennis Magazine – a premier American tennis publication - called the VORE PRO 97 G an “ allcourt weapon that exhibit ( s ) the smoothness and consistency of classic control frames , but in a lighter package .” They went on to add , “ it was easy to whip through the hitting zone for a little extra pop on serves and ground strokes . Having one less cross string than its predecessor offered more spin potential , as did the added torque from the more flexible graphite and thinner beam .”
The VCORE PRO , the new flagship model of the VCORE series , is the racquet of choice for three-time Grand Slam champion Stan “ The Man ” Wawrinka ( SUI ), as well as ATP Next Gen stars Frances Tiafoe ( USA ) and Hyeon Chung ( KOR ). To meet the needs of these players ’ games , the VCORE PRO incorporates a revolutionary next- generation graphite , called “ Namd1 ,” which provides for a unique flex and fast frame snapback , allowing players to grip the ball and fire-off aggressive , attacking spin .

YONEX POLYTOUR STRIKE
The new gamechanging string from Yonex
Yonex is proud to unveil its newest tennis string , POLYTOUR STRIKE , which allows players to confidently strike with overwhelming power , precision , and long-lasting tension performance .
Traditionally , polyester strings are known for their durability and spin potential , but with the major downside of quick tension loss that results in uncontrollable shots . Upon several requests from top tour players , Yonex began research and development towards a revolutionary polyester string with a focus on long-lasting attacking power . After meticulous lab and field-testing with tour players , Yonex developed a formula that was tourproven to provide players with the extra “ pop ” they seek with minimal tension loss . Studies compared POLYTOUR STRIKE to the market-leaders in power-oriented polyester strings , with results showing a 1.7 % and 0.4 %* 1 power and ball speed increase , respectively . Additionally , POLYTOUR STRIKE performed significantly better at tensionmaintenance , allowing players to focus on their game rather than their equipment .
During the 2017 season , both Caroline Garcia and Denis Shapovalov competed with the prototype POLYTOUR STRIKE , catapulting them both to their career-high rankings . Like all of Yonex ’ s POLYTOUR products , the strings are manufactured in Japan , under Yonex ’ s renowned high-quality standards and controlled conditions .
