The Yonex VCORE 100L in Scarlet suits players who want to build a topspin game but feel more confident handling less overall mass than the standard VCORE 100. At a nominal 280 g with a 100-square-inch head, it offers an inviting balance for developing players, juniors progressing to full-length frames and recreational tennis players who prefer easier preparation.
A lighter frame with its own rhythm
The 16/19 pattern supports varied spin and trajectory, while the 330 mm balance retains a noticeable sense of head presence. This is not merely a regular VCORE 100 minus a few grams: it has a different swing feel, and the player still needs to generate pace through technique. Its strengths are especially relevant in quick exchanges, returns and transitions towards the net.
Seventh-generation VCORE combines ISOMETRIC geometry, aerodynamic shaping and solutions intended to encourage string movement. 2G-Namd Flex Force and VDM add to that generation’s frame response. Scarlet identifies the 2023 edition, not the updated Ruby Red construction from 2026. Choose it for the balance between swing freedom and purposeful spin, not simply because it has the lowest number on the scale.
