Yonex VCore Tennis Racquet Review


I have been playing tennis since I was a kid and I've used many tennis racquets. I didn't think I'd be able to find a good brand that I could trust to use while playing, until I came across this Yonex. Luckily, a friend told me about the revolutionary Yonex VCORE. At first, I was quite hesitant to buy this product because I have had so many racquets and most of them weren’t able to meet my standards. I thought the Yonex racquets were going to be just the same as the others.

But I decided to buy it to see for myself if it could actually help me win. I was surprised at how well I performed with it. This racquet really did help me become more aggressive because it enabled me to have better control over my body. It also helped me put the ball in the right corner to win a clean sweep.

The Yonex VCORE is able to deliver great performance on the court. With other racquets, I’ve had problems winning. My power was lacking, my swing was bad and my control was totally off. With a Yonex racquet, I was able to improve my power, hit the ball harder, make excellent swings in the right corner and have better control of my movements.

My Yonex VCore racquet is lightweight. In fact, I can carry it all day long without getting tired. I would definitely recommend this product to my friends who also love to play tennis.

In addition to being lightweight, Yonex racquets are very dependable. I did some research and found out that these racquets are made from lightweight titanium that allows players to increase their power in every swing. Furthermore, the head is larger than most ordinary racquets. This gives players a larger surface area to return a quick serve or volley with the best of them.

With a Yonex racquet, I can hit the ball exactly where I want it to go. If you want to play like a pro, make sure you get one of these great tennis racquets.

The Right Tennis Racquet Makes All the Difference. I Prefer the Dunlop Biomimetic.


I took tennis lessons when I was a kid. Actually, let me rephrase that, my parent’s signed me up for tennis lessons every year. I didn’t really have any interest, but being that my father was an avid tennis player and ranked as high as number 2 on his high school tennis team (a fact that he was to continually remind me of throughout my formative years as a player) I didn’t have any choice. I not only took free tennis lessons in the park every summer, but being that we lived around the block from a tennis club, I was signed up there in the winter. Every Tuesday and Thursday I was hitting forehands and backhands, just me against the relentless ball machine. However, it didn’t take long for my love of the game to grow.

Tennis racquets have come a long way since the days of wooden and oversized racquets. My dad favored an old school wooden contraption. When I was growing up playing tennis it was all the rage to one of those giant, oversized racquets. They were more equipped for self-defense than optimizing power and accuracy. That’s ok. It was a fad. I found my true racquet when I first picked up a Dunlop Biomimetic 300 tennis racquet. With that racquet, my game improved. Effortless and accurate, the engineering and construction of Dunlop Biomimetic racquets bring tennis to a new level.


What makes these racquets so great? Dunlop Biomimetic racquets are the perfect marriage of nature and technology. Biomimetics is a concept that studies the natural world, and then applies what it sees to the development of sporting technology. They are constructed out of 100% Aerogel enhanced graphite. This makes them lighter than other racquets and easier to control. They are also built with Aeroskin, which reduces aerodynamic drag. The Dunlop Biomimetic 300 tennis racquet is all about power and racquet control. The technology is seamless and beautiful. It is as if the Dunlop Biomimetic 300 tennis racquet was the natural extension of your body.

The right racquet makes all the difference in tennis. How my father could have played with a wooden racquet is beyond me. Then again, those oversized racquets I used to play with were not much better. Technology has changed the game. With a sport as difficult as tennis, it is a good idea to get all the help you can get.

Babolat AeroPro Drive GT Racquet Lets You Attack the Net like a Pro

No one who has ever used a Babolat tennis racquet will deny its quality.

Babolat has been in the business of making tennis racquets nearly as long as tennis has been a sport. It’s one of the most respected companies in the world of tennis; respected by both amateur and professional players alike. In fact, do a quick search for "Babolat AeroPro Drive GT racquet" and you’ll quickly find that it's the preferred racquet of Rafael Nadal.

And, if the Babolat AeroPro Drive GT Racquet is good enough for Rafael Nadal, then it’s good enough for me.

However, it might not be the right racquet for everyone. A racquet of this design is for tennis players who aggressively attack the net and have an NTRP rating of 3.5 or better.

The sweet spot on this Babolat tennis racquet is only 100 square inches. The smaller head size means that if you're a player who is just learning to get the ball in play, learning to judge where the ball is going, or is somewhat consistent with medium-paced shorts but not comfortable with all strokes, then this racquet may not be for you. If you need on-court experience, you may want to start with an easier model.

However, if you aggressively attack the net and are dependable with directional control on moderate shots despite lacking depth and variety, the Babolat AeroPro Drive GT Racquet is a match.

The racquet itself utilizes a hybrid material composed of braided layers of carbon and threaded tungsten filaments, which reduce torque at impact while allowing you to make cleaner, more precise hits. In fact, the frame was designed like an airplane wing, so that you experience minimal air drag while swinging it. This allows you to swing faster, which translates into more power. Finally, the combination of graphite and tungsten (GT) allow the player to exhibit more control then prior versions of Babolat tennis racquets.

If you're a baseline player who likes to take big cuts at the ball you will be pleased with this racquet.

There's definitely a reason why this is a very popular racquet and, trust me, it's not only because a professional such as Nadal uses it. This racquet allows even an average tennis player to attack the net like a pro. It may not be for beginners, but if you are, or becoming, a power player, this racquet is definitely for you.
