- Another highly requested racket by the Gladiators family. The Yonex Vcore Pro 100. One confusing frame as it has way more to do with the Vcore than with the Vcore Pro. Could this Vcore Pro 100 be the next racket for Areg? Watch the video till the end to find out!

Love your content and I’ve been a fan since day 1! Keep it up and I’ll continue to support however I can 💪🏼
Omg did you just? 😳😳🤭 Thank you so much!! We've appreciated your support and engagement from day 1, cuz it means a lot to us. But now, I just don't even know what to say.
Thank you!!!
I absolutely love the aesthetics of this frame - I bought it just to look at it even though I may just stick with the Ezone 100
Hahahah alright alright, you really like the design then 😂😂
I just bought this racket. i switched after a year from yonex ezone 100 to yonex vcore pro 100. I dont regret it. Best racket I ever played with. Less power than the ezone but for someone with a complete swing more than anough power on the vcore pro 100. Ezone was not stable enough for me, it lacked feel. When you hit hard you have to hit it extremly clean with the ezone otherwise it floated out, the vcore pro you can hit all day long and everything goes in. It is a bit more difficult to hit a winner with the vcore pro 100 but the feel is so great, smooth, you can push en brush through the ball and you dont have to worry the ball will jump of the racket. The vcore pro 100 feel softer and is easy to use. Perfect match for me on my game right know, Its feels like I can improve my game again with this new 2021 racket(bought it in okt 2023)
strung it a little bit on the heavy side with 24kg 1.25 lux big banger. Maybe I will go with 23.5 or 23 kg.
Oh no another video, boo! 😂 😂 I found your page a few days ago and I’m addicted!! Y’all are hilarious and it’s also good helpful content!
Hahahaha thank you so much!! Really means a lot to us!!
Every time I see your videos I get more and more excited for your merch! Can't wait for you guys to drop it 😍
Yep, I'm in as well. Really great channel.
Thank you so much!! It's awesome to know that!!
I love that you guys always put emphasis that your reviews are very personal, and everyone will have a different playstyle or preference in weight, string tension etc.
Having said that ... Areg, I will buy anything you tell me to.
Hahahahaha thanks a lot!! We'll definitely keep that in mind 😂😂
Thanks for reviewing my racket! I was surprised that your review racket was so close in spec to mine (just strung 2 pounds higher with the same string and gauge). First of all, what drew me in was the 'retro' aesthetic. It is polarising, but I love it to bits. Coming from the Babolat Pure Strike 3rd Gen 18x20 (which was great to hit with but lacked easy power), the VCP100 truly felt like an extension of my arm. The low stiffness and dampened string meant that I could swing as fast as I wanted and the ball would still go in. It took me a couple of tries to find my perfect racket, but I think I found it in this one.
Thanks for your review! It's always awesome when you manage to find the racket that fits you perfectly!
I'm also coming from the Pure Strike 18x20, I'm going to give this one a try. Hope I like it as much as you !
Great review guys this has been my racquet of choice for 3 months now and 5.0 player.
Was a DR100 user and still my old racquets of choice but wanted an upgrade after 5
years.
Bought the Vcore 98 and now sold them as just didn't feel the vibe with it to muted and just not the same feel and control as my DRs.
So read reviews and demoed these and honestly haven't looked back.
I added 5 grams of lead at 3&9 and 5 grams on the handle and damn did that do the trick.
Have got Volkl Cyclone 18g at 54 pounds and that is the perfect combo.
Highly recommended racquet for anyone looking for a control orientated 100 frame with enough power and spin.
Cheers again guys love your channel.
Thank you for your review! Your setup feels very similar to what would be the perfect setup for Areg with this frame 🤔 Considering you even use the same strings 😉
Love my VCore Pro 100. Good racquet for old timers who find racquets such as the VCore too powerful and don’t like the launch angles.
I wouldn't say it's way less powerful though 🤔
@@gladiatorstribe maybe he s talking about the previous one (thé green one) that is way better and more control.
I think that Areg would have directly switched to this previous contrôlés and solid green vcore pro 100... Not the new one...
Maybe you could make a vidéo to test it or to compare both... Would be really great !!!
Anyway : happy new year Glads !
Personally I prefer the colour design from the previous generation. Not just because I have them myself (18x20 version) but the darl green with golden details is a bit more elegant compared to this nee bohemian paint job. Speaking of which, have you tried the 18x20 version of this racquet? I bet it’d be something for Grisha. I’am a heavy flat hitter myself and the racquet is a pure joy to hit with.
didn't watch the video yet but already liked it. cheers from brasil 👊🏼🇧🇷
you know what’s crazy, you have your eyes on the video, i have my eyes on you😍😘
Hahaha thanks a lot! Appreciate it!
Hey Grisha, I’ve been looking at your videos and searching around. I was wondering if you could give me a quic recommendation or two. I’m a Intermediate but advancing player with a bad shoulder, so I want power and control but easy on shoulder for serve. Any ideas??? Thank you!
Hey!! Control and power are on the different sides of the spectrum therefore you do have to choose which one you value more. If it is control, I'd try the Wilson Pro Staff 97 v13. If you'd rather prefer power, I'd give Head Boom MP a shot. The racket that will be the easiest on the shoulder though, I'd say would be the Wilson Clash v2
@@gladiatorstribe thank you so much! Love the channel keep up the good work. The finger thing you do in the throat of the racquet after spinning it makes me crack up every time lol
Thanks for everything, Grisha and Areg ✌️
Thank you so much for the support!! Means so much to us!!!!
Thanks guys! Great hitting 🎾🙏♥️
Thank you!!
Would you say the vcore pro 100 a good spin racket? I’m trying it out. I also use the head extreme tour but it is hurting my arm recently. . I was using hyper g and Grapplesnake m8 with the extreme tour. Could try a softer poly on the extreme tour and see if that helps with the vibrations. But the vcore pro 100 would let me use a more spin friendly poly like Grapplesnake tour sniper, cube or game changer. I hit from the baseline with a lot of topspin and pace and have a one handed backhand where I use topspin and slice. Any opinion on these two rackets or any other you would recommend? Never had tennis elbow but this last month I’ve had pain.
I paid the down payment last week for an Ezone 100. Honestly, I didn't want to buy a racquet for now, but the store told me once the stock came to the store it'll immediately be sold out (Same as previous stock) So I ask them to keep a 98 and 100. In the end, I chose the 100.
My first concern is that the throat is quite thick which I need to adapt to, but all fine for my backhand setting not like the pure aero. I'll grab it next weekend
Also, I'm studying Grisha's forehand lately which is so fascinating!
That's cool, congrats on that! Why did you decide to study my forehand? 🤭😂
@@gladiatorstribe I just manage to do the " stay the body in the contact " stuff on my forehand for the first time, and I feel everything improved immediately. I suggest I finish all the Kinetic Chain primary and my forehand is up to standard! Now the next step is how to stay my racquet on the hitting side. One thing that came up to me is your stroke. Although I will definitely be not able to whip that hard like you, I think I can learn something from it
Hope you guys can make a video on how to add weight to the racket,,, maybe some explainations as well why put the weight here and there,,, that would be an awesome vid,,, all in all great vid as usual have been supporting since day 1
Thanks for the support! We are considering doing a video on that in the future!
nice review, guys. hey Areg, I'm a speed mp 360+ user too, and I'm considering test Vcore Pro 100. What differences do you notice in playtest? just comfort and feel better? speed stability is much better?
The Speed is more powerful and has a touch better access to spin. The Yonex takes it in terms of feel and comfort for sure. In comparison the Vcore is also more stable. So yes, basically you said everything correctly. That's a response from Grisha but I hope you don't mind 😂
@@gladiatorstribe thanks Grisha. I just ask to Areg because he is a speed mp user. here in brazil is not commom stores have a demon racket, so we have to buy or borrow from someone. I will test vcore pro 100, considering is more stable and better feel. Thanks a lot
great video and you both play awesome tennis! Where would you place the Vcore pro spinwise and powerwise compared to the Ezone 100 from yonex?
Hi grisha
What do u think is the difference of this, V core 100 and Vcore pro 100?
Awesome review! I think the design of the frame is awesome and brings back 90's design.
Thanks for sharing!!
Can yo compare vcore pro 100 to vcore 100? I know the pro has better feel and less power. But does it has much less spin capacity than the vcore? I used both an don’t see that much difference in spin.
If you would choose between the head speed pro 2018 version or 2019 version of yonex vcore pro 100 what frame would you choose and why? I own both racquets
Areg would obviously go for the Vcore, for the power and spin. I'd do for the Speed Pro for the control, versatility and stability.
I always said it, choosing a racket is like choosing "the girl you like", and thanks to Areg now I'm going to add "the girl you like on Tinder"...😉...great review as always, and thanks Areg for contributing to my famous quotes...🤣🤣🤣
Hahahah very true, choosing the one and only 😂
The vcore pro is my favorite looking yonex. I use the babolat pure drive super lite. I use the super lite version because I'm 13 and can't play with a heavy racket lol. Anyway another excellent review, keep it coming 👍
Thank you very much! Don't worry about the weight hahahaha Little by little you'll be increasing it, until some day you'll be able to play with pretty much any racket.
since I don’t know where else to ask this. All my life i’ve used the Babolat Aero Pro Drive Original and i’ve come to the point where I want find something newer and retire those.
What racquets either current or from the past come close to this?
hey Grisha, Vcore pro 100 has better maneuverability than speed mp 360+?
So yonex grips run bigger than other. Brands? Would you recommend going one grip smaller ?
What string and tension do you recommend? How much weight would you add so it’s still fast for topspin strokes?
I would add at least 10 grams and string it at 25kg (55lb) or so.
"Retro-Trendy" looks. Love it!
Awesome!!
"I haven't read the specs of it, so I'm gonna be professional and talk about the aesthetics of it okay. So this color reminds me... kind of... you know... the retro old toilets. This color they have you know... in theory that's a compliment because I actually like the color. So let's see how it goes.

Yeeap quoting the greatest here 😂😂😂
Best content in tennis keep pushing brother
A honest question, how do i add weight on the vcore pro 100 to get the weight and balance of the vcore pro 97 (310g),,, i like the weight and balance on the 97,,, where can i add weight on the vcore pro 100 to get the balance and weight of the vcore pro 97 (310g)?
How much weight and where?
What size grip are you guys using for the Vcore Pro 100? Thxxx!
Love the reviews guys. Suggestion for the final review racket stats, add players weight and style by the name.
Thanks for the suggestion, our styles are mentioned in the beginning though 😉
I think 320 swingweight good for FH, but not stable enough for BH. Agree with you Grisha. These VCpros seem to be designed for customization.
Definitely see a great potential for it!
Do you find the grip a bit larger? Would you go one size down if you hit with topspin?
Yonex grips are a bit larger than usual.
Have you guys considered going pro? You guys are sooooo talented!!!!!!!!
Hahaha thank you very much! We kind of have 😂😉
Y'all should review the Head Instinct MP
Wow, that's one interesting request!
what is the grip size of this 100 you guys using? thx
Great Review..
Thank you!!
$10 ain't enough for such hight quality content, but hopefully helps at least a little. Love your good mood on the court and I wish I had such mindset on court and especially in the match when I am losing (that means every match). Anyway, if you notice my comment, I hope you could advise me a little. Currently I am something around 4.0 player using head graphene 360 radical pro. Love the racket. Love its feel and versatility but it ruins my arm and the ball is always sailing long when I am under pressure. So I purchased Head 360+ Gravity Tour and put around 10 grams of weight into the handle. The racket has great comfort and feel, and has much lower launch angle than radical, which makes me more confident but I tend to hit net more often. Considering to switch to 2022 ezone 98. What do you guys think? Thank you so much for the content.
Thank you so much! Everything counts for us! Means a lot! Considering your racket history, the Ezone is going to be the most powerful one by a margin. With a high launch angle. You will compromise on control compared to the radical and the gravity. However you could adjust that by increasing the tension. I really like the Ezone 98 so I definitely recommend. The feel is great, the sweet spot is massive, great power but still decent control. It has got it all 😉
@@gladiatorstribe, thanks! 🙇♂
which grip size did u used ? L4 or L5 ?
Hey Grisha! How does Adrenaline play compared to Alu Power?
Less powerful and less feel. The Alu is a much better string for me but the price tag is a bit angry 😂😂
Thanks!
Thanks so much! Really appreciate it!
Just bought one of these . Interesting .
Superb video!! Just love to see people absolutely doting on Yonex, in general, haha they are pretty good. Areg, my wallet is yours 🤣 The way you guys do these videos are just the best and just a pleasant experience every time I tune in to you guys be nerds about tennis 🤩 Also I don't remember if I asked this before or not but can you guys do the Prince Vortex? Super cool design but I'm not sure how it plays haha. Keep it all up! 💪🏼💯
Thanks for your wallet, really appreciate it 😂😂 I don't think you have, it's a pretty usual frame for sure! Might get one to review!
You used poly tour Rex in your play test?
Amazing video
Thank you!!
Danke!
Danke to you!! Really appreciate it!!!
@@gladiatorstribe thx for the great & unique content.
@@hobbyfuntennis6287 It's always our pleasure!
Hey Gladiators!
Thanks for content!
Have you ever tried a Lacoste fancy racket?
it would be very interesting to know your opinion :)
Ps. sber account? :)
Hey there!!
Thank you very much! No, we haven't yet. Might give it a shot if we find one 😂 Don't have sber just yet 😬
Thank you very much though!
@Grisha, try to get the 18x20 version. Would be great for your style of play.
If that existed!!
@@gladiatorstribe I think Chris is referring to the vcore pro 97D
Well, the paintjob makes me think of a cheap discount early 80's jogging that you can find every friday evening at tunning car meetings in the north of France.
So, Areg, if you switch to this one, you ll have to wear a horsehoe mustach with a mulet hairstyle and fake raybans !!! 🤪
Fake Ray-Bans ✔️
RETRO MIAMI COLORS. 💯
Michael, you know it 😏
dunlop review please
Will do!
Pretty close to Speed MP, that's why it fits Areg.
Yep, for sure.
I put 5 grams at 3 and 5 grams at 9 on my vcore pro 100
Became more stable but even more powerful?
@@gladiatorstribe more stable.....i tried some 5 grams at 12 but was toooo powerful
after custom, did you notice increase swing weight? still good maneuverability?
@@marceloikezaki swing weight went up a little....still moves good
Nice vid … 🎾💨🖤
😉
Music?

Yonex always struggles with the aesthetics of their racquets. I love the shape of the frame but the paint scheme is awful.

Danke!
Thank you so much!
