More control but harder to use with a small sweet spot; lets them hit harder and flatter.

“Yo uso la 98 y la 2023 aunque bien lo dicen es mucho más complicada por un pequeño punto dulce. Es de más control.”

Their racket since release: plusher, easier to manoeuvre and more forgiving than the 2026.

“The old racket is way plusher, easier to maneuver, has less power and feels more forgiving.”

Huge fun spin, but underpowered, a bit unstable at the net and tricky to flatten out.

“The v7 was incredibly fun because of how pronounced the spin was. However, people found the racket underpowered.”

Very plush, almost too muted for them.

“The vcore 98 2023 felt very plush, almost too comfortable with how muted it was.”

Their main racket; a week demoing the 8th gen didn't convince them to switch.

“I 2nd this, my main is 23 gen 7 Vcore 98. I demo’d the gen 8 for a week restrung to mimic my current set up and didn’t decide buy the gen 8.”
