The Yonex VCORE 26 Junior Tennis Racket is designed for junior players who are progressing their technique and building confidence on court. Ideal for players approximately 135–150 cm tall (around ages 10–12), this lightweight racket features a 100 sq in head size and an open 16×18 string pattern, helping young players generate spin and depth with less effort.

Part of the 8th Generation Yonex VCORE series (2026), the VCORE 26 combines easy manoeuvrability with improved spin potential and forgiveness. The aerodynamic frame design supports faster swing speeds, while the larger sweet spot helps juniors achieve more consistent ball contact as they develop full swings and match play skills.

Whether used for coaching sessions, training, or junior competitions, the VCORE 26 offers a balanced blend of comfort, control, and modern spin performance for developing players.

TECHNOLOGY

• ISOMETRIC™
  Yonex’s signature square head shape increases the effective sweet spot by optimising the intersection of main and cross strings, providing improved control and consistency even on off-centre hits — a valuable benefit for developing players.
• Liner Tech
  A refined grommet design that allows increased string movement across the racket face, enhancing ball pocketing and spin potential — helping juniors generate more topspin with less effort.
• Aero Trench
  An aerodynamic innovation that shields grommets at the top of the frame, reducing air resistance for faster swing speeds and smoother manoeuvrability — useful for players building racquet head speed.
