At just under 11 ounces, the VCORE Tour F 97 (290) moves fast and delivers the kind of accuracy that inspires confidence on full swings. Part of that accuracy comes from the unique 16x21 string pattern, which uses a higher number of cross strings to provide a more controlled response. This racquet also comes with Aero Fin Technology, which features grooves in the upper hoop to minimize air resistance. The result is an even speedier feel, which should help a broad range of intermediates generate the stroke speed required for effective pace and spin. From the baseline, the Tour F 97 has a very predictable response on full swings. The fast feel is perfect for hitting running forehands or shifting from defense to offense. The maneuverability also shines on service returns where the Tour F comes around very fast when the pressure is on. All in all this is a great option for intermediate players who want a maneuverable racquet with controllable power and great feel.<br><br>*This racquet is compatible with the Sony Smart Tennis Sensor.
