Comfort: HighWith last year’s V-Con 17 and V-Con 20, Yonex covered the graphite core at the throat with an elastic material wrapped in a ceramic alloy to absorb shock. The new Vibration Control Shaft (V-Con) 15 replaces the ceramic with a plastic to produce a V-Con racquet below $200. Don’t think cheaper means cheap, though. The 15 reduces bad vibes and provides a solid feel, according to testers. They overwhelmingly preferred using the racquet at net, where they got excellent depth and control on volleys. “This stick will appeal to good club doubles players, serve-and-volleyers, and anyone who likes to finish points at net,” a 4.5 player said. At the baseline, medium-length strokes yield the best blend of power and control. Take a bigger cut and you might struggle with control, but if it’s comfort you’re after, the tradeoff might be worth it.

BOTTOM LINE
Comfort-oriented frame for the mid-level net rusher.
