Hubert Hurkacz racquet is a Yonex VCORE Pro 97 customized to a heavier weight. The closest you can get to his racquet when purchasing a retail frame is to go for the Yonex VCORE Pro 97H (click for our review). According to the TW forum, his strung specifications are 359g, 370sw, 59RA. This makes sense according to his racquet history (Prestige before) and his style of play relying heavily on his serve and flatter, dominating groundstrokes.

Hurkacz racquet is strung with Solinco Tour Bite 1.25 in the mains and natural gut in the crosses at around 23.5 kg or 52 lbs. The info and pic are from user Wianek on the forums.
