Yonex Percept

This racquet is designed for intermediate to advanced players who prioritize control and precision over raw power. It is an ideal choice for those with established, full swings who want a responsive frame that rewards technical accuracy.

The smaller 97-square-inch head size offers a more compact sweet spot, which provides exceptional directional control and feedback. While it requires more precise contact than a larger frame, it allows for greater shot-making confidence once you are dialed in.

With a 9-point head-light balance, the majority of the racquet's weight is concentrated toward the handle. This makes the frame feel faster through the air, allowing you to react quickly at the net and whip the racquet head through the zone for extra spin.

The Percept 97 is a low-power, control-oriented frame, meaning it relies on your own swing speed to generate pace. It is engineered to provide stability and precision on aggressive strokes rather than providing free power.

The 16x19 string pattern is designed to balance control with spin potential. It allows for enough string movement to help you generate heavy topspin while maintaining the consistent, predictable response needed for touch shots.

The Servo Filter technology is integrated into the frame to dampen harsh vibrations while maintaining a direct, sensitive connection to the ball. This results in a cleaner, more comfortable feel at impact without sacrificing the feedback you need to judge your shots.
