Yonex Percept 97 Tennis Racquet Yonex Percept 97 Tennis Racquet

The Yonex PERCEPT 97 Tennis Racquet takes up the mantle of the VCORE PRO 97. Used on tour by Frances Tiafoe, the PERCEPT 97 offers impressive mobility for a control racquet. The racquet uses the FLEXCON System; a tapered and elongated box-frame design for greater precision. Yonex' Flex Force graphite means the racquet can flex, but it snaps back quickly for greater spin and ball acceleration. Vibration Dampening Mesh is NOT in the PERCEPT models. Instead, Yonex added a transparent film placed between graphite to enhance flexibility called the SERVO FILTER. The new technology reduces unwanted vibration by 13%. While FLEXCON and SERVO FILTER create a more flexible shaft, Yonex increased the amount of graphite in the racquet face for a 3% increase in stability at impact. Think comfortable flex in the shaft but with a firmer and more powerful racquet head.

The PERCEPT 97 is one of the fastest models in its weight class. Thanks to an improved dampening system, the racquet provides a better feel, while still being comfortable to play.
