Yonex 01 Percept 100 Olive Green Test

In the Percept line this is the lightest version at 300 g and the one with the biggest head: 100 sq in against 97 on the Percept 97 and 97D. That makes the swing quicker and an imprecise hit easier to get away with. The 320 mm balance is head-light, the beam is a constant 23 mm, and the open 16x19 layout takes spin readily.

A more flexible frame from FlexCon System holds the ball a fraction longer and makes direction easier to control. Extra graphite layers in the head do the opposite job, stiffening the outer part and keeping the trajectory stable. Servo Filter removes unwanted vibration but leaves the sense of contact in the hand. Made in Japan.
