Yonex 01 Percept 97 Olive Green

A 21 mm beam, a 97 sq in head and 310 g unstrung: the Percept 97 is for an experienced player who makes their own racket speed and wants to feel every contact. The thin profile flexes under the ball, and FlexCon System extends the time the ball spends on the strings. Both make the shot easier to place. The 310 mm balance keeps a heavy frame manageable.

The 16x19 pattern gives good spin with no loss of control. The head has the new Percept shape, and extra graphite layers on the outside stiffen it and steady the trajectory. Servo Filter takes out unnecessary vibration. Recommended strings are Polytour Rev, Polytour Strike or Rexis; the racket comes unstrung. The lighter Percept 100 weighs 300 g and has a bigger head.
