Yonex Percept 97h 2023 Tennis Racquet
Yonex updates one of its most stable player's racquets with better feel and new name. Called the Percept 97H,
this racquet combines a 12+ ounce strung weight with a flexible 21mm
beam and a 97in² head. In addition to giving advanced players
outstanding control on full cuts, the Percept 97H packs a beefy 325+
swingweight, making it great for redirecting the pace of a big hitter or
driving the ball through the court. It also feels very solid on volleys
where you will find enough touch to drop the ball on a dime. Notable
features include an elongated shaft to enhance pocketing, flexibility
and control, along with a stiffer racquet face for extra stability and
power. This racquet also features a Servo Filter which
utilizes a thin elastic layer in the shaft to filter out harsh
vibrations. Similar to its predecessor, this racquet's graphite layup is
enhanced by 2G-NAMD Flex Force, a material technology that enables the frame to flex optimally upon impact. Ultimately,
this update is a must demo for experienced players looking to hit a
heavy ball. The outstanding feel is a nice bonus.Technology:
- ISOMETRIC:
SIGNATURE YONEX TECHNOLOGY SINCE 1980
Developed over 30 years ago, the ISOMETRIC™ design increases the sweet spot by 7%*. Compared to a conventional round frame, a square-shaped ISOMETRIC™ racquet generates a larger sweet spot by optimizing the intersection of the main and cross strings.
ISOMETRIC™ technology delivers greater control without sacrificing power. 
- SERVO FILTER:
A transparent and elastic film placed between graphite layers helps bond the layers while maintaining its elastic characteristics even after the molding process. This unique film absorbs unwanted vibrations, provides fine-tuned flex and snapback to each shot,delivering precise sensory feedback from the ball to the hand.
SERVO FILTER is a vibration-absorbing film developed by the Mitsubishi Chemical Group, which has high bonding properties with graphite and excels in both flexibility and durability
- FLEXCON SYSTEM:
The tapered and elongated box frame allows the shaft to flex comfortably, extending the ball pocketing duration for more feel and control. The flexibility is enhanced by the "2G-Namd™ Flex Force," a highly elastic graphite that enables 15%* more flexibility on the racquet shaft.
*Tested by Yonex
- STIFF RACQUET FACE DESIGN:
FOR IMPROVED CONSISTENCY
The frame employs morew layers* of graphite to increase rigidity of the racquet face. 3% more stability on the racquet face, providing improved consistency in ball trajectory.
*Compared to previous controloriented
racquet models.
*Tested by Yonex
2G-NAMD™ SPEED:
Designed to produce flex and power, 2G-Namd™ Speed is developed from high modulus graphite fibers bound with CNTs,resulting in a material that transfers energy into quick snapback.
