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:
