The PERCEPT 97D Tennis Racquet takes up the mantle of the VCORE PRO 97D. The 97D is built for advanced players thanks to the 18x20 string pattern and heavier 11.3-ounce unstrung weight. 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 97D is an all-court player frame with tons of precision thanks to the dense string pattern, thin beam, and heavy weight. The SERVO FILTER filters out unwanted vibrations but allows for an improved feel as well
