Buttery flex. Raw speed. Spin-friendly precision
Yonex updates the VCORE PRO 97 with a new name but keeps the seductive playability of the previous generation. Named the Percept 97, this stick is defined by raw speed, spin-friendly precision and arm-friendly comfort. Designed for intermediate and advanced players, this racket's zippy sub-320 swingweight enables easy spin from the backcourt and swift reactions at the net. In addition to its buttery flex point, the Percept also packs a surgical 625cm² head, resulting in the kind of control that inspires confidence on full cuts. Notable features include an elongated shaft to enhance pocketing, flexibility and control, along with a stiffer racket face for extra stability and power. To help with comfort, Yonex adds a Servo Filter which utilizes a thin elastic layer in the shaft to filter out harsh vibrations. Similar to its predecessor, this racket's graphite layup is enhanced by 2G-NAMD Flex Force, a material technology that enables the frame to flex optimally upon impact. Ultimately, the Percept 97, with its seductive combination of speed, spin and feel, is a great option for those who want a light and spin-friendly player's racket with impressive control and feel.
