YONEX PERCEPT 100 RACKET

PERCEPT 100 RACKET

The PERCEPT family:

The PERFECT family rackets are control rackets reserved for the most competitive players. They provide the player with perfect control and extraordinary precision. For this version, formerly VCORE PRO, Yonex focuses above all on the flexibility of the frame, to guarantee even greater comfort, without sacrificing the precision characteristic of this range of rackets.

In terms of design, the graphite was mainly placed at the level of the racket head, for great stability, while the flexibility technologies were placed at the heart. This allows optimal performance between stability and comfort.

PERCEPT 100: TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS

Weight at 300g: adult men of all levels, women of advanced level, male competitors over 15 years old. Be careful, despite the weight, this racket is only maneuverable at an extreme level of technicality.

100in head size: racket with a wider sweetspot, for greater hitting power, and tolerance to placement errors and hitting delays. As part of this family of racquets, the 645cm² head size will provide a softer and more comfortable feeling when hitting, but will not completely compensate for the lack of power.

16/19 string pattern: racket allowing good spin, useful for players who use lift in their game. Applied to this racket, the string pattern will allow already very powerful players to have a little more effects.

Unstrung balance at 32cm : racket balanced at the core, for perfect distribution of hitting power, without overloading either the wrist or the shoulder.

Frame profile 23 - 23 - 23: racket with the thinnest profile among all Yonex rackets, the absence of thickness at the core is the guarantee of perfect control and precision in all circumstances. The passage through the air will be particularly fluid for a feeling of lightness when hitting, and increased confidence.

PERCEPT 100: Technologies

- Isometric frame: The sweetspot of the racket is widened by 7% compared to traditional rackets, for enhanced control without loss of power.

- Servo Filer: A transparent film is placed at the level of the graphite, to guarantee greater flexibility of the frame and filter unnecessary vibrations. This makes the frame 60% more flexible.

- Flexcon System: racket core flexion system for a greater sensation of touch at the moment of impact. Makes the frame 15% more flexible. 2g-NAMD system for greater spin and more pronounced snapback when hitting.

- Lock Booster : the rods have been designed for better grip at the rope level, and thus allow more efficient energy transfer and greater power.

In conclusion :

The PERCEPT 100 is a racket whose design is focused on precision and quality of sensations. It is indeed hard to find a racket with which the strike seems so pleasant. This sensation is nevertheless not enableing of power. Therefore, this racket is recommended for extremely powerful competitive players, who need a frame that will give them extreme confidence to be able to release their shots. This lends itself to players who take the ball particularly early, and whose spin - even if present - is not the main feature of their game.

This 100inch frame version might suit competitive and powerful female players, as well as more intermediate level men player who need a lot of control, with a larger sweetspot than with the regular 97 version.
