Playing characteristics Percept 100D:
Mike recently put the Percept 100D through its paces. This racket has a very special mix of control, feel, comfort and yet a solid amount of power.
As is known from Yonex, the new Percept rackets are packed with more than enough technical gadgets. Servo Filter provides 'selective vibration damping'. This film layer is placed between the graphite layers and provides more flex at ball impact and filters unwanted vibrations, 13% more than rackets without Servo Filter. All this provides more ball feel and finer control over the ball. 2G-Namd Flex Force together with this filter around the heart of the racket also provides more 'ball pocketing' which benefits spin and control. Finally, the blade of the PERCEPT rackets themselves is slightly stiffened for 3% more blade stability. This provides a bit of additional power.
From the baseline, the Yonex Percept 100D brings a lot of feeling and stability and fine controlled power. The 18x19 stringing pattern offers a lot of control, but does not make the sweet spot much smaller. A very pleasant bonus is the excellent vibration dampening of this racket. Super all-rounder from Yonex with a unique playing feel.
The Yonex Percept 100D is a 'modern classic' with fantastic ball feel and solid control, combined with more than enough power!
