This is the best of the best when it comes to racquets. As a player that used to hit deep a lot, it has completely transformed my game with the lower launch angle and ridiculous amount of control. Probably best for players that have good fundamentals since it is a bit more advanced with the string pattern.

As a VCore Pro 97H & D user, the new Percept really shines and addresses 2 key areas. The added firmness in the hoop helps to stabilize the hitting zone and offers an added punch to one’s shots. It’s most evident on volleys and serves. The removal of VDM and insertion of Servo Filter still maintains the muted nature of the frame. However, there’s an appreciable improvement in terms of ball feedback at contact. There’s a more defined sense of the frame’s flex point so one feels a little more connected as well as improved consistency. All in all, a solid update for Yonex’ premier control racket and a must try!
