YONEX Percept 97D Tennis Racquet - Midnight Navy

The YONEX Percept 97 D - Midnight Navy (Unstrung) is the ultimate precision instrument for advanced players who demand absolute control and a surgical feel on every shot. As the densest and most control-oriented model in the Percept line, the "D" (Dense) version features an 18x20 string pattern, making it the gold standard for heavy hitters who want to dictate points with pinpoint accuracy.

Top Performance Features

• 18x20 Dense String Pattern: Designed for the competitive player, this tight string bed offers maximum directional control and a lower launch angle, allowing you to swing big without the fear of overhitting.

• SERVO FILTER Technology: A transparent, elastic film placed between graphite layers that absorbs unwanted vibrations (up to 60% more effectively) while maintaining the essential tactile feedback needed for touch shots and volleys.

• ISOMETRIC™ Design: Yonex’s signature square-shaped frame increases the sweet spot by 7%, providing greater consistency and power even on off-center hits compared to conventional round frames.

• 2G-Namd™ Flex Force: This advanced graphite allows the racquet to flex and snap back quickly, imparting aggressive spin and consistent ball pocketing.

• Stiff Racquet Face Design: An increased graphite content in the racquet face enhances stability, ensuring the frame doesn't twist during high-velocity exchanges.
