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.
The Midnight Navy Percept 97 D is not just a racquet; it’s a strategic advantage. It is best suited for advanced/tournament-level players with long, fast swings who value:
Surgical Accuracy: Hit the lines with confidence.
Classic Feel: Experience the "plush" sensation of a traditional player’s racquet with modern stability.
Stability: The 320g weight ensures the racquet doesn't get pushed around by heavy hitters.
