Yonex adds a midnight blue cosmetic to its most classic player’s racquet! Featuring a control oriented 97 in head and a dense 18×20 string pattern, the Percept 97D Midnight Navy gives intermediate and advanced players the ability to hit an extremely accurate ball. It also packs a flexible 21mm beam, giving it phenomenal ball feedback. Although it has a near 12-ounce static weight, this racquet’s headlight balance keeps it fast enough for whipping up spin or reacting quickly in the front court. Notable features include an elongated shaft to enhance pocketing, flexibility, and control, along with a stiffer racquet face for extra stability and power. To help with comfort, Yonex adds a Servo Filter, which utilizes a thin elastic layer in the shaft to filter out harsh vibrations. Similar to its predecessor, this racquet’s graphite layup is enhanced by 2G-NAMD Flex Force, a material technology that enables the frame to flex optimally upon impact. Players looking for a high degree of control combined with phenomenal ball feedback will love this one.
