2023 Yonex Percept 97 D 97inch 18*20 320g

This model falls under the control segment, shaping how it delivers power, control, and feel on court. The 97 in² head size prioritizes precision and cleaner contact. A stiffness rating of 66 RA results in a softer, more dampened response at impact. With an unstrung weight of 320 g, the frame adds stability through mass. The 18x20 string pattern (dense) influences spin access and launch angle. Performance-wise, it scores 20/100 for power, 60/100 for spin, and 100/100 for control, outlining its on-court behavior. Comfort levels are above average, supporting longer hitting sessions. It is best suited for intermediate advanced players.

User comments for racquets with similar specifications highlight predictable on-court characteristics. Users often emphasize control and confidence on full swings, noting that clean contact is rewarded more than defensive play. Comfort is generally viewed as a positive, particularly for longer sessions. Overall, it is most often recommended by users for intermediate advanced players.
