Yonex Percept 100 Tennis Racket [Frame Only] (2025)

The Yonex Percept 100 is a dynamic control racket crafted for intermediate to advanced players who demand agility, feel, and authority. Sporting a generous 100 sq in head, a 16 × 19 string pattern, and a weight of approximately 300 g (10.6 oz) unstrung, it strikes a refined balance between power and precision. Its advanced construction—featuring HM Graphite, 2G‑NAMd Flex Force, Stiff Racket‑Face Design (SRFD), and Servo Filter dampening—boosts string snap‑back, delivers crisp feedback, and enhances stability and responsiveness. Finished in a sleek mint‑green scheme, the Percept 100 offers modern performance wrapped in refined aesthetics.

Tennis Staff / Pro Review

The Percept 100 is celebrated by testers for its blend of easy depth, responsive touch, and manoeuvrability. From the baseline, it offers controllable power and elevated launch, allowing players to hit deeper shots with less effort—all while feeling connected to the ball. At the net, it remains sprightly and manageable, enabling rapid positioning and precise volleys—though it trades a bit of the steadfastness seen in its denser‑patterned siblings.

On serve and return, the racket delivers good spin potential and accuracy, even if it’s not the most powerful in terms of outright pace. Players value its ability to help them start points with control and rhythm, especially on returns where manoeuvrability and placement shine.

FAQs

Who is the Percept 100 best suited for?

It’s tailored for intermediate to advanced players who favour control, feel, and manoeuvrability, and who generate their own pace rather than rely on a powerful racket.
