Unleash unbridled speed with surgical precision in the form of the Percept 97 L! 
 
Designed for the advancing intermediate player, this model offers an easier swing compared to its 97 counterparts, enabling more accurate ball placement. Standout features include an elongated shaft for heightened pocketing, flexibility, and control, complemented by a stiffer racket face that enhances stability and power.
 
Prioritizing player comfort, Yonex incorporates a Servo Filter featuring a thin elastic layer in the shaft, effectively dampening harsh vibrations. Building on the success of its forerunner, the racket's graphite layup is enriched by 2G-NAMD Flex Force, a cutting-edge material technology that optimizes frame flexibility upon impact.
 
In essence, the Percept 97 L seamlessly marries raw speed with pinpoint accuracy, making it an excellent choice for emerging intermediate players. The added bonus of a great feel upon impact further solidifies its appeal.

ISOMETRIC
7% LARGER SWEET SPOT
 
Developed over 30 years ago, the ISOMETRIC™ design increases the sweet spot by 7%*.
Compared to a conventional round frame, a square-shaped ISOMETRIC™ racquet generates a larger sweet spot by optimizing the intersection of the main and cross strings.
ISOMETRIC™ technology delivers greater control without sacrificing power.

SERVO FILTER
PROPERTIES:
A transparent film placed between graphite enhances flexibility when pressure is applied and filters out unnecessary vibration.
 
RESULT:
60%* more flexible and 500%* faster vibration dampening than graphite
 
FLEXCON SYSTEM
PROPERTIES:
A tapered and elongated box frame shaft is composed with 2G-Namd™ Flex Force and SERVO FILTER. This system helps the racquet to flex and extend the ball pocketing duration at the impact.
 
RESULT:
15%* more flexibility on the racket shaft
 
2G-NAMD™ FLEX FORCE
Flex Force graphite allows the racquet to quickly flex and snap back for greater spin and faster ball acceleration off the string bed.
 
STIFF RACKET FACE DESIGN
PROPERTIES:
Increase the graphite content of the racket face. This improves ball control by stabilizing the racquet face at impact.
 
RESULT:
3%* more stability on the racket face
 
LOCK BOOSTER
For Ball-Crushing Spin
 
An improved grommet design that promotes string contact for efficient energy transfer and ball crushing power
