The Percept 100D is a flexible frame suitable for intermediate to advanced players looking to emphasize their impact and control game while maintaining a relatively larger, more forgiving headsize.
The headsize of this racquet, being slightly bigger than the 97-inch models, is an average size which brings up the relative power level due to a larger sweet spot that also provides a more forgiving experience. The weight is on the heavier side of average so its got plenty of stability and punch while providing an easier swinging experience than the heavier variants. The balance of this racquet is very head light which will provide excellent manoeuvrability for deft touch at the net, faster swinging for increased spin potential and more impactful strokes. The tighter 18/19 string pattern brings added precision and the opportunity for stronger players to swing at the ball with confidence.
Yonex's frame technologies continue to evolve and enhance their racquets for impoved performance and feel. For the Percept series, Yonex continues to infuse their racquets with the ISOMETRIC head shape for a larger than expected sweet spot to enhance overall playability. Vibration is reduced with Yonex's Servo Filter for a more comfortable experience by reducing unwanted shock and vibration. Flexiblity and ball pocketing is enhanced with an elongated shaft design to allow a greater degree of control over the ball. Yonex has stiffened the racquet face to enhance the stability and overall power of this frame.
Yonex's 100D variant provides players with an option that feels like a modern racquet with additional features for stronger players looking to maximize their control game.

- ISOMETRIC: 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: A transparent film placed between graphite enhances flexibility when pressure is applied and filters out unnecessary vibration. 60%* more flexible and 500%* faster vibration dampening than graphite.
- FLEXCON SYSTEM 2G-NAMD FLEX FORCE: 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. 15%* more flexibility on the racquet shaft.
- STIFF RACQUET FACE DESIGN: Increase the graphite content of the racquet face. This improves ball control by stabilizing the racquet face at impact. 3%* more stability on the racquet face.
- Lock Booster for Ball-Crushing Spin: An improved grommet design that promotes string contact for efficient energy transfer and ball crushing power.
