Yonex has broughtback and implemented some new technology and design for the 1st incarnation of the Yonex Percept. Here aresome highlights of what Yonex has welded into the Percept line:

The SERVO FILTER reduces unnecessary vibrations faster than graphite without the filter, allowing players to receive more accurate sensory information to create any shot imaginable.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

IMPROVED BALL-POCKETING with the the FlexCon System allows the racquet shaft to flex and extend the ball pocketing duration, making it easier for players to control and place the ball accurately. This results in 15% moreflexibility on the racquet shaft

STABLE BALL TRAJECTORY frame advancements of the PERCEPT include an increased graphite composition that stabilizes the racquet face upon impact, delivering a more precise ball trajectory.

2G-NAMD FLEX FORCE graphite allows the racquet to quickly flex and snap back for greater spin and faster ball acceleration off the string bed.

STIFF RACQUET FACE DESIGN is an increase of graphite content of the racquet face. This improves ball control by stabilizing the racquet face at impact. This results in more stability on the racquet face
