Demo Yonex Percept 100D Tennis Racket 305g Unstrung - Olive Green

The Yonex Percept 100D is the control-first frame in the Percept line: a 100 sq in head strung to a dense 18x19 pattern at 305 g unstrung. That combination is deliberately unusual — most 100 sq in frames run an open 16x19 — and it gives the 100D flatter, more predictable ball flight than its head size suggests. This listing is for a demo racket from our trial fleet, available to hire and test on court before you buy new.

Key Features

• 18x19 pattern on a 100 sq in head — a tight string bed on a mid-plus face, giving the control of a dense pattern without dropping to a smaller hoop.
• Servo Filter — a thin elastic layer within the shaft that filters harsh vibration, keeping comfort high during long rallies without dulling feedback.
• 2G-NAMD Flex Force — optimises frame flex on impact for responsive, controlled shots.
• Isometric head shape — enlarges the sweet spot for more forgiveness on off-centre hits.
• Elongated shaft — improves pocketing, flexibility and control.
• Stiffer racket face — adds the stability and power needed to command heavy incoming pace.
• Sub-320 swingweight — lets you generate spin from the backcourt and react quickly at the net.

Performance Overview

The 100D suits players who hit their spots. The dense pattern keeps the ball lower over the net and takes some of the launch out of a 100 sq in face, which is exactly what an aggressive baseliner wants when driving into the corners rather than looping. At 305 g unstrung it sits in the classic players'-frame weight band — enough mass to hold up against pace, still swingable through a long match. In Yonex's own swing-machine testing against the previous VCORE PRO, the Percept platform showed a 14% reduction in unwanted vibration, around 10% more ball pocketing and 6.7% better trajectory control.

Benefits

• Flat, precise ball flight — the 18x19 bed takes launch out of a big head size.
• Forgiveness without losing accuracy — bridges the gap from a 98 sq in control frame.
• Comfortable — Servo Filter cuts harsh vibration at impact.
• Stable against pace — the stiffer face resists heavy incoming balls.
• Try it first — an 18x19 on a 100 sq in head is unusual, so demo it before you buy.
